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.

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.

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.

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.
