At 105/1 (Circa) Lee Hodges made the card. He was 5th here last year and, despite sitting 122nd in FedExCup points (conditional status secured), ranks inside the top-15 in every key wedge proximity bucket and top-20 in SG: Approach on the season (0.425). The analyst believes the wide fairways let Hodges attack pins and rack up birdies in calmer conditions.

Mac Meissner was bet 66/1 at BetMGM. He locked top-100 status thanks to a runner-up at the Wyndham but stayed sharp with four fall made cuts. The handicapper likes Meissner’s profile: 5th in proximity from 125-150 yards (5.84 ft gained) and +0.59 SG on sub-7200-yard courses. He gains strokes putting on Bermuda and has nothing to lose chasing a maiden victory.

Seamus Power was added at 65/1 on DraftKings. Power sits 129th in FedExCup points and needs a big finish to retain full status. The analyst highlighted progressive form—27th in Mexico followed by 11th last week in Bermuda—and a sparkling history on coastal Bermuda tracks: two top-5s at this event (2021, 2022), a win at Port Royal, and podiums at Waialae and El Camaleon. Power also ranks 2nd on TOUR in proximity from 100-125 yards (7.61 ft gained) and 4th in SG: Putting on Bermuda (+0.76).

Eric Cole was tipped at 60/1 via Circa. He owns a strong Sea Island record—3rd in 2023 and 15th in 2024—and the analyst notes that Waialae success often translates here. Cole finished 5th and 13th at the Sony Open the past two seasons. Entering the week 78th in FedExCup points with two top-10s in his last four starts, he ranks 0.82 SG on short courses and gains over a half-shot per round putting on Bermuda (+0.55).

Max McGreevy was bet at 50/1 (Circa). The analyst likes the freedom factor: last week’s T-3 vaulted him to 89th in FedExCup points, removing card pressure. Since winning twice on the Korn Ferry in 2024 and adding an international victory at the Dunlop Phoenix one year ago, McGreevy has three top-12 finishes in his last four starts. His 0.59 SG on sub-7200-yard layouts and top-20 Birdie or Better rate (23.40%) fit a forecasted low-scoring shootout.

The tout grabbed Pierceson Coody 49/1 at Circa Sports, citing elite upside and do-or-die motivation. Coody sits exactly 110th in FedExCup points; a jump into the top-100 would lock up full status. He owns seven Korn Ferry top-10s this season and already logged two PGA TOUR podiums (3M Open and Bank of Utah Championship). Coody leads the entire TOUR in Birdie or Better rate (25.93%) and ranks third in SG: Off-the-Tee on courses under 7200 yards (+0.64 per round in the split), a profile well suited to the short, driver-less Sea Island rotation.

The VSiN handicapper played the homer angle and bet Vince Whaley 40/1 at BetMGM. Whaley lives a short drive from Sea Island, has quietly made 18 consecutive PGA TOUR cuts and just tied for 3rd in Bermuda—his second top-3 in five starts. He has already shown course comfort with a 13th in 2023 and an 8th in 2024 at this event. With light winds expected and winning score projected at −20 or lower, the analyst likes Whaley’s combination of recent birdie making (24.25% Birdie or Better) and proven Bermuda putting (+0.38 SG per round on the surface).
