Xander Schauffele finished tied for 11th at last week's Truist Championship and is now focusing on preparing for this week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club. He has four consecutive top-20 finishes and has not missed a cut in seven starts this season. Over the past 12 months, Schauffele ranks in the 92nd percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough. This is significant because Quail Hollow Club is one of the longest courses on the PGA Tour rotation this year, measuring 7,200 yards. Schauffele could be a strong addition to DFS lineups this week.

Shane Lowry tied for second at last week's Truist Championship and is now focusing on preparing for this week's PGA Championship, which will be held at Quail Hollow Club. Lowry is enjoying a strong season, with eight top-20 finishes and only one missed cut in 11 starts. Over the past year, he ranks in the 76th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough. This is particularly relevant because Quail Hollow Club measures over 7,200 yards, making it one of the longest courses on the PGA Tour rotation this season. Lowry could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Tom Kim finished tied for 54th at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic last week and is now focused on preparing for this week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club. Kim has had an inconsistent season, with one top-10 finish while missing the cut four times in his 12 starts. Over the past year, he ranks in the 58th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough. This is particularly important considering Quail Hollow Club is one of the longest courses on the PGA Tour rotation this season, measuring over 7,200 yards. Including Kim in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.

Russell Henley finished tied for 46th at last week's Truist Championship and is now focusing on preparing for this week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club. Throughout this season, Henley has four top-10 finishes, one win, and has missed the cut only once in ten starts. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 52nd percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough. This is particularly important, as Quail Hollow Club measures over 7,200 yards, making it one of the longest courses on this year's PGA Tour rotation. Henley could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Tony Finau finished tied for 15th at last week's Truist Championship and is now focusing on preparing for this week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club. So far this season, he has four top-15 finishes but has also missed the cut four times in 12 starts. Over the past year, Finau has ranked in the 91st percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough. This is particularly important since Quail Hollow Club measures over 7,200 yards, making it one of the longest courses on the PGA Tour rotation this season. Finau could be a strong addition to DFS lineups this week.

Wyndham Clark finished tied for 63rd at last week's Truist Championship and is now preparing for this week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club. He has four top-25 finishes this season and has only missed the cut twice in 12 starts. Over the past 12 months, Clark ranks in the 15th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough. This is relevant because Quail Hollow Club, at over 7,200 yards in length, is one of the longest courses on the PGA Tour rotation this season. While Clark could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups, including him does carry some risk.

Ludvig Aberg tied for 60th at the Truist Championship last week and is now focusing on preparing for this week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club. Aberg has two top-10 finishes this season, along with one win. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 38th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough. This is particularly important because Quail Hollow Club measures over 7,200 yards, making it one of the longest courses on the PGA Tour rotation this year. Including Aberg in DFS lineups this week may carry some risk.

Will Zalatoris' play has been underwhelming to say the least in 2025. The good news is that he's only missed one cut in nine starts, but the bad news is that he hasn't finished inside the top 20 since The American Express back in January. The main culprit for his struggles has been his very poor putting, where he ranks 145th in strokes gained putting. Iron play will be the key to success this week at Philadelphia Cricket Club, which has been one of Zalatoris' strong suits. He currently ranks 13th in strokes gained on approach (0.631 strokes gained per round). If he can keep his ball-striking dialed in, he has a chance to compete. It may not be a bad idea to take him at $7,300 on DraftKings, but use caution.

At 44 years old, Justin Rose has played solid golf throughout the 2025 season. He has three finishes inside the top 10, most notably his second-place finish at The Masters, where he lost in a playoff to Rory McIlroy. This week's Truist Championship will be held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club rather than the usual Quail Hollow. The course plays at just 7,119 yards, and iron play from 100-150 yards will be key for players to contend. Rose ranks 70th (+0.108) in strokes gained approach to green, but where he has really made his mark is in putting, where he ranks 41st (+0.300 strokes gained per round). A top 20 finish for Rose is currently +160 and may not be a bad bet.

Russell Henley has been playing spectacular golf in the 2025 season. He has five top-10 finishes, most notably a win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He ranks in the top 20 in every strokes gained category besides off the tee. This week's venue is the Philadelphia Cricket Club, which plays at only 7,119. Henley isn't the longest hitter of the golf ball, but his precision iron play and outstanding putting could be a great advantage for his hopes of competing. He ranks 15th (+0.606) in strokes gained approach to green and 14th in strokes gained putting (+0.505). He has a great chance to contend for a win this week and is a solid play in fantasy formats this week.

Brian Harman has really turned up the heat as of late. He has finished in the top three twice in his last three starts, including a win at the Valero Texas Open. Harman has dialed in his iron play and short game. He ranks 54th (+0.290) in strokes gained on approach and 44th (+0.205) in strokes gained around the green. This week's Truist Championship will be played at the Philadelphia Cricket Club instead of the usual Quail Hollow. Playing at just 7,119 yards, approach play from 100-150 yards will be crucial for being in contention and hitting the tight fairways. He ranks 42nd in driving accuracy at 62.62%, which should play nicely this week. Harman wouldn't be a bad top 20 bet at +160.

Corey Conners is having a heck of a 2025 season thus far. He has five top 10 finishes and has placed eighth or better in four of his last six starts. This week's Truist Championship is being held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club instead of the normal Quail Hollow. The course is playing at just 7,119 yards, and approach game from 100-150 yards will be crucial for players to be in contention. Conners is notoriously known as an elite ball striker and iron player, where he ranks 65th (+0.189) in strokes gained approach to green. He ranks even better from 125-150 yards (29th), which could make him a solid play in both fantasy and betting formats this week.

The only thing missing from Daniel Berger's resume in 2025 is a win. He has finished inside the top three twice, including his last start at the RBC Heritage, where he finished tied for third. On top of that, he hasn't missed a cut since the Farmers Insurance Open back in January. Every aspect of his game is clicking this season as he ranks in the top 50 in every strokes gained category. This week's Truist Championship will be held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club instead of the usual Quail Hollow. The course is playing at just 7,119 yards, and plays similarly to the tight Harbour Town course, which could be a positive for Berger, who is eighth on tour in driving accuracy. He is a strong play in fantasy formats this week.

It hasn't been a strong season for Sahith Theegala, who has recorded just two top-25 finishes through 13 starts, including last week's Zurich Classic—a team event. He'll look to reverse that trend at the Truist Championship, which shifts to Philadelphia Cricket Club this year in place of the usual Quail Hollow. Theegala's statistical profile paints a clear picture of his struggles; he ranks 122nd in total strokes gained (minus-0.232 per round), 136th from tee to green (minus-0.298), and 140th on approach (minus-0.271). His lone bright spot has been in the short game, where he's gained a modest 0.112 strokes per round combined around the green and putting. Until he shows signs of a turnaround, Theegala is best left off fantasy rosters and betting cards.

After a rough showing at The Players Championship, Xander Schauffele has bounced back nicely with finishes of T18, T8, and T12 in his last three starts. He'll look to keep the momentum going at the Truist Championship, which shifts to Philadelphia Cricket Club this year in place of the usual Quail Hollow. While some early-season struggles have skewed his overall stat profile, Schauffele still ranks fifth on tour in strokes gained on approach (plus-0.898 per round). He's also in the 66th percentile in proximity from 100–150 yards and in the 99th percentile from 150–200 yards, two key ranges given the shorter 7,119-yard layout. With elite iron play and consistent recent results, Schauffele carries high-end win equity and can be confidently featured in DFS lineups and betting slips (plus-1,600 to win at FanDuel).
