Ludvig Aberg Enters the Playoffs Inside the Top 10 at Memphis
Ludvig Aberg has done everything but win in 2026. The Swedish golfer did rank 10th in regular season FedEx Cup points via seven Top 10 results. In 17 events, Aberg finished inside the Top 25 11 times. Aberg has two career PGA Tour victories. He came so close to winning both the FedEx St. Jude Championship and BMW Championship for that matter last year. Aberg wound up T-9 at TPC Southwind in 2025. Aberg's driving ability ranks high at 316.4 yards (17th) and 61.78% accuracy (55th). The longer course suits the Swedish golfer well. He has to be a betting factor and potential DFS option considering there is no cut-line this week.

Davis Riley Needs Another Big Week at Wyndham Championship
Davis Riley has struggled for much of the season, making just 11 of 21 cuts, but found something at the Rocket Classic, gaining more than 8.6 strokes with the putter on his way to a solo-third finish. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he has finishes of T38, T13, and two missed cuts in four appearances. This season, Riley ranks 145th in total strokes gained (-0.835 per round), 157th off the tee (-0.795), 134th on approach (-0.334), and 152nd in driving accuracy. The one bright spot has been his putting, where he ranks 11th, gaining +0.517 strokes per round. Riley enters the week 108th in the FedExCup standings, meaning he will need something special to crack the top 70 and qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs. While last week's result was encouraging, it's difficult to trust him to back it up given his season-long struggles.

Keith Mitchell May Be a Risky Option at Wyndham Championship
Keith Mitchell has put together a solid season, recording six top-25 finishes and just three missed cuts in 21 events. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he has only one finish inside the top 40 in six appearances. This season, Mitchell ranks seventh in strokes gained off the tee (+0.612 strokes per round), 48th on approach (+0.301), but just 112th in driving accuracy. The biggest concerns come in the short game, where he ranks 102nd around the green (-0.068) and 114th in putting (-0.174). While Mitchell has played well overall this season, Sedgefield tends to reward precision and putting, two areas that have not been strengths of his game. At $7,900 on DraftKings, he is difficult to trust compared to other options in this price range.

Hideki Matsuyama Bringing Momentum to the Wyndham Championship
Hideki Matsuyama stayed hot at the Rocket Classic, recording a T5 finish after gaining more than 7.4 strokes on approach, his fourth straight result of T14 or better. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he has four top-20 finishes and five missed cuts in nine career starts. This season, Matsuyama ranks 25th in total strokes gained (+0.782 strokes per round), 29th on approach (+0.397), eighth around the green (+0.444), and 78th in putting (+0.057). He is also around average in driving accuracy, ranking 74th, an important stat at Sedgefield. Matsuyama has plenty of momentum heading into this week and is well worth consideration at $9,500 on DraftKings.

Tom Kim Chasing Another Wyndham Championship Title
After missing the cut at The Open Championship, Tom Kim bounced back nicely at the 3M Open, gaining more than 8.2 strokes tee to green on his way to a T20 finish. He now returns to the Wyndham Championship, the tournament where he broke onto the scene with his victory in 2022. That week, Kim put together one of the best putting performances in recent memory, gaining an insane 12.5 strokes with the flat stick. This season, he ranks just 100th in putting (-0.091 strokes per round), but remains elite on approach (fifth, +0.679) and around the green (29th, +0.250). Accuracy is also key at Sedgefield, and Kim ranks 31st in driving accuracy. At $9,200 on DraftKings, he is likely to be one of the week's most popular plays and has the upside to contend for another Wyndham Championship victory.

Emiliano Grillo Looks to Stay Hot at the Wyndham Championship
Emiliano Grillo has put together a very solid stretch over the past couple of months, recording five straight finishes of T31 or better. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he has struggled in three previous appearances, posting results of a missed cut, T59, and T44. Much of Grillo's recent success has been fueled by a hot putter, gaining an average of more than 2.9 strokes per tournament on the greens over that span. He also ranks 80th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.046 per round), 60th on approach (+0.209), and an impressive ninth in driving accuracy. If he continues to find fairways and the putter stays hot, Grillo has a great chance to return value at just $7,300 on DraftKings.

Tony Finau Needs a Big Week at the Wyndham Championship
Tony Finau continued his struggles at the Rocket Classic, losing more than 6.9 total strokes on Sunday and falling to T71. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he finished T44 last year. Finau has struggled throughout the bag this season, ranking 108th off the tee (-0.094 strokes per round), 119th on approach (-0.172), and 108th in putting (-0.154). The lone bright spot has been his short game, where he ranks 27th around the green (+0.256). Finau sits 89th in the FedExCup points race, meaning he will need something special to make the top 70 and sneak into the playoffs. Given what we have seen from Finau this year, it's hard to imagine it will happen.
