Scottie Scheffler is the most dominant favorite we've modeled all season at the Memorial, with an 18.2% win probability, elite +2.92 SG Total, and back-to-back wins at Muirfield Village — yet his +449 odds still represent massive value. Below the chalk, Russell Henley (+2156) profiles as the week's best mid-tier play with the field's strongest course fit adjustment (+0.371) and a T5 finish here in 2025, while Si Woo Kim (+2405) combines the 7th-best SG Total (+1.71) with the second-highest course fit score (+0.293) and a 4th-place finish in 2023. This is a week to trust the data: ball-striking and course history matter enormously at Jack's Place, and the model identifies clear edges across the board.
Scheffler Is a Historic Lock
Scottie Scheffler's 18.2% model win probability represents the largest edge in the field — an 18-point gap over his implied odds probability. He ranks #1 in SG Total (+2.92), #1 in SG Approach (+1.14), #4 in SG Putting (+0.53), and has finishes of 1st, 1st, and 3rd in his last three Memorial starts. At +449, he's a must-play.
Scottie Scheffler
Henley's Course Fit Is Unmatched
Russell Henley carries the highest course fit adjustment in the field at +0.371 strokes, paired with a solid +1.58 SG Total and a T5 at the 2025 Memorial. Our model gives him a 4.4% win probability at +2156 odds — that's roughly 2x the value the books are offering, making him the best mid-range play of the week.
Russell Henley
Si Woo Kim: Sneaky Elite Profile
Si Woo Kim's +0.293 course fit score is second only to Henley's, and his 4.0% model win probability at +2405 offers substantial edge. He finished 4th here in 2023 and T15 in 2024, and his +1.71 SG Total ranks 7th in the entire field. He's a premier each-way play.
Si Woo Kim
Cameron Young's Ball-Striking Breakout
Cameron Young ranks 3rd in the field with a +2.09 SG Total and our model gives him a 4.3% win probability — the 5th-highest in the field. At +2201, the books are significantly undervaluing his elite tee-to-green game. The only concern is inconsistent course history (T25, T50, MC), but the raw talent is undeniable.
Cameron Young
Fitzpatrick Thrives at Muirfield Village
Matt Fitzpatrick has finishes of T31, T5, and T9 in his last three Memorial appearances, and his +0.206 course fit score ranks among the top tier. With the 5th-best SG Approach in the field (+0.76) and a +1.82 SG Total, he's a premium ball-striker at a premium ball-striker's course. The +2722 offers genuine upside.
Matt Fitzpatrick
Ben Griffin: Best Longshot in Field
At +5330, Ben Griffin leads all longshots with a 21.2% top-10 probability — the highest among players priced +5000 or longer. He ranks 2nd in the entire field in SG Putting (+0.61) and carries a +1.41 SG Total. For top-10 and top-20 markets, he's the week's sharpest longshot play.
Ben Griffin
Matsuyama Offers Hidden Value at 65/1
Hideki Matsuyama at +6530 carries an 18.0% top-10 probability and has historically performed well on Jack Nicklaus designs that demand precision iron play. His +1.12 SG Total is suppressed by recent inconsistency, but the upside at this price makes him a worthy flier in top-10 and top-20 markets.
Hideki Matsuyama
Schauffele Slightly Underpriced at 24/1
Xander Schauffele ranks 4th in SG Approach (+0.78) and 5th in SG Total (+1.95), yet his +2427 odds imply just a ~4% chance — right in line with our 4.0% model probability. He's fairly priced rather than a screaming value, but his T8 in 2024 and elite ball-striking keep him in the contender tier.
Xander Schauffele
Min Woo Lee at 54/1 Is Intriguing
Min Woo Lee posts a +1.59 SG Total — 9th in the field — at +5466 odds, with an 18.8% top-10 probability. His overall game profile ranks above several players priced 20-30% shorter. He's a strong each-way candidate in a field where mid-tier talent is being overlooked.
Min Woo Lee
Fade Matt Kuchar Despite Course History
Matt Kuchar tops the course history adjustment leaderboard at +0.187 strokes, but at +76823 odds, the books rightfully view his current game as non-competitive. Past results at Muirfield Village cannot overcome what is clearly a significant decline in overall strokes gained performance. Avoid despite the nostalgia.

Scottie Scheffler
USA - OWGR #1
FAVORITE
The defending champ won here in 2024 AND 2025, and he's the world #1 carrying a +2.92 SG Total into a course that rewards exactly his skill set. Five straight top-14s including a runner-up at the Masters and a solo 3rd at Byron Nelson two weeks ago — the form is absurd. The model gives him 18.2% to win and 62.6% top-10, and at +449 that's actually live value on a guy with back-to-back titles at Muirfield. Lock him in.

Ludvig Aberg
SWE - OWGR #15
CONTENDER
Six consecutive top-20s including a T4 at the PGA and a T5 at THE PLAYERS — Aberg has quietly become one of the steadiest names in golf. The +0.82 SG Approach and +0.73 off the tee fit a course where ball-striking travels, and his T5 here in 2024 says the venue clicks. Model has him at 5.66% to win and 35.8% top-10, which makes +1667 and +179 top-10 the cleanest play on the board outside Scheffler.

Rory McIlroy
NIR - OWGR #2
CONTENDER
Masters champion in April, T7 at the PGA, and the #2 player in the world — yet the course fit adjustment here is actually negative (-0.033) and his Muirfield history is pedestrian (T15, T7, no 2025 finish). The +2.20 SG Total is real, but Rory has never truly clicked here the way he does at other Nicklaus-adjacent venues. At +1704 he's priced as a co-second favorite without the course resume to back it. Pass at the win number, lean top-10 at +183 only.

Russell Henley

CONTENDER
Coming off a win at Colonial last week and the course fit adjustment (+0.371) is the highest among this entire group. Add a T5 here in 2025 and a T3 at the Masters, and the profile is screaming. The +0.67 SG Approach and elite around-the-green number (+0.29) are exactly what Muirfield demands, and the model's 4.43% win equity is underpriced at +2156. He's the best non-Scheffler bet on the board.

CONTENDER
Two wins already this season (THE PLAYERS and Miami) and OWGR #3, but the Muirfield history is genuinely ugly — T25, T50, MC — and the course history adjustment is -0.034. The recent form has also cooled: MC at Byron Nelson, T67 at Myrtle Beach, T26 at the PGA. The +2.09 SG Total profile says contender, but the venue and a flatlining trend say fade at +2201. Skip.

Si Woo Kim

Runner-up at Byron Nelson two weeks ago and a 4th-place finish here in 2023 — Si Woo's Muirfield resume is sneaky strong. The +0.293 course fit adjustment is third-best in this group, and recent results include a 3rd at Hilton Head and a T4 at Miami. At +2405 with a 3.99% model win rate and 32.2% top-10, this is one of the better mid-range tickets in the field. Top-10 at +211 is the play.

Xander Schauffele
USA - OWGR #10
CONTENDER
The Muirfield record is consistent without being thrilling — T8, T24, T25 across three starts — and the recent form is solid if unspectacular (T7 PGA, T9 Masters, 3rd at PLAYERS). The +1.95 SG Total and +0.78 approach number are legit, but the course fit adjustment is just +0.05, suggesting this isn't a venue that amplifies his edges. At +2427 with 3.96% model win equity, he's fairly priced rather than mispriced. Better spots coming.

Three wins in his last seven starts — Valspar, RBC Heritage, and the Zurich — plus a runner-up at THE PLAYERS. That's the hottest stretch of anyone outside Scheffler. The +0.42 SG Around the Green leads this group and pairs perfectly with Muirfield's penal short-game test, and his T5/T9 history here confirms the fit. At +2722 with the model giving him 3.54% to win, the price has lagged behind the form. Hammer the top-10 at +239.

Six straight made cuts with five top-15s including T7 Valspar and T8 RBC Heritage, and the Muirfield resume — T12 in 2025, T30 in 2023 — says he belongs even with the 2024 missed cut. The +0.70 SG Approach and +0.41 OTT fit a ball-strikers' test, and the model's 24.4% top-10 number is the real signal. At +4047, this is the right price for a guy whose ceiling is a win and whose floor is a check.

J.J. Spaun

CONTENDER
The Valero Texas Open win in April and a T6 at Colonial last week confirm Spaun is playing the best golf of his career, and OWGR #9 is no longer a fluke. The +0.186 course fit adjustment is the strongest in this group, driven by +0.86 SG Approach that travels anywhere. The Muirfield history is ugly (MC in 2025, T30 in 2023), but at +4242 with a 22.5% top-10 projection, you're paying for the form, not the past.

T4 at the PGA Championship and a runner-up at the Truist in May — the form is real, and the +0.52 SG Approach pairs with +0.33 around the green for a complete profile. Muirfield has historically frustrated him (T31, T33, MC), and the course history adjustment of -0.043 reflects that. Still, at +4344 with 22.0% top-10 odds, you're buying a two-time major champ trending up. Worth a sprinkle, not a hammer.

The +0.227 course fit adjustment is the highest in this entire group, and the underlying numbers — +1.62 SG Total, +0.56 OTT, +0.56 Approach — explain why. T16 here in 2025 and T20 in 2024 say Muirfield suits the eye, and the T5 at Truist three weeks ago confirms the form. The PGA missed cut is a blip; at +4519 with a 22.9% top-10 number, this is the best value in the tier.

Ben Griffin

VALUE
Runner-up at Muirfield in 2025 — that's the headline, and it's backed by a T3 at Colonial last week and a 3rd at Miami in April. The putter is the engine (+0.61 SG Putting) on greens that demand exactly that, and OWGR #14 is no accident. The +5330 price feels lazy given the course history, and 21.2% top-10 implied is generous for a guy who already finished second here. Plays like an overlay.

VALUE
Four straight top-20s including T18 at the PGA and T14 at Truist, and the +1.59 SG Total ranks near the top of this group. The problem is Muirfield itself — T49 in 2025 and an MC in 2023 give him a -0.018 course history adjustment, and the +0.014 fit number is essentially neutral. At +5466 with only an 18.8% top-10, you're paying for the talent without any course-specific edge. Pass at the win number.

Alex Smalley

VALUE
Runner-up at the PGA Championship, T3 at Colonial, T2 at Zurich, T7 at Miami — Smalley has been everywhere on leaderboards the last two months and OWGR #38 is climbing fast. The +0.55 SG Approach and +0.30 putting fit Muirfield's demands, and the +0.134 course fit adjustment confirms the model agrees. The lone Muirfield start was an MC in 2023, but that's stale data on a different player. At +6086, this is the longshot with an actual win path.

Hideki Matsuyama
JPN - OWGR #20
VALUE
Three straight Muirfield finishes of 38, T8, and T16 give him a positive course history adjustment, and the +0.63 SG Approach is exactly the skill this course rewards. The recent form is tepid — T13 at Colonial is the best result in his last seven starts — and the off-the-tee number (-0.05) is a concern on a 7,533-yard test. At +6530 with 1.51% win equity, the top-10 ticket at +455 is the smarter angle than backing the outright.

VALUE
OWGR #11 with two missed cuts in two Memorial starts — that's the tension here. The ball-striking profile is legit (+1.47 SG Total, +0.61 OTT) and the form is solid with T10 at the PGA and T14 at the Truist, but the -0.089 course fit adjustment and 0-for-2 history at Muirfield say this track doesn't suit him. At +7262, you're paying for the ranking, not the fit. Pass on the win bet, lean toward a top-10 sprinkle at +534.

T7 in 2025 and T5 in 2023 at Muirfield — Spieth's course history here is genuinely good, and the +0.037 history adjustment confirms it. The +0.4 SG Approach has rounded into shape with five top-20s in his last seven including T12 at the Masters and T18 at the PGA. At +7317 with a 16.9% top-10 number, the place markets are where the value sits, not the outright. Top-20 at +33.8% implied is the cleanest bet.

Runner-up at the Valero and 4th at THE PLAYERS earlier this spring, but the recent stretch is ugly: MC at the PGA, T60 at Truist, T42 at Colonial. The +0.107 course fit adjustment is encouraging and the +0.49 SG Putting travels, but +0.06 SG Approach won't cut it on a ball-strikers' track like Muirfield. At +7505 with form trending the wrong way, this is a fade for the outright — wait for him to flash iron play again before backing him.

Course history that screams: 3rd in 2025, T5 in 2024, T16 in 2023. The +0.065 history adjustment and +0.126 fit number are both top-tier in this group, and the +0.68 SG Approach is exactly the skill Muirfield rewards. The MC at the PGA and T63 at Truist are concerning, but the T4 at Miami and T8 at THE PLAYERS show the ceiling is intact. At +7954 with this course track record, the outright price is genuinely fair — worth a half-unit.

The +0.136 course fit adjustment is the highest of this group, and Fowler's recent run — T2 at the Truist, T9 at Miami, T8 at Heritage — proves the game has actually returned. T7 here in 2025 and T9 in 2023 add a +0.053 history bump. The MC at Colonial is a blip; the underlying profile (+0.31 SG Approach, +0.25 SG Putting) fits Muirfield's demands. At +8019, this is the most mispriced longshot on the board for a top-10 dart.

Three straight Memorial cashes (T12, T15, T16) without ever truly threatening — that's the Burns profile in a sentence.

Best pure iron play in this group — +0.73 SG Approach paired with +0.61 OTT is a contender's tee-to-green profile, and the recent run (T10 PGA, T19 Truist, T9 Miami, T8 Heritage) confirms he's playing the best golf of anyone priced this long. The catch: two career missed cuts at Muirfield and a -0.052 history adjustment. At +8855 the ball-striking justifies a small outright stab, but the place markets at +605 for top-10 are the smarter play given the course history red flag.

Won the Houston Open in March and just posted T6 at Colonial — Woodland's quietly stacked together a real season at age 40. The +0.6 SG OTT is elite for this track and the +0.055 history adjustment from his T24 in 2023 helps, but -0.24 SG Around the Green is a problem on Muirfield's contoured complexes. At +9231 with a 14.2% top-10 number, he's priced about right. No edge on the outright, but a top-20 ticket at +29.6% has some meat.

T5 here in 2025 is the only Memorial result on his card, but it matters — he hung with the field at a course that punishes guys who don't belong. Seven straight made cuts since THE PLAYERS (T18 at the PGA the latest), and the +0.50 SG Putting is the best on his ledger. At +9379 with a 14% top-10 model number, he's a sensible top-10 play more than a win ticket.

11th at the Masters and T6 in Houston show the ceiling, and the +1.29 SG Total is genuinely a contender-tier number across the board.

T12 at Muirfield in 2025 and T4 at Harbour Town in April are the two data points that matter, and the +0.126 course fit adjustment supports the iron-and-putter profile this place demands.

T7 at the Memorial last year is the anchor — Bradley has cashed all three of his recent starts here (T7, T43, T30) and the Ryder Cup captain shows up for events with prestige attached.

The +12095 number is fair, but with a 0.82% model win probability there's no real edge — top-20 (27%) is the spot.

Three straight made cuts at Muirfield (T39-T22-T52) plus a top-25 OWGR ranking and the Memorial-friendly +0.203 course fit adjustment make Noren a sneaky top-20 play at +12271. The +0.43 SG Putting is the surprise piece — usually it's the iron play carrying him — and that flatstick uptick is what pushed the T7 in Miami last month.

Ryan Gerard
USA - OWGR #36
VALUE
The +0.59 SG Approach is genuinely elite and it's why he just finished T10 at Colonial coming in. Gerard's only Muirfield trip produced a T23 in 2025, which on this course translates better than most realize — guys who solve it once tend to solve it again. At +12322 the outright is a pass, but 26.9% to crack the top 20 on a ball-strikers' track with his iron profile is a fair Top 20 ticket.

Wyndham Clark
USA - OWGR #45
VALUE
Won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson three weeks ago, then missed the cut at the PGA — that's Clark in a nutshell, and it's why +12426 is both tempting and terrifying. The T12 here in 2023 is the lone bright spot in his Memorial history (MC in '24, 56th in '25), and the course fit adjustment of +0.002 says this isn't really his place. The recent win inflates the price more than the profile deserves; fade the outright, consider a Top 10 at +733 if you trust the post-win bounce.

Akshay Bhatia
USA - OWGR #26
VALUE
Two straight T16-or-better finishes at Muirfield (T16 in '25, T22 in '24) on a course that should not fit a left-handed guy who loses strokes off the tee (-0.17 SG OTT). The +0.51 SG Putting is doing most of the heavy lifting, and on these severely contoured bentgrass greens, that's actually the skill that travels. At +12943 with an 11.7% top-10 number, he's a defensible top-20 dart but the OTT deficit caps the ceiling.

Shane Lowry
IRL - OWGR #41
VALUE
The +0.54 SG Approach and +0.22 SG OTT combo is exactly the Muirfield blueprint, and Lowry has three straight made cuts here (T16-49-T23) to back it up. Problem: the putter is barely above neutral at +0.15 and his 2026 has been a parade of T23-to-T44 finishes with zero top-10s since the calendar flipped. At +13444 he's priced like the ball-striking grinder he is — fairly. A small top-10 sprinkle at +726 is the only sensible angle.

Ryo Hisatsune
JPN - OWGR #59
VALUE
Zero Muirfield reps and a +0.114 course fit adjustment built almost entirely on the +0.44 SG OTT and +0.42 SG Approach numbers — the iron-and-driver combo this place demands. The T13 at PLAYERS and T8 at Valero in March hint at a ceiling, but the 66th at Colonial last week is a real concern heading into a tougher test. At +14499 with no course history to lean on, this is a blind dart that probably needs to stay in the bag.

VALUE
Won the Truist two weeks ago and followed it with a T44 at the PGA — and now he gets a course he's never seen with a slightly negative -0.008 fit adjustment. The +0.6 SG OTT leads this group and the +1.02 SG Total is the best number among these longshots, but Muirfield has historically been brutal on first-timers regardless of form. At +14715 the price reflects the win bounce more than the course math; the 23.3% top-20 is the only number worth a ticket.

Solo 7th at Harbour Town in April and a T26 at the PGA say the comeback story is real, and the +0.48 SG Approach is the kind of number that ages well at Muirfield. The lone course rep was a T39 in 2025 — fine, not predictive — and the -0.06 putting mark on these greens is the obvious ceiling cap. At +15689 with a 23.6% top-20 probability, a small top-20 ticket is the only defensible play; the outright is a lottery scratcher.

A solo 4th at Muirfield last year is the headline, and it's backed by a T27 in '24 — Taylor has quietly figured this place out despite an MC in '23. The +0.44 SG Approach fits the test, and his recent T9-T14-T26 run through Miami, Truist, and the PGA shows the game is sharpening. At +15900 with an 11.1% top-10 number, the win equity is thin but he's a legitimate top-20 dart with course-proven upside.

Pure ball-striker, mediocre everywhere else, and the +0.181 course fit adjustment says Muirfield should reward exactly what he does — +0.53 SG Approach, +0.26 OTT, and -0.04 putting that has capped his ceiling for years. Course history is fine not great (T25, T20, MC), and the recent form (T55-T31-T30) is uninspiring. At +15900 he's a perfectly fine top-20 play (23.7%) but the 0.62% model win number tells you not to chase the outright.

Solo 3rd at Colonial last week capped a stretch of T3-T9-T10 in his last four starts, and now he walks into Muirfield with zero course reps and a +0.29 SG Putting number that's been carrying him. The +0.36 SG Approach plays, but the +0.049 course fit adjustment is tepid and this is a meaningful jump in field strength. At +16293 the momentum is real, but blind first-timers at Jack's place is a tough ask — top-20 ticket (23.4%) over the outright.

OWGR #24 in this field at +18082 is the disconnect worth exploring — the +0.91 SG Total is the best of this entire group and the T5 at THE PLAYERS in March proves the ceiling is real. The recent stretch (MC at PGA, T52 Truist, T65 Miami) is ugly though, and the T31 in his lone Muirfield look doesn't move the needle. The +0.41 SG Putting is the carrier; if the irons show up, the top-20 (22.3%) hits.

The +0.151 course fit adjustment is doing all the heavy lifting here, because the raw profile (+0.61 SG Total, +0.05 putting, -0.024 course history adj) does not scream Memorial contender. Two made cuts in three Muirfield tries (T22 '24, T38 '23) and a recent T24 at the Truist are the bright spots. At +18650 with a 0.53% model win, this is a skip — the price reflects the fact that he's a 72-hole grinder, not a winner at signature events.

Runner-up at Colonial last week, and the broader heater is legit: T6 Myrtle Beach, T6 Zurich, T14 Valero, 2 at Schwab.

Best raw profile in this longshot cluster at +0.71 SG Total with a balanced OTT/Approach split (+0.31/+0.37) that fits how Muirfield punishes one-dimensional players.

T31 and T41 in two Memorial appearances says he can survive the test without threatening it. At +19834, the 22.5% top-20 number is the only piece of this ticket worth touching.

Course fit adjustment of +0.155 is one of the highest in this entire batch, which makes sense — Muirfield's premium on iron control and putting (+0.35 SG APP, +0.16 putting) maps cleanly onto Harman's skill set. Problem: the course history adjustment is -0.084 and he's missed the cut here in two of his last three tries, including 2025. T22 at Colonial and T11 at Players are real, but +21483 is asking you to ignore that he's never actually played Jack's place well. Hard fade on the outright.

Pierceson Coody
USA - OWGR #55
LONGSHOT
The +0.56 SG Off-the-Tee leads this group and the model has him at 9.0% top-10 despite zero Memorial reps. Recent form is steady-not-spectacular — T22 Colonial, T19 Byron Nelson, T24 Truist — but the -0.17 around-the-green number is a real concern on a course where short-siding yourself into Muirfield's collection areas is a weekly occurrence. No course history is a coin flip rather than a red flag at +21718. Top-20 at 21.3% is the only realistic angle.

Harry Hall
ENG - OWGR #64
LONGSHOT
Best putter in this cluster by a mile at +0.40, which matters more at Muirfield than almost anywhere on tour given how much these bentgrass greens dictate scoring. The T8 at Truist three starts ago hints at the ceiling, but he's bookended that with missed cuts at the PGA and Colonial and has zero Memorial history to lean on. The -0.18 OTT number is a problem on a 7,533-yard track that demands position. At +23066, the win is fantasy; the top-10 at 8.9% is the only honest play.

Jason Day
AUS - OWGR #44
LONGSHOT
T12 at the Masters and T6 at Houston are the form anchors worth respecting, and the +0.36 around-green / +0.31 putting combo is exactly the short-game profile that survives Muirfield's nastier pin locations. The catch is the -0.07 SG Approach in a week where iron play is the entire ballgame, plus T33 and a missed cut in his last two Memorial trips. OWGR #44 at +24094 isn't an insult, but the model's 0.41% win number is being generous. Pass on outrights, consider a small top-20.

Alex Fitzpatrick
ENG - OWGR #88
LONGSHOT
Course history is the entire pitch here: T9 in 2023, T5 in 2024, T31 in 2025 — Fitzpatrick has finished in the top-31 in three straight Memorial appearances despite being OWGR #88. Pair that with a win at Zurich, a T9 at Miami, and a solo 4th at Truist over the last six weeks, and the +0.82 SG Total starts to make a lot more sense. The +0.135 course fit adjustment confirms the eye test. At +24390, this is the longshot in this batch with an actual win path — playable outright at a small stake.
