Pat Perry picked Collin Morikawa as his lock for a top-10 finish at +130 odds. Perry admitted his choice was nothing fancy, simply believing Morikawa’s consistent game and elite iron play positioned him reliably for top-10 contention at Augusta National. This bet was framed specifically as a confident lock rather than an outright, recognizing Morikawa's potential putting challenges as outlined earlier in the show. Despite those concerns, Perry had unwavering confidence in Morikawa delivering a high-floor performance at the Masters this year.

Pat Perry highlighted Taylor Pendrith at +650 as a high-upside longshot for a Masters top-10 finish. While acknowledging it was Pendrith's Masters debut, Perry stated that both he and Barnett liked him as a DFS play and outright longshot possibility. Perry suggested Pendrith's outright chances might be a reach, but he found a +650 top-10 wager an excellent balance between risk and payoff. Pendrith’s impressive recent form and suitable skill set for Augusta made Perry confident he could exceed expectations even in his first Masters appearance.

Pat Perry emphatically endorsed Keegan Bradley as a strong betting candidate at Masters odds of 100-to-1, believing Bradley can genuinely win this tournament. Perry highlighted Bradley's excellent recent form, including consistently high placement (12th in Perry's BTN model) and respectable past Masters finishes (22nd last year, 23rd the year before). Key positives cited were Bradley having the highest apex height in the field, solid ball speed, and quality approach numbers. Perry added Bradley's major-winning pedigree and Ryder Cup captaincy showed he'll handle pressure if contention arises, making triple-digit odds particularly attractive. Perry concluded by emphasizing that at 50 or 60-to-1 Bradley would be questionable, but at 100-to-1 he is a clear value play.

Pat Perry expressed confidence in Patrick Cantlay's outright winning potential at Augusta despite acknowledging some hesitation regarding Cantlay's ability to close. Perry enthusiastically endorsed Cantlay at 35-to-1 as outright winner value. He openly acknowledged questions similarly to Collin Morikawa's perceived struggles under pressure. However, when comparing Cantlay to other contenders like Shane Lowry, Perry indicated a clear preference towards Cantlay, reinforcing his conviction in Cantlay's greater winning upside at Augusta this year. Despite recognizing some risk, Perry firmly listed Cantlay as one of his outright bets, seeing clear value at the current price.

Pat Perry revealed that, although he bet Viktor Hovland earlier in the year at considerably more favorable 60-to-1 odds, he would not advise betting Hovland at the current market price of 35-to-1. Perry cautioned against Hovland due specifically to concerns about his scrambling ability, a key requirement around Augusta's notoriously difficult greens. He admitted liking Hovland's skill set overall and acknowledged his solid Masters debut as the low amateur, but explicitly clarified he wouldn't recommend the wager at the significantly shorter odds currently available due to the considerable question marks around Hovland's short game and scrambling consistency at Augusta.

Pat Perry recommended backing Jon Rahm as a potential Masters winner at 14-to-1 odds. Perry highlighted Rahm's excellent overall history at Augusta National as a primary reason, emphasizing Rahm's consistently strong performances when competing here. Perry mentioned Rahm's current form, noting he is contending at another event in Miami right now and sitting in fifth place, suggesting an ideal combination of recent form and comfort level at Augusta. Rahm stands out clearly to Perry as a high-quality bet among the shorter-odds selections.

Pat Perry recommended Harris English as a risky yet appealing DFS play at a very low price of $6,500. Despite acknowledging English's volatility, Perry referenced his recent solid form—including a win earlier in the year, T30 at the Players Championship, and T18 at Houston. Additionally, Perry highlighted English's three consecutive solid Masters performances (T21, T43, T22). He emphasized that English ranks favorably at 35th in the BTN model, making him a viable option at his low price if DFS managers can accept his hit-or-miss profile.

Pat Perry identified Lucas Glover as a standout low-priced DFS selection at only $6,600. Highlighting Glover's excellent current form and ball-striking, Perry noted Glover ranks highly at 22nd in the BTN model. Moreover, the betting markets further support this, pricing Glover among the better options within his salary range to secure a top-10 finish. Given his combination of DFS affordability and strong recent play with positive statistical backing, Glover is a valuable play that presents solid upside and reliability in lineup builds.

Pat Perry voiced strong DFS interest in first-timer Thomas Detry at Augusta, comparing him to last year's notable first-timer Nikolai Hojgaard who finished T16. Perry drew attention to Detry’s earlier season victory at Waste Management, indicating legit upside and potential to similarly surprise DFS managers at a low salary. Although his missed cuts at API and Players raised minor caution, Perry still sees Detry's recent T22 at Valspar demonstrating promising enough form to risk the Augusta debutant.

Pat Perry named Taylor Pendrith a standout DFS value at Augusta despite it being his tournament debut. Perry highlighted Pendrith's elite power off the tee, recent improvement with the putter after a rough start to 2025, and his excellent strokes-gained rankings, notably 23rd overall in the BTN model. His recent fifth-place finish in Houston reinforces his current form, making him an attractive, well-priced DFS first-timer at just $6,700.

Pat Perry sees Justin Rose as a promising low-owned DFS pivot at Augusta, despite recent inconsistent outings. Rose showed form with solid play at the Arnold Palmer, and notably has good historical performances at Augusta, including a near victory several years ago. Although acknowledging his volatility of late, Perry believes Rose's existing upside combined with low projected DFS ownership makes him worthy of consideration.

Pat Perry advocated against rostering Sahith Theegala in DFS due to his persistent inconsistency. Despite flashes of upside this season, Theegala has continually mixed strong performances with poor showings. Pat expressed clear discomfort and a lack of trust in Theegala's volatility for such a pivotal event like The Masters, highlighting the necessity of stable performances at Augusta and preferring safer or chalkier alternatives in DFS lineups.

Pat Perry anticipates Keegan Bradley will become a popular DFS choice at Augusta due to impressive recent performances. Perry emphasized Bradley's current consistent form and appealing DFS price point at just $7,000, which could attract significant DFS ownership. Perry sees Bradley as a potentially safe high-floor play, capable of making the cut comfortably and providing essential lineup value.

Pat Perry is enthusiastic about Robert MacIntyre as a DFS target given his strong recent performances and encouraging history at Augusta National. Perry highlights MacIntyre's excellent play recently, including T11 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and ninth at The Players Championship, paired with finishes of 12th and 23rd in his last two Masters appearances. Perry expresses slight concern that MacIntyre could become more popular than initially anticipated in DFS, cautioning against rostering him if ownership becomes overly chalky but confidently targeting him otherwise.

Pat Perry highlights Russell Henley as a strong cash-game play for DFS contests at an attractive price of $8,400. Perry mentions Henley's impressive recent win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, strong Augusta history including a T4 in 2023, and outstanding ball striking metrics (23rd in approach). Furthermore, Henley is currently ranked eighth in strokes gained putting and 14th in the overall BTN model. Perry acknowledges Augusta's length could slightly disadvantage Henley due to his average driving distance, but Henley's accuracy and consistency hitting fairways and greens offer a safe DFS floor with substantial upside.

Despite initial hesitation, Pat Perry highlights Patrick Cantlay as a highly attractive low-ownership DFS pivot at Augusta. Perry noted Cantlay's historical Augusta struggles stem predominantly from subpar putting performances, but recent data indicates significant positive trends in this area. Coupled with recently strong iron form, Perry suggested Cantlay could meaningfully surpass DFS expectations if recent putting improvements hold up at Augusta—potentially offering substantial leverage in DFS lineups due to moderate projected ownership.

Pat Perry is strongly inclined to roster Will Zalatoris despite projections for high DFS ownership (chalk). Zalatoris has consistently excelled at The Masters, never finishing outside the top 10 in years he has competed. Perry noted Zalatoris' ball-striking form is steadily returning—though not yet peak—and his proven Augusta comfort significantly boosts his value. Even acknowledging the chalky ownership, Perry believes Zalatoris' high upside at Augusta justifies the DFS price tag and popularity.

Pat Perry sees Jordan Spieth as a sneaky DFS leverage option at Augusta, suggesting Spieth's ownership will be lower due to mixed recent performance. Perry believes Spieth's perennial affection and great track record at Augusta could resurface despite uneven form this season. He suggested that Spieth flashing positive indicators recently combined with Augusta intuition could yield excellent return at modest ownership in DFS contests.

Pat Perry recommended Xander Schauffele as a potentially strong pivot for DFS lineups, expecting lower ownership after returning from injury. Although Schauffele struggled initially post-injury with poor finishes at Arnold Palmer and The Players Championship, he regained form with an impressive T12 at the Valspar, gaining 11 strokes on approach shots. Given his historically strong Augusta record, Perry sees a great leverage opportunity here if Schauffele's ownership stays suppressed due to his inconsistent start to the season.

Pat Perry strongly endorsed playing Collin Morikawa despite high expected ownership (chalk) in DFS this week. Perry mentioned Morikawa's exceptional recent form coupled with elite iron play and excellent history at Augusta National, having finished top 10 each of the past three years. Perry conceded Morikawa would likely be popular but remains confident enough in his consistency and upside at Augusta to justify absorbing the chalk in DFS lineup builds.

Pat Perry sees Jon Rahm as a strong DFS pivot option at this year's Masters. Perry expects Rahm's projected ownership to be relatively low, providing leverage opportunities. While Rahm sits in the top tier pricing range alongside Routinely popular DFS options like Scheffler and Rory, Perry thinks DFS players who pivot to Rahm could have a substantial differentiation advantage in tournaments. This insight ties directly into strategic considerations in roster management for DraftKings lineups, particularly given Rahm’s continued elite potential ability to contend and win at Augusta.

Pat Perry stated definitively he's picking Rory McIlroy over Scottie Scheffler for DFS lineups at Augusta. Perry acknowledged Scheffler’s exceptional Masters history, including two wins, but prefers McIlroy, who is showing signs of peak form heading into the event. Rory has historically struggled with mental hurdles at Augusta, yet Perry thinks this could be his breakthrough year due to current form and fewer off-course distractions. Perry also likes the $1,300 DraftKings price savings choosing Rory provides over Scheffler, allowing greater flexibility in roster construction, despite viable options also existing in the $6k salary range.

Pat Perry highlighted the strategic value in rostering affordable, lower-owned golfers like Chris Kirk in Millie Maker DFS contests. Referencing the successful $100 Millie Maker lineup that featured Chris Kirk at just 6.63% ownership, Perry emphasized the need to mix high-owned picks with carefully selected inexpensive, lower-owned options to achieve differentiation that can separate lineups in large-field GPPs. He advocated for blending popular value golfers with low-owned plays to strike the optimal balance required to win these tournaments.

Pat Perry warned against rostering well-known veteran past Masters champions who carry inflated salaries based on legacy rather than recent form. Using Dustin Johnson’s 2024 Masters performance as a cautionary example, Perry highlighted Johnson scoring just 7.5 DraftKings points over two days despite being priced at $8,800. This significantly damaged roster builds given his high salary allocation. Perry stressed analyzing recent form, health, motivation, and competitive status closely rather than blindly rostering former Green Jacket winners based solely on reputation.

Pat Perry pointed to Collin Morikawa’s performance at the 2024 Masters as evidence of significant value in identifying low-owned, elite ball strikers with strong course fit. Despite his elite iron play and impressive major championship history, Morikawa was rostered at sub-10% ownership due to recent weaker performances. Perry highlighted Morikawa's exceptional ball-striking and Augusta compatibility as key factors behind his significant DFS scoring output. Targeting premium ball-strikers like Morikawa at lower ownership is an effective strategic approach for achieving leverage and maximizing upside at Augusta National.

Pat Perry viewed Scottie Scheffler's runner-up finish at Houston positively, highlighting Scheffler's putting as a significant factor. While Scheffler didn't win, Perry suggested the week was nearly perfect preparation for Augusta. Scheffler demonstrated solid form without peaking prematurely, providing the ideal mix of solid play and motivation as he heads to Augusta. Perry expressed confidence in Scheffler's trajectory and form heading into The Masters, underscoring that his performance at Houston aligns perfectly with expectations for Augusta.

Pat Perry discussed Rory McIlroy's recent elbow issue (described as an "owie"), suggesting it could serve as a beneficial distraction leading into The Masters. Perry observed that historically Rory places immense pressure on himself heading into Augusta, where he's had past disappointments. Having a minor elbow problem may alleviate some of that mental pressure, allowing Rory to approach Augusta more loosely. Perry expressed optimism that Rory's current excellent form, combined with potentially reduced self-imposed pressure due to this minor injury, positions him favorably for success at the Masters.

Pat Perry named Ricky Castillo as his top 20 betting bomb at +450 odds, despite acknowledging the weak selection within the longer odds range. Castillo stood out as Perry's preferred high-risk, high-reward betting option, particularly given the slim alternative choices available in that betting segment of the Valero Texas Open.

Pat Perry confidently picked Corey Conners as a secure top 20 lock at -115 odds despite acknowledging the low payout potential. Perry prioritized profitability over excitement, indicating strong certainty Conners' consistent performances and reliable past results at TPC San Antonio make him a safe and valuable bet to finish within the top 20 at the Valero Texas Open.

Pat Perry highlighted Jake Knapp as a promising betting candidate at Valero Texas Open at 60/1 odds due to recent strong performances. Though Knapp is making his debut at TPC San Antonio, Perry emphasized the potential for first-time tournament winners at this venue historically. Knapp's excellent current form is the primary factor driving Perry to endorse him, acknowledging him as a golfer capable of securing his first victory at this specific tournament.

Pat Perry believes Daniel Berger will become a popular consensus betting pick in the community at 35/1 odds for the Valero Texas Open. Referencing similarities to last week's widespread support of Min Woo Lee, Perry feels Berger stands out as a player many handicappers will collectively rally around, signifying strong betting viability and broad expectation for Berger to perform well at TPC San Antonio.

Pat Perry expressed cautious optimism towards Jordan Spieth at the Valero Texas Open. While admitting Spieth wasn't an immediately popular pick among others, Pat sees signs of Spieth's game coming around just in time for the event. Perry characterized the mood around Spieth as mostly disgruntled, but argued he himself feels 'gruntled' about Spieth's improving form, creating potential betting and DFS leverage due to a contrarian angle.

Pat Perry showed reluctance in backing Jacob Bridgeman at the Valero Texas Open primarily due to fatigue concerns from continuous tournament play. Bridgeman is playing his seventh consecutive event; Perry reasoned that even young, fit golfers facing extended periods without rest could see their performance impacted negatively, thus urging caution in betting or DFS usage.

Pat Perry enthusiastically selected Tommy Fleetwood in season-long bets, highlighting recent improvements Fleetwood has made with his putting stroke. Perry referenced previous DFS discussions about Fleetwood's boosted short-game, implying that such enhancements make him a favorable play for both betting and fantasy markets heading into the Valero Texas Open.

Pat Perry recommended considering Chris Kirk as a DFS pivot selection at $7400 on DraftKings, given his notable course history highlighted by a 6th and a 10th-place finish at Valero Texas Open. Perry mentioned Kirk has rebounded from a rough early season start, finding improved form lately and showcasing potential DFS upside as an under-the-radar value this week.

Pat Perry recommended Rico Hoey at $7600 on DraftKings due to his solid recent play (T11 last week in Houston) and a T14 finish in his only previous appearance at the Valero Texas Open. Perry pointed out Hoey’s consistency, reflected in his 38th ranking in the BTN model and recent strong tournament finishes, supporting Hoey’s DFS roster value at his affordable salary.

Pat Perry predicted Bud Cauley’s DFS popularity due to his strong recent play and compelling comeback story from injuries. Cauley ranks number one in the Bet the Number (BTN) model and sixth in Perry's personal model, reflecting strong statistical form. Perry admitted previously underestimating Cauley but noted his solid recent results coupled with a narrative the DFS community embraces will drive popularity, making him both a viable and strongly projected play despite the potential high ownership.

Pat Perry expressed enthusiasm for rostering Keegan Bradley as a reliable DFS option, citing both recent strong play and proven course history at the Valero Texas Open. Bradley has performed well at this event previously, and Perry highlighted how Bradley’s current form aligns nicely with the expected skill set needed at TPC San Antonio, suggesting he is poised to deliver strong value at moderate ownership.

Pat Perry advocated strongly for rostering Jordan Spieth this week in DFS, characterizing him as a "stock that's down and nobody wants to buy." Perry noted Spieth's quiet consistency recently—highlighting a top-10 at the Cognizant and a T28 at the Valspar—as well as his strong track record at the Valero Texas Open with a past victory and a recent top-ten finish. He argued this sentiment around Spieth’s perceived lack of DFS success is overblown, making him an appealing contrarian play who can return value if the ownership remains suppressed.

Pat Perry projected Patrick Cantlay as a strong pivot play in DFS contests for Valero Texas Open, expecting him to be overlooked relative to Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Aberg, and Corey Conners in the high-priced range. Perry sees this as a valuable DFS opportunity given Cantlay's strong upside, potential leverage due to lower ownership, and the expectation that other top-priced golfers in this field will attract significant attention. Perry highlighted the value of rostering a golfer with Cantlay's top-tier skill set when ownership is suppressed, creating an attractive leverage spot in DFS tournaments.
