The absence of the world No. 1 leaves Rory McIlroy as the overwhelming favorite in Philadelphia this week. The current Masters champion has been the hottest player this season with three total victories. Until Scottie Scheffler's dominant performance at TPC Craig Ranch, he had been leading the PGA Tour in strokes gained from tee to green. He now sits second in that metric at an average of plus-1.725 while leading in strokes gained off the tee (plus-0.855). The 36-year-old also ranks ninth in strokes gained putting (plus-0.593), which is currently a career-best. Given the bigger fish on the plate in a week, a safe consensus is that McIlroy's focus likely won't be totally in Pennsylvania. And though playing him may never be a ship-sinking move, it might not be the most beneficial this particular week at $13,000 on FanDuel.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller
