The best player on Earth is finally healthy and ready to remind everyone why he's +250 in a 156-man field. Scottie treats birdie putts like a kid treats Halloween candy—just keeps grabbing more. His T11 and T17 here weren't exactly dominant, but that was "figuring it out" Scottie. This is "I won 9 times in 14 months" Scottie. Different animal.

From "Ben who?" to OWGR #8 faster than you can say "Korn Ferry success story." That T7 last year wasn't a fluke—he's been rock solid at PGA West with T9 in '24 after a meh T32 in '23. The trajectory is screaming upward and he's playing with house money confidence right now.

Sammy almost broke through here with a T3 in '23 before the golf gods gave him a reality check (MC in '24, T22 in '25). But here's the thing—when Burns is cooking, he can go nuclear in birdie-fests like this. The ceiling is podium-level. The floor is... well, let's not talk about '24.

The Swedish sensation nearly won this thing in '24 (T2) before settling for a solid T12 last year. At 25, Ludvig swings like he's trying to hurt the ball's feelings. This desert track rewards elite ball-strikers, and Aberg hits it so pure you'd think the ball owes him money. The breakthrough feels imminent.

Mr. Consistency has gone T6, T14, T8 here the last three years—the man treats top-15s like a 9-to-5 job. At OWGR #5, Henley is criminally underrated in a field full of name brands. He doesn't wow you with highlights, he just quietly posts numbers that make you go "wait, he's in the mix again?"

The human rain delay has quietly gone T15, T7, T5 here—solid and improving. But Patty Ice didn't earn that nickname by accident. When the pressure cranks up on Sunday and everyone else is sweating, Cantlay looks like he's deciding what to order for dinner. His T5 in '25 shows he's figured this place out. Just needs the putter to cooperate.

The fiery Scot is riding high after a T4 at Sony last week and the form is absolutely sizzling. Improved from T28 in '24 to T15 in '25 here—Bob Mac learns courses like most people learn Netflix passwords. At OWGR #6, he's got more game than his odds suggest. Plus that Scottish grit plays well when the desert wind kicks up.

The English precision machine with a U.S. Open trophy on the shelf. Fitz went T11 in '24 then slipped to T19 last year, but don't let that fool you—he's still one of the best iron players breathing. If this becomes a ball-striking contest (spoiler: it often does in the desert), that surgical wedge game could carve up these greens.

This English lad absolutely loves PGA West—T18 in '23, then a scorching T3 in '24 before cooling to T31 last year. That T3 wasn't an accident; Hall has the kind of aggressive game that thrives in shootouts. Recent form (T27 at Sony) isn't screaming, but course horses gonna course horse.

THE DEFENDING CHAMP. Sepp went T19, T24, then WIN—that's called figuring out a golf course, folks. The Austrian bomber is back to defend his title and coming off a solid T12 at Sony. He knows every break, every wind pattern, every grain of sand at PGA West. Good luck taking the crown from a guy who already owns the blueprint.

The big Canadian is an AMEX virgin with no course history to speak of, but that might actually help—no bad memories to shake off. Pendrith bombs it off the tee like he's personally offended by the fairway, and length plays at PGA West. T23 at Sony says the game is there. Could be a sneaky debut.

Big Harris has the look of a guy who could win literally any week—and then sometimes looks like he's playing with rental clubs. History here is decent (MC, T20, T43) but OWGR #11 reminds you this dude has serious firepower. At +4500, you're betting on the version that shows up with his A-game, not the one still finding his coffee.

One-half of the Danish twin sensation, Rasmus is making his mark stateside with zero AMEX history but plenty of European Tour pedigree. The Hojgaards play golf like they're speed-running it—aggressive, fearless, occasionally chaotic. No desert data means we're flying blind, but this kid can absolutely go low when the vibes are right.

The Swedish metronome has been lurking around the top of leaderboards for what feels like a decade. T25 here in 2024 plus T15 at Sony and T8 at Hero World Challenge says the 42-year-old isn't slowing down. Noren plays boring-beautiful golf—fairways, greens, two-putts, repeat. Death by a thousand paper cuts to the field.

Kurt "The Hurt" Kitayama brings major vibes to a non-major event. No AMEX history on file, but this guy won Bay Hill and contended at the PGA Championship—he knows how to handle pressure-packed Sundays. At +4500 with a T12 at Sony in his pocket, he's a powder keg waiting for a spark.

Si Woo is the walking embodiment of "anything can happen." Dude goes T11, T16, T9 here and you're like "okay, solid"—then remember this is the guy who won The Players at age 21. When his swing clicks, there's literally no shot he won't attempt. High-risk, high-reward, and lowkey obsessed with PGA West apparently.

Rickie! The people's champion is desperately trying to recapture that 2015-2019 magic. History here shows consistency (T54, MC, T21), and we've all seen what happens when Rickie gets hot—the flat brims sell out nationwide. At +5000, you're betting on vibes and miracles. But hey, weirder things have happened.

Stanford grad, former U.S. Amateur finalist, and fresh-faced Tour rookie. Zero AMEX history because, well, he was probably studying for finals during past editions. Thorbjornsen has that "too talented not to break through eventually" energy. This week? Who knows. But the upside is tantalizing if you like betting on potential.

Another Georgia boy with a bomber mentality and zero fear. T21 here in 2024 after 2nd place in 2023 shows he knows PGA West. Thompson's got the type of game that could torch a birdie-fest. That T65 at Sony is concerning, but the kid's got raw horsepower. Sometimes that's enough.

The mullet-rocking Aussie with the silky swing and the "I might go nuclear at any moment" energy. That T8 in '24 showed Min Woo can absolutely contend here before slipping to T29 last year. Coming off a T14 at Sony and looking frisky. Australia's been producing golfers like a factory lately, and Min Woo might be the wildest card in the deck.

Olympic gold medalist. U.S. Open champ. Hall of Fame-level resume. And at OWGR #10, Rosie is somehow still getting disrespected at +6000. No AMEX history on file, but this is a guy who's literally won everything worth winning. If the putting cooperates (big if these days), he's got the complete game to torch this place.

Remember when J-Day was the undisputed best player on planet Earth? The back might creak more now, but the 13-time Tour winner knows how to close. His T3 in 2025 shows he's figured out PGA West—contender alert. At +6000, you're betting on a resurrection narrative. And those are the best stories.

The 23-year-old lefty with the butter swing and the two Tour wins already on his mantle. No AMEX data but who cares—Akshay has that "different breed" aura about him. He's either going super low or melting down on the back nine. There is no in-between with this kid. Fortune favors the bold, they say.

The most handsome man in professional golf is 44 years old and still swinging it like a dream. No AMEX history to lean on, but Adam Scott has a Masters jacket and 14 Tour wins—the man knows how to find the winner's circle. At +6000, you're betting that Father Time hasn't caught up to the prettiest swing in golf.

J.T. plays golf the way librarians organize books—methodical, quiet, and devastatingly effective. That T13 in '24 was sandwiched between a T44 and T30, so the consistency isn't there, but when Poston gets hot he basically doesn't make bogeys. In a birdie-fest, sometimes zero mistakes is all you need.

The U.S. Open champion is bizarrely available at +7000 with zero AMEX history. Wyndham is the definition of streaky—when he's on, he's shooting 62 on Sunday at the Open. When he's off, well... let's not dwell. That T34 at Sony isn't inspiring, but major winners have a way of showing up when least expected.

DB is the comeback kid who refuses to stay down. After injuries nearly derailed his career, he's clawing back and that T23 at Sony plus T8 at Hero shows life in the old dawg yet. T39 here in 2024 shows he knows PGA West. Berger has four Tour wins and that cocky swagger that makes you think he believes he's going to win every week.

Filipino-American phenom who just grabbed 2nd at the BoU Championship and is riding serious momentum. Zero AMEX history but Rico's game translates anywhere—solid ball-striking, fearless putting. At +7000 for a guy trending this hard? That's the kind of line that looks silly in hindsight.

The Canadian with one of the most underrated short games on Tour. Nick went T35, T6, T20 here—classic "figured it out then kinda forgot" trajectory. That T6 in '24 proves the ceiling exists though. Plus he won the Phoenix Open in a playoff, so the man knows how to close. Just needs to find that form again.

Taiwan's finest is trying to establish himself on Tour, and no AMEX history means this is pure projection. Recent form (MC at Sony, MC at RSM) is rough, but Kevin Yu has flashed serious upside before. At +7000, you're hoping he remembers how to make cuts—and then goes nuclear from there.

Big Keith bombs it off the tee like he's trying to send the ball into next week. T9 finish here in 2024 shows the length advantage at PGA West is real. That T23 at RSM showed signs of life after a brutal MC at Houston. At +7500, you're betting on the driver staying in the fairway for 72 holes. Big if.

Try saying "Bezuidenhout" three times fast after a few beers. The South African finished 2nd here in 2024 and has been quietly excellent lately (T15 at Sony, T8 at Hero) with that butter-smooth tempo. He's won 8 times internationally. This guy knows how to close when the nerves hit.

Grandson of Masters champ Charles Coody, so the bloodlines are immaculate. No AMEX data and recent form is MIA, but Pierceson has that pedigree that makes you believe a breakout is coming. At +7500 you're buying potential and a really cool last name.

If you watched Max at the U.S. Open at Pinehurst, you know this kid has ice in his veins. His T7 at the 2025 AMEX proves he can handle PGA West after T56 in 2024. OWGR #33 says he's been doing something right. The former Duke star plays methodical, intelligent golf that can sneak up on you. Don't let the +7500 fool you—this is a sneaky good number.

The putting wizard from D.C. has gone T9, T14, T11 at this event—consistently knocking on the door without quite kicking it down. Denny makes more putts from inside 10 feet than anyone has a right to. In a week where birdies come in bunches, having the best flatstick in the field is basically a cheat code.

Willy Z is the best player without a Tour win, and it's honestly baffling at this point. Three major runner-ups (THREE!) and yet no trophy. His T12 here in 2025 shows he can handle PGA West, plus T8 at RSM and T21 at Sony shows he's healthy and hunting. At +8000, you're betting this is finally the week the narrative flips.

The Illinois product has been grinding his way up the ranks and that OWGR #30 is legit. Zero AMEX track record makes this a dart throw, but Gerard has shown flashes of brilliance and plays fearless golf. At +8000, you're betting on upside and hoping the form shows up this week.

Duke guy with a quiet game and even quieter social media presence. His solo 11th at the 2025 AMEX proves he can go low at PGA West—sometimes the guys who fly under the radar pop at the most unexpected times. At +9000, you're hoping Alex Smalley lives up to his surname... small price, big return.

Former Clemson star who's trying to translate college dominance to Tour success. No AMEX history and the recent form is sparse, but Bridgeman has shown he can compete with anyone when the stars align. At +10000, this is full-on lottery ticket territory. Buy it, forget about it, and check Sunday evening.

Texas Tech product sitting at OWGR #50 with zero AMEX experience. Sam plays that grinding, never-give-up golf that can wear you out over 72 holes. Recent form is quiet, but the ranking says he's been doing something right. At 100-1, you're basically hoping he goes supernova out of nowhere.

The Cal alum had a moment here with T16 in '23, then promptly forgot how to make cuts (MC in '24, T44 in '25). But OWGR #38 says there's real game in there somewhere. At 100-1, you need 2023 Michael Kim to show up and hope he brought his A-game to the desert this time.

The funniest man on golf Twitter is going through a bit of a slump—T13 in '23, then MC, then T27. But Max Homa at OWGR #21 and +10000 is the kind of disrespect that makes you want to bet him out of spite. When the confidence returns, this guy can absolutely light up a scoreboard. Plus the content will be elite either way.

The fiery Argentine with the championship pedigree (2015 Frys.com winner, remember that?) is still grinding out here. No AMEX history and recent form (T34 at Sony, T18 at RSM) is nothing to write home about. At +11000, Emiliano needs everything to click simultaneously. It happens sometimes!

PGA Tour rookie Johnny Keefer just made his debut at Sony and OWGR #46 says the talent is very much real. Zero AMEX history obviously, but rookies have been known to win before they realize how hard it's supposed to be. Fresh eyes, no bad memories—sometimes ignorance is bliss. And profitable.

China's brightest golf hope has all the tools—elite ball striking, fearless attitude, and experience on the biggest stages. T15 at Sony and T8 at Hero shows he's finding form. No AMEX history, but at 120-1, Li is the kind of international sleeper who could wake up very loud on Sunday.

German engineering meets desert golf. Matthias has that methodical Euro Tour game that travels well, but zero AMEX history and quiet recent form makes this a true dart throw. At 120-1, you're betting on German precision showing up at exactly the right moment. Stranger things have happened.

Finland's gift to professional golf is one of those guys who could legitimately win any week. T23 at Sony and 12th at Hero shows solid form, and OWGR #39 ain't nothing to sneeze at. No AMEX track record but Sami swings it like he's trying to stay warm in Helsinki. Fearless.

The diminutive lefty who bodied everyone at the 2023 Open Championship when conditions got spicy. No AMEX history, but Brian Harman knows how to get it done—T23 at Sony, 14th at Hero, and OWGR #36. At 130-1, you're betting the scrappy underdog shows up and grinds everyone into dust.

The passionate Englishman who wears his emotions on his sleeve (and occasionally his clubs). No AMEX history, but Wallace has been grinding on both Tours trying to find that breakthrough form. When his head and his game align, he can absolutely compete. When they don't... well, fireworks.

English journeyman who's been around the world chasing this dream. No AMEX history and the recent form is quiet, but at 140-1, John Parry is full lottery ticket mode. Sometimes you throw darts at a board and one of them lands. Could be this week. Probably not. But could be.

Venezuela's lone representative on Tour is a three-time PGA winner who knows how to close on Sunday. No AMEX history and recent form (T38 at Sony, T52 at RSM) is rough, but Vegas has been here before and knows how to turn it around. The experience is real, even if the results lately aren't.

Another Swede in the field because apparently they're manufacturing golfers over there. Jesper has zero AMEX history and the recent form is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. At 140-1, you're basically guessing. But Swedish golfers have been known to pop off randomly, so there's that.

Vince Whaley doesn’t have much AMEX resume in our 2023–2025 snapshot—so this is a timing play. AMEX history: no finish data in our 2023–2025 snapshot. With less local resume to lean on, this one is more about timing than history. Recent form: limited signal in the current cache. The winning version is the one that converts chances in bunches—because everyone will have chances here.

The breakout star of the fall who rattled off a win at the Black Desert Championship. T17 at Sony shows he's not a one-hit wonder. Matt has that "I just discovered how good I am" energy that's dangerous. No AMEX history, but with OWGR #58 and riding momentum, he's one of the more interesting longshots in the field.

Sahith "The People's Champ Jr." Theegala is universally beloved for playing fearless, aggressive golf that makes you want to root for him. No AMEX history, but this guy was a 2-time college player of the year and has come tantalizingly close to winning multiple times on Tour. At 140-1, you're betting on chaos and talent colliding.

Sneaky OWGR #32 with a T16 at Sony says the form is trending right. Andrew plays that quiet, consistent golf that racks up checks without anyone noticing. No AMEX data, but at 150-1 you're getting a guy who clearly belongs out here. Sometimes the best bets are the ones nobody's talking about.

The 2019 U.S. Open champ is still fighting back from a brain tumor surgery that would've retired most people. Gary's recent form (MC at Sony) is rough, but the man has shown superhuman resilience. No AMEX history, but betting on Woodland is betting on heart—and this guy has plenty of it.

The Canadian scrambling machine with the best short game you've never heard of. Mack's been playing well (T21 at Sony, T15 at RSM) and knows how to get up-and-down from places that would make most players cry. No AMEX history, but at 160-1, you're getting a guy who can manufacture birdies out of thin air.

The pride of Waterford, Ireland has that scrappy, never-quit attitude that endears him to golf fans everywhere. T23 at Sony shows decent form, and Seamus knows how to grind out results when others wilt. No AMEX track record but the Irishman has surprised before and he'll surprise again.

Hold up—this kid just went T2 at Sony with a Sunday 64 that had everyone's jaw on the floor. Nick Dunlap won the AMEX AS AN AMATEUR in 2024 (yes, really) and followed with T34 in 2025 as a pro. At 170-1?! The books are either asleep or hoping you don't remember he literally won this event before.

The most intense man on Tour who plays like every shot is personal. Billy has 7 wins including a FedEx Cup, so the resume is legit.
