Billy Horschel made the cut at the Sony Open but struggled over the weekend, shooting 74-71 on Saturday and Sunday to finish 74th. He will look to rebound at The American Express, where he has nine career starts, three top-25 finishes, and five missed cuts. Success here typically hinges on putting and precision on approach and with wedges. Horschel has historically excelled in these areas, though he was just 81st in strokes gained around the green and 78th in putting last week. Expect some bounce-back, but his inconsistency over 2025 and into 2026 makes him a risky fantasy option, even at only $6,800 on DraftKings.

Adam Scott put together four solid rounds at the Sony Open, shooting 67-70-70-68 to finish T40. He will look to carry some momentum into The American Express, where he has yet to compete in his career. Success at this multi-course event typically hinges on putting and precision with short irons and wedges. In 2025, Scott ranked 122nd in strokes gained putting (-0.100 per round), 66th on approach (+0.170), and 70th in birdie or better conversion percentage. At the Sony Open, he lost strokes with both putting and around the green, though he excelled off the tee, hitting 46 of 56 fairways and finishing as the most accurate driver in the event. His struggles on the greens continue to hold him back, and in a week often decided on putting, it may be tough for him to keep up. At $7,900 on DraftKings, fantasy managers will be hoping he can improve with the flat stick to provide strong value.

Russell Henley started his 2026 season with a solid T19 at the Sony Open, shooting 67 or better in three of four rounds. A rough Friday derailed a higher finish, but he'll look to build on that at The American Express. Henley has historically struggled at this multi-course event, with four missed cuts and only one finish better than T49 in seven trips, though his elite ball-striking and putting should play well on what is typically a birdie-heavy week. At the Sony Open, he ranked sixth in strokes gained on approach, 31st in putting, and 10th in birdie or better percentage, with his only weak spot being off the tee, losing -0.532 strokes per round. A bounce-back can be expected in this area, as he ranked 12th in driving accuracy in 2025. At $9,600 on DraftKings, Henley is a strong consideration despite his past results here.

2025 was a step in the wrong direction for Wyndham Clark after his breakout season the year prior, when he recorded a win and eight top-10 finishes. He followed that up with just two top-10 results last year and struggled to find consistency. Clark will look to start 2026 on a better note at The American Express, an event where he has played seven times but finished inside the top 20 only twice. Success here often leans on solid short-iron play and putting, two areas where Clark struggled last season. He ranked 154th on approach at -0.284 strokes per round, 66th in putting at +0.142, and sat in just the 31st percentile in greens in regulation from 100 to 150 yards. At $7,600 on DraftKings, fantasy managers may be better off waiting to see signs of a turnaround before buying back into Clark.
