Sungjae Im finished 60th at the Texas Children's Houston Open two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Masters Tournament at Augusta National. So far this season, Im has missed the cut in three out of his ten tournaments but has two top-five finishes. He also missed the cut at last year's Masters Tournament. Over the past year, Im ranks in the 47th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is important because, at last year's Masters, over 37% of approach shots came from this distance. Including Im in DFS lineups this week may carry some risk.

Tommy Fleetwood finished T62 at last week's Valero Texas Open and will now focus on preparing for the Masters Tournament at Augusta National. He has not missed the cut in any of his seven starts this season and has four top-20 finishes. Last year, Fleetwood tied for third at the Masters Tournament. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 94th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because over 37% of approach shots at last year's Masters came from this distance. Fleetwood could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Wyndham Clark finished tied for fifth at the Texas Children's Houston Open two weeks ago and is now shifting his focus to the Masters Tournament at Augusta National this week. He has only missed one cut this year and boasts three top-20 finishes. Last year, however, Clark did miss the cut at the Masters Tournament. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 67th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is particularly relevant because more than 37% of approach shots at last year's Masters came from this distance. Including Clark in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.

Ludvig Aberg missed the cut at last week's Valero Texas Open and is now focusing on preparing for the Masters Tournament at Augusta National. This is Aberg's second consecutive missed cut. He finished second at the Masters Tournament in 2024. Over the past 12 months, Aberg ranks in the 88th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because, at last year's Masters, over 37% of approach shots came from this distance. Aberg could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week, but including him does carry some risk.

Since finishing T12 at the WM Phoenix Open, it has been mostly downhill for Cameron Young. He has missed four cuts in his last five starts, losing strokes from tee to green in every event, which does not bode well heading into the Valero Texas Open — an event he has yet to play in his PGA career. Young will need to turn around his overall play, as he currently ranks 178th in strokes gained on approach (minus-0.890 per round), 161st from tee to green (minus-0.877), and 124th around the green (minus-0.113). While he does make up some of these strokes off the tee and with his putter, gaining 0.379 combined strokes per round, he ranks just 175th in greens in regulation. Given his struggles around the green, Young doesn't model well this week. At a price tag of $7,100 on DraftKings, fantasy managers should look elsewhere.

Kurt Kitayama has not been in ideal form to start the year, missing the cut in four of his nine starts and recording no finishes higher than T33. He looks to turn things around at the Valero Texas Open, an event he has yet to play in his PGA career. To succeed here, players will need to be accurate on approach and proficient from tee to green. Kitayama ranks 112th in strokes gained on approach (minus-0.119 per round), but 51st from tee to green (0.431 gained per round). He is also 123rd in greens in regulation and ranks in just the 18th percentile for greens in regulation from 200-plus yards, a range that accounted for 28.7% of all approach shots here last year. At a price tag of $7,600 on DraftKings, fantasy managers may want to avoid Kitayama until he can string together more consistent finishes.

Patrick Cantlay has been rock-solid to start the year, finishing in the top 33 in all six of his starts, including four top-15 finishes. He now aims to continue his strong form at the Valero Texas Open, an event he has yet to play in his career. Success at TPC San Antonio requires sharp play on approach, an area where Cantlay has excelled this season. Currently, he ranks 33rd in strokes gained on approach, gaining an impressive 0.443 strokes per round. In addition to his approach game, Cantlay boasts a solid short game, ranking 35th in strokes gained putting (0.367 per round) and 45th around the green (0.224). He also ranks in the 90th percentile for proximity from 200-plus yards, an area that accounted for 28.7% of all approach shots here last year. With a price tag of $10,200 on DraftKings, Cantlay offers the kind of winning upside that fantasy managers are searching for.

It was an inspiring week in Houston for Gary Woodland, who posted a final-round 62 on Sunday to leap into a T2 finish. This was the highest finish the former Jayhawk has had since returning from brain surgery 18 months ago. He had been showing signs of form all season, as he ranks fourth in driving distance (315.2) and 12th in proximity to the hole (34 feet, six inches). His strokes-gained metrics haven't necessarily been there, though, as his 46th ranking in strokes gained on approach (plus-0.389) is his highest ranking. He should be licking his chops coming to TPC San Antonio after finishing T6 and T8 in his last two starts in this event, especially if his dominant putting we saw at Memorial Park continues -- he gained 8.72 strokes. At $10,000 on FanDuel, Woodland seems to be peaking at a very opportune time.

After a T3 finish at The PLAYERS Championship, Akshay Bhatia has now recorded six top-32 finishes this year, including three top-10s in his last four starts. He looks to carry this momentum into the Valero Texas Open, an event he won in 2024. In last year's tournament, Bhatia led the field in strokes gained on approach and tee-to-green play — areas where he has continued to excel this year. He currently ranks 43rd in strokes gained on approach (0.372 per round), 85th off the tee (0.076), and has been lights-out with his putter, ranking ninth on tour (0.646). He is also in the 96th percentile in greens in regulation from 200-plus yards, an area that accounted for 28.7% of all approach shots here last year. At a price tag of $9,300, Bhatia should be a lock in most fantasy lineups.

It was a surprisingly successful, but typical raucous week in Houston for Alejandro Tosti. The 28-year-old finished in a tie for fifth after posting a season-high +2.45 total strokes gained average for the week. However, the bigger storyline is the antics between the ropes during Sunday's final round and Tosti's frustration with slow play. His fiery nature also flared up at this event last season with Tony Finau. Both instances seemed to result in him losing focus, potentially costing him two chances at victories. Nevertheless, he comes to TPC San Antonio in decent form, averaging +0.95 strokes gained on approach and +0.216 around the green over his last three starts. Success will likely come down to his putting, which can be wildly sporadic. At $8,200 on FanDuel, he's worth a flyer pick for riskier lineups.

Perhaps one of the biggest conundrums for DFS this season is what to make of Jordan Spieth. The former Longhorn has returned to deliver the same gut-wrenching performances he did before his injury stint. Approach play has been all over the place, with him gaining over seven shots with his irons at both the Phoenix Open and his last start at Valspar. However, he lost strokes in large amounts in the three events in between. More frustrating is that most other metrics have been equally as much of a rollercoaster. The biggest reason for trusting Spieth this week is the incredible course history at TPC San Antonio, where he secured a victory in 2021. At $11,100 on FanDuel Spieth carries a ton of risk, but the winnable upside is there.
