Kristoffer Reitan has made a splash in 2026. The Norwegian golfer won the Truist Championship and has four Top 10 results in 17 PGA Tour events. Reitan is a fun golfer to watch who hits 312.6 yards off the tee (26th). Despite a 58.97% accuracy, Reitan's biggest asset is gaining 0.51 strokes to driving (13th). The putter was a major asset in Connecticut with Reitan gaining 1.79 strokes. Driver distance and accuracy has been on the plus side in four of the past five events. Reitan nearly finished in the Top 10 last year (T-13). The Renaissance Club is a course that suits Reitan well and Reitan could be a nice betting option given his international experience.

Shane Lowry usually skips the Genesis Scottish Open. The Irish golfer has two Top 10 results in 2026 and quite a few Top 30 results lately. However, he has not come close to winning an event since February (Pebble Beach and the Cognizant). Lowry was starting to gain momentum at the Travelers Championship but a closing 70 knocked him back a few pegs. Lowry has been in the red over his last three events when it comes to putting. Overall, he ranks 62nd in strokes gained to putting at 0.128. Lowry wastes putts early in events averaging 29.79 putts a round to open then 29.21 in Round 2. That cannot happen in Scotland this week or he is a likely fade for DFS purposes.

Si Woo Kim was pretty much in contention when disaster struck in Connecticut. The South Korean golfer ended up with a 73 in the final round which dropped him outside the Top 25 and even Top 40 (T-43). The putter failed Kim quite a bit in that final round (-0.32 strokes gained overall). Kim ranks 104th overall in putting losing 0.158 strokes. The golfer has a mercurial driver accuracy of 70.1% in 2026 (third) but only drives the ball 299.9 yards. Kim is facing a longer course as far as the Renaissance Club at 7.237 yards. Kim is averaging 4.59 birdies a round (2nd) and a seventh-ranked scoring average of 69.23 keeps him in tournaments from a betting and DFS standpoint.

Tyrrell Hatton took several weeks off after his performance at the US Open (T-7). The English golfer has played overseas while playing three Majors on the PGA Tour in 2026. His showing at the Masters was an eye opener (T-3). Those two majors saw Hatton finish off really well including that 67 at Shinnecock. It is not a surprise that Hatton gains a ton of strokes when all the facets of his game are working. He will be one to watch after gaining more than a full stroke to putting in back-to-back events. A longer course like the Masters displayed Hatton's ability to hit fairways and set up for shorter putts. Once he got past that rough start, Hatton was a different golfer. That makes him a good weekend DFS consideration at the least.
