Brian Harman struggled from tee to green at the PGA Championship, posting rounds of 71-72-76-71 to finish T60. He'll look to bounce back this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he's had strong results in the past. Harman has played at Colonial 12 times, missing the cut twice and finishing no worse than T31 in every other appearance. This course plays to his strengths, as accuracy is at a premium. He ranks 39th in driving accuracy and sits in the 87th percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards over the last 12 months, a range that accounted for 42.5% of approach shots here last year. Priced at $8,500 on DraftKings, Harman's strong course history makes him a reliable option for fantasy managers this week.

Since his T3 finish at The Players Championship, Akshay Bhatia hasn't been at his best, recording three missed cuts and three finishes of T42 or worse over his last six starts. He'll look to turn things around at the Charles Schwab Challenge, where accuracy will be key, which plays to Bhatia's strengths. He ranks 55th in driving accuracy, 46th in strokes gained per round on approach (plus-0.326), and sits in the 77th percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards, a range that accounted for 42.5% of approach shots at Colonial last year. Despite his poor finishes, he's been rolling the rock well, ranking ninth in strokes gained putting (plus-0.614). At $8,000 on DraftKings, Bhatia presents a solid core play for fantasy managers this week.

Given the lack of appearances for Robert MacIntyre in full-field events since missing the cut at The Masters, it's a little difficult to tell where exactly his game stands among a full stack of PGA Tour talent, where poor play results in missed cuts. His most recent T47 finish at the PGA Championship saw him gain strokes across the board, but only by a slim margin. With his lack of production lately, the Scotsman still ranks 15th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.475) and 20th from tee to green (+0.835). It's important to note that production in both areas hasn't been nearly as productive over his last five starts, but a first round at Quail Hollow that saw him gain +4.90 strokes tee to green may have been a glimpse that things are returning. At $11,000 on FanDuel, MacIntyre may be a decent ownership pivot for certain lineups.

The picture of Si Woo Kim and fellow playing partner, Max Homa, making rounds on social media after playing with eventual champion Scottie Scheffler on Saturday at Quail Hollow tells the story of his weekend at the PGA Championship. The South Korean shot +2 over par on Sunday to finish T8, and now heads to Fort Worth having finished inside the top 20 in four of his last five starts. In eight career starts, his track record at Colonial Country Club is ugly. However, Kim makes statistical sense this week, ranking 11th in par-4 scoring average (3.97) and 30th on the season in driving accuracy (64.52%). He also ranks 14th in strokes gained around the green (+0.377), which will be handy at a traditionally more difficult venue. At $10,800 on FanDuel, it may be worth taking the risk on him given the current form.

The strong season continues for Harris English, who fired an incredible six-under-par 65 on Sunday at Quail Hollow to sneak into a T2 finish. It was a hot week with his irons, as the former Georgia Bulldog led the field in strokes gained on approach (plus-1.99) and greens in regulation (76.4%). It has been his flat stick doing much of the work this season, as the 35-year-old PGA Tour veteran ranks 22nd this year in strokes gained putting (plus-0.414). His lack of firepower off the tee, mixed with the irregularity in accuracy as well, makes him a little more scary than other players around him at $11,100 on FanDuel, but his game is certainly trending in the right direction.

It was a calm and underwhelming finish to what was a hot start last week at Quail Hollow for Cam Davis, as he fired a first-round 66 before shooting a combined three-over in the other three rounds to finish T19. Still, it was a quality finish and an end to a frustrating run for the Australian over the last several weeks. It was the first time since the Sentry that he's gained strokes in all facets, but even still, it doesn't bolster much DFS confidence this week at a narrow, accuracy-driven Colonial Country Club. The 30-year-old ranks 162nd this season in driving accuracy (52.67%) and 114th in greens in regulation (64.72%). He's an entertaining watch, as he ranks inside the top 10 on tour in birdie or better percentage (25.56%). The flip side to that that he also ranks 164th in bogey avoidance (18.47%). At $8,900 on FanDuel, Davis is not the best candidate here, even if his game is starting to trend upward.

Brian Harman has played some very solid golf as of late. He has finished in the top three in two of his last four starts, including a win at the Valero Texas Open. This week's PGA Championship is taking place at Quail Hollow, which measures 7,600+ yards. This could be a problem for Harman, who has not gained many strokes off the tee and doesn't hit the ball particularly long. He ranks 116th in strokes gained off the tee (-0.021) and 164th in driving distance (291.5 yards). He also has not played particularly well on par 5s (95th in scoring average), which is crucial at QHC. It's best to avoid him as much as possible in DFS and betting this week.

Cameron Smith has seen success on the LIV Tour in 2025. He's finished in the top 10 in his last three starts and finished second at the BMW Australian PGA Championship earlier this season. This week's PGA Championship will be played at Quail Hollow, a place where Smith has little experience. He's only played there twice and has missed the cut both times, including the last time the PGA Championship was held there in 2017. The course measures 7,600 yards and predominantly caters to longer hitters. Smith has struggled to gain strokes off the tee, ranking 44th on LIV in that category. It's best to pivot away from the Australian in all formats this week.

Joaquin Niemann has been playing stellar golf over the last year. He's won two LIV events this season and finished T12 in Hong Kong. He will be making his first appearance at Quail Hollow since the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship. His game is in great form coming into this week's PGA Championship. With QHC measuring at 7,600+ yards, the course will primarily cater to longer hitters. This season, Niemann ranks third in driving distance, fifth in strokes gained off the tee, and even ranks fourth in strokes gained on approach on the LIV Tour. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him competing at the top of the leaderboard this week, making him a great play in both DFS and betting formats.

After finishing T5 at The Masters, Sungjae Im has maintained his momentum into this week. He followed that up with a T11 at the RBC Heritage and finished just outside the top 20 at last week's Truist Championship. This week's PGA Championship will be held at Quail Hollow and measures just over 7,600 yards. While Im doesn't hit the ball particularly long, he can still gain strokes off the tee and ranks 20th (+0.425) and 49th in total driving. His par-5 scoring average is also excellent, where he ranks sixth, which could give him a massive advantage at QHC. In addition, he is coming off back-to-back top 10 finishes at the Wells Fargo Championship in 2023 and 2024. He could be a great value play in DFS and a top 20 bet for this week.

The decline of Max Homa has been one of the craziest stories in 2025. After his T12 finish at The Masters, many thought things were trending up for the California native. But a 70th place and T30 finish in his next two starts have been a cause for pause once again. The stats don't lie, as he ranks outside the top 100 in every strokes gained statistic besides around the green. The only positive Homa has going for him this week is his solid history at Quail Hollow with a win at the 2019 Wells Fargo Championship and two more top 10 finishes in 2023 and 2024. Still, it's a new season, and there's no indication that he has turned his game around. It's best to avoid him in both DFS and betting formats this week.

At 37 years old, Jason Day is playing fantastic golf in 2025. He finished tied for eighth at The Masters and has two more top-10 finishes and another top-20. This week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow presents a challenge for Day at 7,600+ yards. He hasn't been stellar off the tee this year, ranking 163rd in total driving and 130th in driving distance. However, the Australian has a great course history at Quail Hollow, with a win at the 2018 Wells Fargo Championship, and three other top 10 finishes, including the 2017 PGA Championship. While Day's stats don't particularly line up, his course history is enough to take a flyer on him this week.

Sam Burns has had quite the up-and-down season in 2025. The good news is he's only missed three cuts and has finished in the top 10 twice, with another finish in the top 20. The bad news is that parts of his game, like his iron play, are failing him and holding him back from competing in more tournaments. This week's PGA Championship is being held at Quail Hollow, which measures 7,626 yards. Players will need excellent play off the tee to succeed, an area in which Burns has been solid this year. He ranks 88th in strokes gained off the tee and 37th in total driving. His putter has also been hot, and he ranks number one on Tour in strokes gained putting (+0.997). He is still a hazardous play given his inconsistency in DFS and betting formats.

Daniel Berger will make his first start at Quail Hollow since the 2019 Wells Fargo Championship and his first start at the PGA Championship since 2022. Though his history has not been the best at this venue or event, Berger is playing some of the best golf of his career in 2025. Players will need excellent play off the tee and be able to capitalize on the par 5s around the course to succeed. Berger has been excellent gaining strokes off the tee this year, ranking 28th (+0.373) in that category. He also ranks eighth in strokes gained tee-to-green (+1.169). He has a great shot to compete this week and should be considered a solid DFS play.

Just as other players have experienced this same talking point on their last leg, Jordan Spieth comes to another PGA Championship with talks of completing the same feat Rory McIlroy accomplished at The Masters last month -- the career grand slam. Talks have been muted given his struggles between the ropes in recent years, but since returning from wrist surgery in February, the 31-year-old has put together solid finishes. In 11 events, Spieth has accumulated two top-five finishes, a top-10, and three top-20s with only one missed cut. He ranks 19th on the season in total strokes gained (plus-0.842) but doesn't jump off the page in any singular area. His approach play has been a roller coaster that has averaged anywhere from minus-1.74 to plus-1.94 strokes on any given week, though his proximity numbers rank higher the farther he gets from the hole. At $10,300 on FanDuel, the former Longhorn makes an interesting case worth taking a chance on.
