Max Homa May Struggle at Old Doral This Weekend
Max Homa gains the fortune of a 72-hole event with no cut. The American golfer has been up and down as far as performance lately. Homa finished T-9 at the Masters but well outside the Top 50 at the RBC Heritage. The old Doral (Blue Monster) has upgraded obstacles so that is where the red flags rise with Homa. Greens in regulation rank 107th at 64.22% but the metrics get worse when it ranges from Proximity (145th) to sand saves (151st at 40.32%). Homa has posted -6% or worse driver accuracy in three of the past four events. Homa may have a problem staying out of trouble which impacts his potential from a betting perspective.

Ben Griffin Rebounds From Rough Stretch as Miami Looms
Ben Griffin missed three straight cuts before bouncing back in April. The American golfer did manage his first Top 10 of the season at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. One of the bigger problems Griffin had at the RBC Heritage was driver distance. He was 18 yards off from the field average. Driver accuracy ranks a solid 26th at 63.5% but the Cadillac Championship is a long, 7700+ yard course. When it comes to longer shots from greater than 200 yards, Griffin ranks 160th at 59 feet 1 inch. Around the green is a strength for Griffin but approach is not which is vital this week. The golfer may be one to fade in DFS and betting circles this week.

Shane Lowry Searching For Answers at Cadillac Championship
After a rough few weeks, Shane Lowry has gone from one of the sneakiest high-upside plays to a DFS nightmare. And there is no real explanation other than mental struggles lingering from the Cognizant Classic collapse, as he has missed three cuts and failed to crack the top 25 in three other starts. With an average of over a stroke and a half on approach in two of his last three starts, and his latest appearance last week in New Orleans was his largest week in strokes gained off the tee. It's just a matter of when the confidence and grit return to the Northern Irishman, and a difficult test at Doral may not be the best place for that to happen.

Daunting Test at Doral Likely Not a Place For Russell Henley
It's been a fine season thus far for Russell Henley, who has finished in the top 25 or better in every event he's made the cut in. How he's gotten things done remains largely the same: accurate ball striking, a proficient short game, and elite putting acumen. That recipe works almost anywhere, but Doral is a long, demanding test from tee to green that asks more from a player than surviving on and around the greens. Henley is one of the worst performers this season from beyond 200 yards (ranked 147th in proximity), a distance range he will see often this week. He'll inevitably get four cracks at this famed property, but it may be hard for him to stay afloat without improved long iron play.

Justin Rose Returns to Action After Finishing Third at Masters Tournament
Justin Rose finished third at the Masters Tournament three weeks ago and will return to action this week for the Cadillac Championship held at Trump National Doral Miami in Miami, Florida. So far this season, Rose has one win, two top-25 finishes and three missed cuts seven starts. Rose has bounced back after missing two straight cuts and secured two straight top-25 finishes. Over the past 12 months, Rose ranks in the 67th percentile in greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 200 yards in the fairway. This is important because the Blue Monster Course will play over 7,739 yards, making it the second longest course in the rotation this year.

Rickie Fowler Rides History into the Blue Monster at Doral
Rickie Fowler has experience playing in the Miami area. The American golfer lives in Florida (Jupiter) and played in the last six WGC Championships (before it ended in 2016). Fowler had two Top 10 results in those six years and three Top 15 outcomes. Even with further course updates, the golfer carries some buzz to finish inside the Top 20 (+120 at DraftKings). Fowler rode an opening round 65 to a T-8 finish at the RBC Heritage nine days ago. One of the bigger aspects of Fowler's game is his improved driving accuracy (63.9% - 19th) and putting (0.518 strokes gained - 16th). With his ability for lower numbers, Fowler is a reasonable DFS possibility and could be intriguing from a betting perspective too.

Keegan Bradley on Good Run Heading into Cadillac Championship
Keegan Bradley has played better over his last two PGA events. The American golfer finished inside the Top 25 at both events. Bradley had an excellent Sunday each time as well (68 and 66 respectively). One of the wrinkles this week is a new event at the Blue Monster at Doral. A 7.739-yard course weights heavily on some golfers but Bradley has solid driving metrics (306.3 yards - 55th and 62.5% accuracy - 38th). Doral is more than long holes and features upgraded hazards and obstacles. Bradley had early odds around +6000 to win but looking toward a Top 20 at +146 via DraftKings. Bradley's greens in regulation (62.04% - 142nd) is the only red flag but that number has improved of late.

Chris Gotterup Looks to Continue Big-Game Hunting at Cadillac Championship
The strong season for Chris Gotterup continues at Trump National Doral, as the long-hitting 26-year-old will make his first start at this iconic venue. It's been a long time since the PGA Tour set up shop here, and the U.S. Open-like conditions that will be presented here are the perfect place for him to flex his ballstriking muscle. He ranks ninth on the season in strokes gained from tee to green, and while the 0.423 strokes gained on approach is impressive in its own right, it has been the 0.613 strokes gained off the tee that has been the real bright spot. If Gotterup can avoid his share of three-putts on the massive green complexes and avoid making the big numbers that are possible on many of these holes, he'll be a fine play in most lineup constructions.

Jason Day Looks to Bring Experience Back to the Blue Monster
It's been 10 years since the PGA Tour played at Doral, and Jason Day is one of the few men in this week's field to have competed at this historic property. The Australian is struggling to find consistent form so far in 2026, with most of it residing in the ironplay. It's gotten better in recent weeks, but it certainly isn't at the level needed for the difficult test this week, as he is one of the lowest-ranked players in proximity over 200 yards this season. The major caveat that still gives him meaningful DFS value is his bogey avoidance (ranked fourth on the PGA Tour) thanks to a stellar short game. This week will play with major championship-esque difficulty, and the 38-year-old has some familiarity with the test that awaits. While he is likely near the middle-to-bottom end of what feels like the viable options this week, there is enough to like here to give him a chance in certain lineups.
