Golf icon Tiger Woods was reportedly involved in a rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, early Friday afternoon. As the investigation continues, no details about the accident or Woods' condition have been released by the Martin County Sherriff's Department, though a sheriff's office spokesperson is expected to speak with the media later on Friday. The 15-time major champion had recently competed in the TGL Finals and had been rumored to be considering a return to competitive tournament golf at the upcoming Masters. Woods, who sustained serious leg injuries in a 2021 car crash outside of Los Angeles, has a history of incidents on the road. More updates will be provided as additional information becomes available.

Ryan Fox has quietly put together a very strong start to the season, posting four straight finishes of T24 or better through his first four events. He looks to continue that run at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where he has recorded finishes of T78 and T15 in two appearances. Success here typically hinges on distance off the tee, long iron play, and avoiding bogeys. Fox ranks 25th in total strokes gained (+1.045 per round), 75th on approach (+0.094), 16th in driving distance, and 24th in bogey avoidance. He has also been excellent from 200+ yards, ranking fourth in proximity (41'8"), a range that made up 30.5% of approach shots here last year. At just $7,400 on DraftKings, Fox offers significant upside at a discounted price at Memorial Park.

Marco Penge continued his up-and-down start to the year with a T4 finish at the Valspar Championship, marking his second result of T16 or better through six events. He will look to carry that momentum into the Texas Children's Houston Open, where he is making his tournament debut. Success here typically hinges on distance off the tee, long iron play, and avoiding bogeys. Penge ranks first on tour in strokes gained off the tee (+0.861 per round) and seventh in driving distance, but sits just 140th on approach (-0.621) and 147th in bogey avoidance. In fact, he has lost strokes in every major category outside of off the tee. At $9,100 on DraftKings, Penge is likely to be a popular pivot given his elite driving ability, but his approach game has the potential to hold him back.

Aaron Rai appeared to be rounding into form with a T23 finish at the Cognizant Classic, but has since missed back-to-back cuts. He will look to get back on track at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where he has competed four times, posting T19, T7, T7, and a missed cut. Success here typically hinges on distance off the tee, long iron play, and avoiding bogeys. Rai ranks 75th in strokes gained on approach (+0.094 per round), but is only 164th in driving distance and 108th in bogey avoidance. In his two T7 results at Memorial Park, Rai gained over 8.2 strokes putting, an area where he has struggled this season. He has lost strokes with the flat stick in four of six starts and sits 129th on tour in strokes gained putting (-0.437 per round). Without elite short game, Rai could find it difficult to keep up with the longer hitters on tour, making him a risky option at $7,700 on DraftKings.

Jason Day has been in a bit of a slump in his last three events, recording two missed cuts and, most recently, a T59 finish at THE PLAYERS. He will look to bounce back at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where he has a T16, missed cut, and T27 in his three most recent appearances. Success here typically hinges on distance off the tee, long iron play, and avoiding bogeys. Day ranks just 130th on approach (-0.454 strokes per round) and 131st in driving accuracy, though he is 11th in bogey avoidance. His short game has remained elite, ranking 10th around the green (+0.482) and 53rd putting (+0.245). His iron play has been a concern, ranking 150th in proximity from 200+ yards, a range that made up over 30% of approach shots here last year. At $8,000 on DraftKings, Day will likely lean on his short game to contend, making him a risky option in this range.

Before his missed cut at THE PLAYERS, Harris English had put together a very consistent start to the season, finishing between T22 and T27 in each of his first six events. He looks to return to that form at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where he has recorded a T4, T39, and T18 in his three most recent appearances. Success here typically hinges on distance off the tee, long iron play, and avoiding bogeys. English sits 123rd in strokes gained on approach (-0.355 per round), 75th in driving distance, and 46th in bogey avoidance. He also ranks in the 85th percentile from 150-200 yards, a range that made up 36.5% of shots into greens here last year. At $8,900 on DraftKings, English presents as a solid option, but his upside could be limited by inconsistent iron play.

Ben Griffin continued a slow start to the season, missing his third straight cut at the Valspar Championship last week. He will be searching for a spark at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where he has posted finishes of T16, T36, and T18 in three appearances. Success here typically hinges on distance off the tee, long iron play, and avoiding bogeys. Griffin sits 117th in strokes gained on approach (-0.251), 26th in driving distance, and 46th in bogey avoidance. He has struggled on longer approach shots, ranking just 164th in proximity from 200+ yards, a range that accounted for over 30% of shots into greens here last year. Despite that, his short game has been solid, gaining +0.450 strokes around the green, 14th on tour. Griffin is still difficult to trust in fantasy lineups, but this could be the turnaround spot he has been searching for.

Rickie Fowler has found plenty of success so far this season, posting seven straight finishes of T28 or better before a T42 at THE PLAYERS two weeks ago. He will look to get back on track at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where he has recorded three top-10 finishes in eight appearances. Success here typically hinges on distance off the tee, long iron approach play, and avoiding bogeys. Fowler ranks 26th in total strokes gained (+1.004 per round), 45th on approach (+0.313), 74th in driving distance, and ninth in bogey avoidance. He also sits in the 82nd percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that made up over 36% of approach shots here last year. Fowler has been in excellent form to start the year and sets up well to continue that play at Memorial Park. At $9,400 on DraftKings, he offers strong upside in a loaded price range.

Scottie Scheffler has withdrawn from the upcoming Texas Children's Houston Open. The withdrawal is not injury-related, as he and his wife, Meredith, are expecting the birth of their second child this week. The top-ranked player in the world, Scheffler's absence removes the clear favorite from the Houston field, opening the door for a more balanced outright betting market and elevating the fantasy outlook for several mid-tier contenders.
