Marco Penge Trending Down Entering Zurich Classic
Marco Penge struggled at the RBC Heritage, finishing T77 and losing over 8.28 total strokes, including -0.898 strokes off the tee, the first time he has lost strokes in that area this season. Over his last two starts, Penge has also lost more than 13 total strokes tee to green, and fatigue from playing six straight events may be starting to show. Despite this dip in form, he will tee it up again this week at the Zurich Classic alongside Matt Wallace, who finished T2 at the Valero Texas Open but has otherwise struggled to find form this season. Penge remains one of the stronger drivers on Tour, gaining +0.607 strokes per round off the tee (12th) and ranking sixth in driving distance. While the 27-year-old has shown flashes this season, his game is currently trending in the wrong direction heading into New Orleans.

Sahith Theegala Eyes Another Strong Week at Zurich Classic
Sahith Theegala has put together a strong bounce-back season after a down 2025, recording seven top-25 finishes through his first 11 events, including a T25 last week at the RBC Heritage. He looks to keep it going at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, where he will team up with Aaron Rai. This duo forms a well-balanced pairing, with Theegala ranking 23rd in total strokes gained (+0.889 per round), 14th around the green (+0.382), and 36th in putting (+0.327). He can be sporadic off the tee, ranking just 106th in driving accuracy, but Rai is sitting in eighth. In this team format, players can get away with more volatility off the tee, and Theegala's overall form has been solid all season. This duo should have a strong chance to make a run into the weekend.

Shane Lowry Teams Up with Brooks Koepka at Zurich Classic
Shane Lowry opened the season with finishes of T8, T24, and T2, but has since cooled off, missing two cuts and failing to finish better than T28 in his last five. He now looks to regain form at the Zurich Classic, where he won in 2025 alongside partner Rory McIlroy. This year, he'll team up with Brooks Koepka, forming arguably the most formidable duo in the field. Lowry has been solid overall, gaining 0.794 strokes per round (29th on Tour), but his around-the-green play has held him back, ranking 103rd and losing -0.095 strokes per round. He has not finished worse than 13th here in his last three appearances, and will look to use this unique format to get back on track.

Si Woo Kim Adds Another Strong Finish at RBC Heritage
Si Woo Kim finished solo third at the RBC Heritage, gaining over 3.53 strokes off the tee and 4.46 on the greens. This marked his seventh finish of T13 or better in his first 11 starts. The gains with the putter are especially encouraging for Kim, who ranks just 111th on Tour in putting, losing -0.227 strokes per round. He has been elite in nearly every other area, sitting 11th in total strokes gained (+1.377 per round), fourth tee to green (+1.605), and fourth on approach (+0.817). Kim also ranks first on Tour in driving accuracy, hitting 71.75% of fairways, and also leads in proximity (33'3"). Playing from the fairway and consistently hitting greens will always keep him near the top of the leaderboard, and if the putter stays hot, he has the upside to win most tournaments he competes in.

Luke Clanton Hoping to Find Form in New Orleans
It has been a slog of a season for Luke Clanton, whose T5 finish in Puerto Rico has been the only placement inside the top 70 all year for the former FSU Seminole. He has lost strokes in most areas and doesn't hold any fantasy value on a week-to-week basis. However, teaming up with Blades Brown this week at the Zurich Classic will hopefully free him up to have a better week. For DFS purposes, this duo is quite the flyer pick with optimistic upside. But finding success could give Clanton some momentum heading into the middle of the season.

Scottie Scheffler is Starting to Hit His Stride
After back-to-back second-place finishes, Scottie Scheffler is eyeing his next victory. If it weren't for the slow starts that have plagued nearly every event since his win at the AMEX, there is no telling how many victories he would have converted to this point. Just as it has been for three years, there are no glaring weaknesses in the former Longhorn's game, as he leads the PGA Tour in total strokes gained average (2.049). The accuracy issues have seemingly been resolved, and he is making more birdies than anyone else in professional golf. He'll undoubtedly be the favorite when he tees it up next week in Miami.

Brooks Koepka Looking for Progress in PGA Return With Partner at Zurich Classic
In a year full of scenarios we never thought we would see Brooks Koepka in, the five-time major champion is making the start in New Orleans this week with a somewhat unlikely partner, Shane Lowry. The duo is arguably the strongest team in this week's field, as both men have turned in solid finishes over the last month and a half. Koepka has averaged 0.965 strokes gained on approach over his last four events played. The only real fall off has been on and around the green, but it hasn't been such a detriment that it isn't allowing him to score. If he and Lowry pair as well together in reality as they do on paper, it could be a chance at a much-needed victory for Koepka.

Matt Fitzpatrick Looks to Share Recent Form at Zurich Classic
With two wins in his last three starts, Matt Fitzpatrick is likely the hottest player in the game right now. He's climbed to third in the OWGR and is taking his talents to New Orleans this week to team up with his brother, Alex, in the Zurich Classic team event. The 31-year-old is now ranked third on the season in strokes gained from tee to green (1.725), thanks to red-hot ball striking and a temperamental putter that thrived en route to his victory in Hilton Head on Sunday. He should be able to do plenty on his own to keep his team afloat, if not vie for another win.

Sahith Theegala Brings Strong Form Into Harbour Town
Sahith Theegala's bounce-back season is alive and well. He has six top-25 finishes through 10 events, a big jump from just two all of last year. He now looks to keep it rolling at the RBC Heritage, where he has finishes of T5, second, and 69th in his last three appearances. His success here has been driven largely by his short game, as he gained over 15.5 combined strokes around the green and putting in his two top-5 finishes. That continues to be a strength this season, as he ranks 16th in strokes gained around the green (+0.358 per round) and 29th in putting (+0.444). He has also been solid in other key areas, ranking 50th on approach (+0.258) and ninth in par-5 scoring. The main concern with Theegala is keeping the ball in play off the tee, which is critical at Harbour Town, as he ranks just 106th in driving accuracy (56.84%). Theegala has been in great form all season, and if he can find fairways, he has a strong chance to climb the leaderboard here once again.

Wyndham Clark Needs Putter to Show Up at RBC Heritage
Wyndham Clark put together his best result since The American Express with a T21 at The Masters, gaining strokes in every area except putting. He now looks to carry that momentum into the RBC Heritage, where he has recorded finishes of T29, T3, and T27 in his last three appearances. His success at Harbour Town has typically been driven by strong approach play and putting, two areas where he has been a bit inconsistent this season. His irons have been solid, ranking 21st on approach (+0.542 strokes per round), but his putting has been ice cold, sitting 155th and losing -0.725. He has been solid elsewhere, ranking 46th tee to green (+0.513), 52nd around the green (+0.153), and 74th in driving accuracy. At just $7,300 on DraftKings, Clark offers a solid floor at a course where he has found success, but his upside will ultimately depend on whether the putter shows up.

Jacob Bridgeman Looks to Return to Elite Form at Harbour Town
Jacob Bridgeman's T41 finish at The Masters was his worst result of the season, but as a debutant, it is easy to look past given his recent form. He had eight straight finishes of T18 or better prior to that, including a win at The Genesis Invitational. He now looks to get back into elite form at the RBC Heritage, where he finished T61 last year. Success at Harbour Town typically hinges on precision off the tee and strong approach play, areas where Bridgeman has excelled. He ranks second in total strokes gained (+1.933 per round), 22nd on approach (+0.501), and first in putting (+1.339). He is also 60th in driving accuracy and sits in the 89th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that accounted for over 43% of approach shots here this year. Bridgeman is showing no signs of slowing down and should once again be positioned to contend near the top of the leaderboard on Sunday.

J.J. Spaun a Volatile Option at RBC Heritage
J.J. Spaun was unable to build on his win at the Valero Texas Open, struggling with the putter at The Masters and ultimately missing the cut. He now looks to bounce back at the RBC Heritage, where he has four missed cuts and only one finish better than T28 in seven appearances. His struggles on the greens continue to hold him back this year, as he sits 142nd on Tour, losing over -0.554 strokes per round putting. Despite this, he has been solid in other areas, ranking 23rd tee to green (+0.755), 17th on approach (+0.587), and 38th in driving accuracy. He is priced at $7,500 on DraftKings and profiles as a highly volatile play until he can find any consistency with the flat stick.

Sungjae Im Offers High-Upside Value at RBC Heritage
Sungjae Im has not been able to find much stability in his game so far this year, recording only one finish better than T46, which came at the Valspar Championship a few weeks ago. He now looks to get things going at the RBC Heritage, where he has been excellent in the past, with five straight finishes of T21 or better. In every trip to Harbour Town, he has gained strokes off the tee, with his short game consistently helping elevate his finishes. This year, he ranks 104th off the tee (-0.101 strokes per round) and 121st on approach (-0.240), but sits 23rd around the green (+0.307) and 57th putting (+0.197). He still appears to be finding his form after returning from a wrist injury, but this sets up as a strong bounce-back spot. At just $6,700 on DraftKings, he offers plenty of upside at a course where he has already found success.

Matt Fitzpatrick Set for Another Strong Showing at RBC Heritage
Matt Fitzpatrick struggled with his putter at The Masters, losing over 1.78 strokes on the greens, but still put together a solid tournament, finishing T18. He now turns his attention to the RBC Heritage, where he has five prior top-25 finishes, including a win in 2023. His best results here have typically come when both his off the tee play and putting are clicking. This year, he ranks second in strokes gained tee to green (+1.667 per round), seventh on approach (+0.810), 22nd around the green (+0.309), and 94th in putting (-0.083). He has also been elite off the tee in terms of accuracy, sitting third on Tour and hitting over 70% of fairways. Fitzpatrick's recent form has been excellent, and at a course where he has already had success, he profiles as an elite option at $10,000 on DraftKings.

Jason Day Eyes Bounce-Back After Sunday Struggles at the Masters
Jason Day had a difficult Sunday at The Masters, entering the final round just three strokes off the lead before posting a three-over 75 to fall back to T12. Despite the strong overall finish, he'll look to move past that performance at the RBC Heritage. In eight trips to Harbour Town, Day has recorded four top-25 finishes along with two missed cuts. Success here typically favors precision over raw power, which should suit his game. He ranks 48th in driving accuracy, 10th around the green (+0.457), and 26th in putting (+0.482). However, he has struggled elsewhere, sitting 132nd on approach (-0.352) and is in just the 56th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that made up over 43% of approach shots here last year. Day relies heavily on his short game, but concerns with his iron play could hold him back at his $8,000 price tag on DraftKings.
