Connor Federico punted on Max Homa as an +8000 sleeper, leaning heavily on the Californian’s love affair with Quail Hollow: first PGA Tour win at the 2019 Wells Fargo and a 4-0 Presidents Cup romp in 2022. Federico admitted Homa’s season has been bumpy, yet a T12 at the Masters signaled a turnaround. He believes comfort in Charlotte can revive Homa’s ceiling and make the number mis-priced.

Connor Federico backed Ludvig Aberg at +1600, citing the 25-year-old’s Augusta run where a molten putter and a 190-mph driver had him flirting with the lead. Federico admitted Aberg has zero Quail Hollow reps but compared him to Justin Thomas, who lifted his first major here at 24. Given Aberg’s combination of length, touch and fearlessness, Federico predicted the Swede begins a multi-major career arc this week.

Connor Federico highlighted Max Homa at +8000, leaning on a sterling Charlotte résumé. Homa earned his first PGA Tour victory at the 2019 Wells Fargo at Quail Hollow and went 4-0-0 for Team USA at the 2022 Presidents Cup on the same property. Federico acknowledged Homa’s recent slump but pointed to a T12 at the Masters as proof the swing is trending back. With comfort on the layout and triple-digit form flashes, Federico believes the number is simply too long for a player who has already shown he can win on this track.

Connor Federico backed Ludvig Aberg at +1600, pointing to the 25-year-old's hot putter and blazing driver that kept him on Augusta's first page last month. Although Aberg has never teed it up at Quail Hollow, Federico compared his trajectory to Justin Thomas, who claimed his first major here at 24. With Aberg's all-around talent and recent form, Federico expects him to start a multi-major career by hoisting the Wanamaker on Sunday.
