Nick Dunlap has struggled to find consistency this season, making just 12 cuts in 24 starts and finishing inside the top 25 only three times. He'll look to turn things around at the World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal. Measuring 7,452 yards, El Cardonal rewards players who can drive it long and straight, hit long irons, and capitalize on birdie chances. Dunlap ranks 174th in total driving but has shown promise both on approach and on the greens, ranking 74th (+0.131 strokes per round) on approach and 72nd (+0.112) in putting. He also sits in the 72nd percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, likely to be a key range this week. Despite that, Dunlap has missed seven cuts in his last ten events, and at $6,400 on DraftKings, he's a risky play best left off fantasy lineups.

Wyndham Clark's 2025 season has been underwhelming, with just two top-10 finishes in 23 starts and four missed cuts along the way. His struggles continued at the Baycurrent Classic in October, where he finished T48. Now, he'll look to get back on track at the World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal. At 7,452 yards, this course sets up well for players who can drive it long and accurately, hit solid long irons, and convert their birdie looks on the greens. Clark currently ranks 105th in total driving, 150th in strokes gained on approach (-0.284 per round), and 61st in putting (+0.142). He does, however, rank in the 74th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that will likely be crucial this week. While his game showed some positive signs toward the end of the summer, at $8,900 on DraftKings, Clark remains a risky play until he finds steadier form.

Michael Brennan earned a sponsor exemption into the Bank of Utah Championship in October, marking his first career start on the PGA Tour, and he made the most of it. Brennan dominated the event, winning by four strokes and securing his PGA Tour membership in the process. He'll look to continue his incredible story at the World Wide Technology Championship, held at El Cardonal. The 7,452-yard par-72 layout features wide fairways that reward long hitters, allowing Brennan to fully showcase his power. In his victory, he averaged 319.4 yards off the tee with an 89.29% driving accuracy rate, gained +0.511 strokes on approach per round, and was exceptional on the greens, gaining +1.347 strokes putting with just one three-putt all week. Those strengths will be key once again in Mexico. Priced at $9,000 on DraftKings, Brennan presents an impressive profile with clear upside, but also carries plenty of risk, given it's only his second career start.

LIV Golf announced Tuesday that it will expand to a four-round, 72-hole format starting in 2026. The move is a notable shift from the 54-hole format that LIV has utilized since its inception four years ago, though it will continue to feature both team and individual competitions at its events. The format change appears to be aimed at bolstering LIV's bid for Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) points, which have so far been unavailable to its players. While the change doesn't guarantee that OWGR points will be awarded, it represents a key step toward aligning the often-criticized league's structure with established global standards.

For psychos like us, we already know that Alex Noren was quite the DFS darling both in 2024 and to end 2025's regular season. The 43-year-old tore his hamstring in January, and after some lengthy time off, has finally returned to the high level of play we grew accustomed to. He'll make the start this week in Utah to better his 111th FedEx Cup ranking, and the Black Desert Resort is a perfect place to do that. Noren has shown himself to be more comfortable on bentgrass putting surfaces than anywhere else on the PGA Tour circuit. Over his last five measured events, the tour journeyman has gained an average of +1.208 strokes putting. His approach play has also come alive, averaging +0.690 strokes on approach over that same span. The driver and his distance with it will be a hindrance, but the Swede is playing well enough in other areas to counter.

Following his snub from the U.S. Ryder Cup team, Maverick McNealy played an excellent tournament at the Procore Championship a month ago. The former Stanford Cardinal finished T13 and gained strokes across the board. Given his success over the last two seasons, his clear commitment to the grind shows the start of perhaps the next great American player, or at least a lit fire. This week's Bank of Utah Championship is another opportunity for the 29-year-old to hoist some hardware. His distance off the tee (306.6) and sharp putting acumen make him a no-brainer. The floor doesn't feel very low with this one, and the ceiling could be a runaway victory.

Aside from his lone T3 at the American Express, Justin Lower has done very little to secure many starts for next year's PGA Tour season. As someone who's notoriously stayed on the top 100 bubble for most of his career, things are a bit more dire this time around with the cut in PGA Tour cards; he enters the week at 129th on the FedEx Cup points list. Luckily for Lower, there are still a few cracks left to play well enough to sneak in. However, the possibility of it happening this week isn't likely. The 36-year-old is a poor fit for this course from a length-needed perspective, especially with spotty approach play and a putter that's as streaky as they come. There isn't much reason to consider him this week.
