The Tour Coach played Michael Brennan +400 for a top-10. He argued the weak field will feel like a Korn Ferry Tour stop to the 21-year-old, who’s been stringing strong finishes together. With odds adjusting back to a fair number, the coach expects Brennan’s recent form and comfort on Bermuda greens to translate into contending over four days.

The Tour Coach grabbed Pierceson Coody +120 over Rico Hoey in DraftKings matchups, calling the price generous for a rising talent who has flashed high-end ball-striking this fall. He expects Hoey’s unreliable putter to drag him below expectation, giving Coody the edge across four rounds.

The anonymous Tour Coach backed Matt Kuchar to win at 35-1, noting Port Royal mirrors Kuchar’s last victory at the Sony Open: short, windy, Bermuda-grass and wedge-heavy. Kuchar arrives off a T-11 last week, and the coach believes his fairway accuracy plus elite 100-150-yard proximity give him a blueprint to repeatedly stuff approaches inside 15 feet and ride a hot putter in gusty conditions.
