Claire Rogers said Max Homa is back in form and perfectly positioned to contend at the 2025 PGA Championship. Rogers pointed out that Homa already owns a victory at Quail Hollow and has "contended a decent amount" every time the TOUR stops there, underscoring how comfortable he is shaping shots on the tree-lined routing. She framed Quail as one of the few major venues where local knowledge and past success truly matter, noting that Homa openly calls the course one of his favorites. Because of that history and his recent uptick in ball-striking numbers, Rogers believes Homa is a live outright bet and a strong DFS pivot away from the Big-Three chalk cores.

Claire Rogers said Max Homa is firmly on her "can-win" list for the 2025 PGA at Quail Hollow because the course lines up perfectly with his history and recent trajectory. Homa has already won once at Quail, has multiple additional high finishes there, and Rogers believes the comfort level is huge—“he loves the golf course, obviously.” She added that Homa’s overall form is trending back upward (“Max is back”), making him a live outright ticket and a strong DFS anchor on a layout where he clearly feels at home.

Claire Rogers opened her rankings with Xander Schauffele in the five-spot, citing his runner-up finish at Quail Hollow earlier this month and the confidence boost of attending the defenders’ dinner as last year’s PGA champion. Rogers noted Quail Hollow and Valhalla share a requirement for driving accuracy plus controlled high-trajectory irons—areas where Xander sits top-10 on TOUR this season. She expects the calmer pre-tournament schedule to keep Schauffele fresh and likes him for DFS cores and top-10 wagers.

Claire Rogers confidently selects Scottie Scheffler (+500) to win an unprecedented third consecutive THE PLAYERS Championship. Drawing a playful parallel by referencing the Kansas City Chiefs' failure to three-peat, Rogers believes Scheffler will perform differently, noting that his last victory came two years ago at the Hero World Challenge, suggesting that Scheffler is overdue for another win. Her confidence largely stems from Scheffler's consistent ranking as World No. 1 and comfort level at TPC Sawgrass.
