Michael Thorbjornsen has put together a strong first full season on the PGA Tour, recording four top-10 finishes and making 16 cuts in 24 starts. He's been solid lately, posting two finishes of T13 or better in his last four events. Thorbjornsen will look to carry this form into the World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal. Success here will hinge on total driving, long-iron approaches, and converting birdie opportunities on the greens. He ranks second on Tour in total driving, with 12th-ranked driving distance and 56th in driving accuracy, and sits 67th in strokes gained on approach (+0.155 per round). His short game is a relative weakness, as he ranks 115th in strokes gained putting (-0.084) and 133rd in three-putt avoidance, both important in what should be a birdie-heavy week. Still, his power, ball-striking, and recent form outweigh those concerns, making him a solid play even at $9,500 on DraftKings.

Davis Riley has had a roller-coaster 2025 season, highlighted by a runner-up finish at the PGA Championship and four total top-25s, but weighed down by 12 missed cuts in 27 events, including five of his last seven. He'll look to find some consistency at the World Wide Technology Championship, where he missed the cut in his only start at El Cardonal in 2023. Success here will hinge on total driving, long-iron approach shots, and converting birdie opportunities on the greens. Riley ranks 152nd in total driving and 166th in strokes gained on approach (-0.519 per round), but he is solid with the putter, sitting 53rd (+0.174 strokes gained per round). In what should be a birdie fest, his putter will need to carry most of the load, as he continues to struggle with ball striking. Valued appropriately at $6,500 on DraftKings, Riley is best left off fantasy lineups this week given his recent poor form.

It has been a disappointing 2025 season for Taylor Montgomery, as he's made just 11 cuts in 20 events. He has shown signs of improvement recently, posting four top-30 finishes in his last six starts. Montgomery will look to continue this trend at the World Wide Technology Championship, where his past results at El Cardonal include T64 and T31. Success here will hinge on total driving, long-iron approach shots, and converting birdie opportunities on the greens. He ranks 163rd in total driving and 144th in strokes gained on approach (-0.239 per round), but he is one of the best putters on Tour, ranking second in strokes gained putting (+0.899 per round). Montgomery also ranks second in birdie-or-better conversion, second in total putts per round, and 37th in three-putt avoidance. If his driver and irons cooperate even slightly, his elite putting can keep him competitive. At $7,100 on DraftKings, he represents a strong upside play for fantasy lineups.

Stephan Jaeger has put together a solid 2025 campaign, making 18 cuts and recording six top-25 finishes in 25 events. He'll look to build on that at the World Wide Technology Championship, where he finished T45 in 2023. Success at El Cardonal will depend on total driving, long-iron approach shots, and converting birdie opportunities on the greens. Jaeger ranks 150th in total driving but makes up for it with strong approach play, ranking 55th at +0.239 strokes per round, and solid putting, sitting 37th at +0.249 strokes per round. He's also impressive in birdie-or-better conversion, ranking 18th, and recorded a Tour-high 339 straight holes without a three-putt this year. At $7,800 on DraftKings, Jaeger sits in the sweet spot for value, offering upside at a price range that makes him an intriguing option for fantasy lineups.

Ben Griffin has put together an outstanding 2025 season, recording 11 top-10 finishes, including two runner-up results and two wins across 29 events. He'll look to keep that momentum going at the World Wide Technology Championship, where he's finished inside the top 25 in back-to-back appearances. Success at El Cardonal will hinge on total driving, long-iron approaches, and converting birdie opportunities on the greens. Griffin ranks fifth in total strokes gained (+1.223 per round), though sits just 93rd in total driving. He makes up for that with elite ball striking, ranking 24th in strokes gained on approach (+0.466), and with his putting, where he's 18th (+0.407). He also ranks 11th in bogey avoidance and 34th in three-putt avoidance, two key stats for staying competitive in what should be a birdie fest. At $10,500 on DraftKings, Griffin is the most expensive player on the slate but deserves consideration in all lineups given his recent form and tremendous upside.

Nick Dunlap has struggled to find consistency this season, making just 12 cuts in 24 starts and finishing inside the top 25 only three times. He'll look to turn things around at the World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal. Measuring 7,452 yards, El Cardonal rewards players who can drive it long and straight, hit long irons, and capitalize on birdie chances. Dunlap ranks 174th in total driving but has shown promise both on approach and on the greens, ranking 74th (+0.131 strokes per round) on approach and 72nd (+0.112) in putting. He also sits in the 72nd percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, likely to be a key range this week. Despite that, Dunlap has missed seven cuts in his last ten events, and at $6,400 on DraftKings, he's a risky play best left off fantasy lineups.

Wyndham Clark's 2025 season has been underwhelming, with just two top-10 finishes in 23 starts and four missed cuts along the way. His struggles continued at the Baycurrent Classic in October, where he finished T48. Now, he'll look to get back on track at the World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal. At 7,452 yards, this course sets up well for players who can drive it long and accurately, hit solid long irons, and convert their birdie looks on the greens. Clark currently ranks 105th in total driving, 150th in strokes gained on approach (-0.284 per round), and 61st in putting (+0.142). He does, however, rank in the 74th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that will likely be crucial this week. While his game showed some positive signs toward the end of the summer, at $8,900 on DraftKings, Clark remains a risky play until he finds steadier form.

Michael Brennan earned a sponsor exemption into the Bank of Utah Championship in October, marking his first career start on the PGA Tour, and he made the most of it. Brennan dominated the event, winning by four strokes and securing his PGA Tour membership in the process. He'll look to continue his incredible story at the World Wide Technology Championship, held at El Cardonal. The 7,452-yard par-72 layout features wide fairways that reward long hitters, allowing Brennan to fully showcase his power. In his victory, he averaged 319.4 yards off the tee with an 89.29% driving accuracy rate, gained +0.511 strokes on approach per round, and was exceptional on the greens, gaining +1.347 strokes putting with just one three-putt all week. Those strengths will be key once again in Mexico. Priced at $9,000 on DraftKings, Brennan presents an impressive profile with clear upside, but also carries plenty of risk, given it's only his second career start.

LIV Golf announced Tuesday that it will expand to a four-round, 72-hole format starting in 2026. The move is a notable shift from the 54-hole format that LIV has utilized since its inception four years ago, though it will continue to feature both team and individual competitions at its events. The format change appears to be aimed at bolstering LIV's bid for Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) points, which have so far been unavailable to its players. While the change doesn't guarantee that OWGR points will be awarded, it represents a key step toward aligning the often-criticized league's structure with established global standards.
