Emiliano Grillo Looks to Stay Hot at the Wyndham Championship
Emiliano Grillo has put together a very solid stretch over the past couple of months, recording five straight finishes of T31 or better. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he has struggled in three previous appearances, posting results of a missed cut, T59, and T44. Much of Grillo's recent success has been fueled by a hot putter, gaining an average of more than 2.9 strokes per tournament on the greens over that span. He also ranks 80th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.046 per round), 60th on approach (+0.209), and an impressive ninth in driving accuracy. If he continues to find fairways and the putter stays hot, Grillo has a great chance to return value at just $7,300 on DraftKings.

Tony Finau Needs a Big Week at the Wyndham Championship
Tony Finau continued his struggles at the Rocket Classic, losing more than 6.9 total strokes on Sunday and falling to T71. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he finished T44 last year. Finau has struggled throughout the bag this season, ranking 108th off the tee (-0.094 strokes per round), 119th on approach (-0.172), and 108th in putting (-0.154). The lone bright spot has been his short game, where he ranks 27th around the green (+0.256). Finau sits 89th in the FedExCup points race, meaning he will need something special to make the top 70 and sneak into the playoffs. Given what we have seen from Finau this year, it's hard to imagine it will happen.

Eric Cole Looking to Bounce Back at Sedgefield
Eric Cole struggled with his ball striking at the Rocket Classic, losing more than 5.2 strokes combined off the tee and on approach on his way to his sixth missed cut of the season. He now looks to bounce back at the Wyndham Championship, where he has finishes of T14, T7, and T74 in three appearances. Cole ranks among the worst drivers on Tour, sitting 151st in strokes gained off the tee (-0.542 per round). He has been much stronger elsewhere, ranking 84th on approach (+0.071), 11th around the green (+0.397), and fifth in putting (+0.598). Putting is often the separator at Sedgefield, and at $7,400 on DraftKings, Cole offers intriguing upside with the flat stick, but he will need to find more consistency off the tee.

Justin Thomas Looks to Find Ball-Striking Form in Greensboro
Coming off underwhelming performances across the pond, Justin Thomas needs to find some momentum this week at the Wyndham Championship to get inside the top 30 on the FedEx Cup points list. His play on and around the green has been serviceable all season, but the ball striking has fluctuated, which is the explanation for his time in the UK. Considering the shot-making required around Sedgefield, it seems like a place tailor-made for JT, but it's only resulted in one decent performance (T12 in 2023) in four career appearances. Still, the 33-year-old has as high a ceiling as anyone, considering his proficiency in his wedge game and short iron play. Part of which ranks second on the season in strokes gained around the green (0.532). For those looking for home run hitters in the regular season finale, Thomas makes reasonable sense.

Aaron Rai a Risky Play at Wyndham Championship With Large Upside
It's been a poor run for Aaron Rai lately, as the PGA Championship winner has missed his last two cuts, from both poor putting and underwhelming play from tee to green. He'll be making his fifth career start at this week's Wyndham Championship, where he won in 2024. The approach play, while normally the Englishman's bread and butter, has been in a slump over the past several weeks. A return to a familiar place full of good memories may be good for a formidable playoff push, especially since Sedgefield will provide all the opportunities needed to get a handle on the iron play. As far as DFS recommendations go, it's more of a decision between what he's known to be capable of and what he's shown recently. Because right now, the ceiling seems as high as the floor is low.

Brooks Koepka Needs a Strong Week at Wyndham Championship to Keep Season Alive
Sitting at 86th on the FedEx Cup list, Brooks Koepka needs a solid week in Greensboro to sneak his way inside the top 70. It's been strange seeing him waiting at tour events to get in as an alternate, but it could be the reality again in 2027 if he doesn't find some form come Thursday. The ball striking off the tee has stuttered in recent events, and the putter has never found its rhythm all season long. The one saving grace is that he still ranks highly in his approach play across the board. If the driver can return to a usable form, his eighth-ranked strokes gained on approach metric will have plenty of opportunities to flex its muscle. From there, the question is if he can make enough putts to capitalize. The 36-year-old screams boom-or-bust, which is likely the strategy he will employ, and DFS managers will have to weigh the risk vs. the potential reward. And no one would be surprised if Koepka found a spark this week.

Michael Kim Needs Good Form to Continue at Wyndham Championship
After a T10 finish in Minnesota two weeks ago, Michael Kim followed it up with a T8 this past Sunday in Detroit. The ball striking wasn't nearly as crisp, but the hot putter that added his name to the list of players to shoot a 59 returned to average 1.58 strokes gained putting at the Rocket Classic. He's making the start in the tour's regular season finale this week at the Wyndham Championship, where a lone T5 finish in 2023 is the one bright spot for what has been an otherwise poor venue for the 33-year-old. The inconsistent ball striking that lingers in his game has been his undoing around Sedgefield, but a strong putter can overcome many woes. It certainly did last week, and the thought of relying on that in a DFS format may be too much risk for most.

Ben James an Excellent DFS Play in Regular-Season Finale
In the limited run of events Ben James has played in down the back stretch of the season, he has shown enough talent to suggest he can succeed on the PGA Tour. He's coming off a T38 at the Rocket Classic, where he had climbed into the top 15 through 54 holes before a disappointing 73 on Sunday plummeted him down the leaderboard. From the small sample size we've seen from the 23-year-old, the couple of standout points of his game seem to be his accuracy and putting prowess, which will aid him well this week at Sedgefield for the Wyndham Championship. Over his last five starts, James has averaged 0.482 strokes gained on the greens and has found over 70% of his greens and fairways since his pro debut. He's got a ton of learning left to do, but he already checks enough boxes to be a worthy start this week.

Rasmus Hojgaard Looks to Retain Momentum at Wyndham Championship
It took until the penultimate event of the regular season for Rasmus Hojgaard to finish inside the top five this season, but it's better late than never. His week in Detroit felt mundane for the first couple of days before the 25-year-old went crazy in round three, shooting a nine-under 61. It was the third consecutive day that score had been posted by someone, but he was the only one who nearly won the tournament because of it. His length off the tee was a great advantage to have, but it was the nearly seven and a half strokes he gained on the greens that were the difference. He'll hope to continue that this week at Sedgefield CC, but the accuracy woes that plague him are more concerning here. The Dane is hitting less than 50% of fairways this season and ranks 102nd in strokes gained on approach (-0.046). That alone makes him a scary option, even with his bright week up north.

Ryan Gerard is Hoping to Keep Hot Putter Going at Wyndham Championship
After a T9 finish last week in Detroit, Ryan Gerard has now posted back to back top 10 performances, the fourth in his last seven starts. Mostly all of this recent success comes from a putter that can make putts in bunches, while not really doing anything to separate himself from tee to green. Even with how well he scored last week, he still ranked outside the top 40 in both strokes gained ball striking metrics. The good news is that he's one of the more accurate players from tee to green, which Sedgefield demands. The bad news is he's missed the cut here in two career appearances. Expect him to play all four days this time around, but he'll need to have better production with the iron play to be a real DFS asset.

Michael Brennan Looking to End Regular Season on High Note at Sedgefield
Last week in Detroit was better than the end result for Michael Brennan, who began Sunday one shot back of the lead and birdied two of his first three holes of the day to take it early. However, he would go on to shoot three over for the day after two doubles and a bogey on the card to finish T15. The iron play was fantastic for the 24-year-old, averaging 1.21 strokes gained on approach over the four rounds. He also ranked third in the field in strokes gained putting for the week (1.87). He's in the field this week at the Wyndham Championship, his first appearance in this event. After what he showed at a similar looking Detroit Golf Club, he should again be a decent DFS option. Even though his incredible length off the tee won't help him much around Sedgefield CC.

Ben Griffin Looks to Rebound Off the Tee At Wyndham Championship
Ben Griffin is normally solid off the driver's tee. The American golfer could not get out of his own way in Detroit, though, missing tee shots left and right. Griffin lost 1.27 shots and then missed the cut in Detroit as a result. Griffin showed he can drive the golf ball well enough and make putts at the Travelers Championship and John Deere Classic. The problem is his -17% driver accuracy. Griffin has done that twice before in 2026, and that was only a couple of months ago. Sticking approaches greater than 200 yards has been a sore spot (ranked 156th), but his 3.72 birdie average is only 102nd, which may be even worse. The key for Griffin will be keeping the ball in the fairway to set up easier putts.

Sahith Theegala Trying to Shake Off Rusty Form Since US Open
Sahith Theegala nearly finished inside the top 10 at the US Open (T11). The American golfer has largely struggled to put rounds together since then. Playing overseas at two higher birdie-friendly courses probably did not help. Since March, Theegala has been mostly average. Three of his four top-10 results came before the spring started. He was more accurate with his driver the past two tournaments, but his around-the-green game caused him to miss birdie chances. Greensboro is about getting opportunities and making the most of them. Theegala may be one to fade early as he tries to shake off a potentially poor start.

Maverick McNealy Tries to Continue Momentum From 3M Open
Maverick McNealy has one career win in 2024 at the RSM Classic. The American golfer has not finished better than 10th in any event this 2026 season. McNealy has gained an average of 0.82 strokes in the past two events when it comes to putting. Overall, he ranks 17th with 0.456 strokes gained putting. Ironically, McNealy had issues making putts in 2024 where he finished 45th and 13 strokes off the pace. Getting the ball on the green would help too as McNealy is 91st at 66.34%. McNealy delivered a 64 during the final round of the 3M Open but has been down more than up scoring wise in June and July. He might be one to avoid from a DFS perspective at Greensboro.

Johnny Keefer Needs More Opportunities to Thrive at Greensboro
Johnny Keefer has been putting better lately. The American golfer has gained strokes in each of his last four tournaments putting-wise. Keefer has not been able to find consistency in other metrics, though. Unfortunately, his putts per round are still above 30 at 30.08 (158th). Too many times, Keefer puts himself in a bad position with extra putts. At the Genesis Scottish Open, Keefer played well with several excellent approach shots. It was by far his best week of 2026, where he gained 3.15 strokes overall (T3). Keefer is only 25, so his play can be uneven. It might be worth fading Keefer at the Wyndham Championship.
