Nick Borman urged bettors to skip Scottie Scheffler outright and in small-field DFS despite the Texan topping every strokes-gained metric. Scheffler is trading shorter than 3-to-1, a price Borman calls unplayable given the volatility of ultra-easy, low-scoring setups like Craig Ranch where a random hot putter can erase ball-striking edges. He added that wide fairways, slow 11-stimp greens, and calm winds reduce Scheffler’s tee-to-green advantage, evidenced by none of the first 17 non-signature events in 2025 being won by the strokes-gained leader. Borman expects another birdie shootout and prefers spreading exposure to mid-tier names rather than paying a premium for a Scheffler top-10 that still may not cash an outright ticket or pay off DFS salary.
