2025 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches
Shane Lowry $10,500
Since the beginning of September, Shane Lowry has played nine events (PGA and DP World Tours combined). In those nine tournaments just mentioned, Lowry has compiled a rather impressive seven top 13 finishes, including a second-place result at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am earlier this month.
I also like Lowry from an event/course history perspective. Let me be more specific. Since 2020, Lowry has played this week’s PGA Tour event five times. In those five tournaments, Lowry accumulated four top 21 finishes, including a second-place result at the 2022 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches.
Shane Lowry is currently ranked first in proximity to the hole (31’5), 12th in average putts per round (28), 25th in driving accuracy (66.43%) and 21st in total strokes gained (1.045) on the PGA Tour.
In conclusion, I fully expect the talented Irishman to continue his outstanding play at this week’s 2025 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches.
Greyson Sigg $7,100
Greyson Sigg has amassed five top 23 finishes in his last nine tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including a ninth-place result at the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open last month.
Greyson Siggs also checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. Siggs is currently ranked 19th in scrambling (66.67%), 14th in scrambling from the rough (70%), 21st in strokes gained tee to green (0.909) and ninth in approaches from inside 100 yards (11’0) on the PGA Tour.
Billy Horschel $7,800
Billy Horschel has tallied two top 21 finishes in his last four events played on the PGA Tour, including a ninth-place result at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Horschel played his college golf at the University of Florida and has traditionally played exceptionally well in this area of the country. I expect Horschel to continue that trend in south Florida this week.
Additional golfers I like to perform well at this week’s PGA Tour event (Draftkings price noted): Russell Henley $10,600: Daniel Berger $10,000: Luke Clanton $7,700: Kevin Roy $7,100: Jacob Bridgeman $6,700.
