Schenk has finally strung together multiple events of positive ball-striking after a long lull (Gannon half-joked the improvement came once he ‘had multiple children’). Colonial is one of his best venues—he owns a runner-up finish here—and the renewed tee-to-green form re-opens that ceiling at a mid-6K salary.

Pat Mayo urged listeners to hammer Adam Schenk’s 'make the cut' prop at a generous 1.35x multiplier on Underdog. Mayo argued the bet is almost free money given a 135-player field that includes what he called '15 zombies'— aging sponsors invites and Korn Ferry call-ups with near-zero weekend equity. Schenk, by contrast, boasts two runner-up finishes at Colonial and has rediscovered form with a T5 in Texas, a 64 during U.S. Open qualifying, and positive approach numbers his last time out. Colonial historically rewards his tidy driving and streaky putter, helping him cash 10 of his last 12 PGA cuts on par-70 classics. Mayo compared Schenk’s multiplier to Nicolas Echavarria’s 0.8x and called it 'the best pure value on the board,' recommending it as an anchor leg in two- and three-pick cards that still clear 4-to-1 payouts.

Geoff Ulrich recommended sprinkling Adam Schenk at triple-digit odds for top-10/12 bets and DFS punts. Schenk owns two runner-up finishes at Colonial and recently flashed life: 5th in Texas three weeks ago, a 64 in U.S. Open sectional qualifying, and positive approach numbers in his last start. Ulrich noted Schenk’s success at another classic tree-lined target course, TPC Deere Run, as further evidence that his tidy driving and streaky putter translate here. With elite names soaking up salary and ownership, Schenk gives line-ups a low-rostered path to ceiling upside while maintaining a floor through proven course comfort.

Matt Gannon played Adam Schenk at 6-to-1 for a Top-20 finish. Schenk has gained strokes on approach in three consecutive starts, highlighted by a +3.8 SG:Approach performance at Valhalla that pushed him inside the top-15 through 54 holes. Gannon argued those trending irons map perfectly to Colonial, a course that historically rewards precise mid-iron play over driving distance. Schenk ranked 15th in this field in Fairways Gained over the last 24 rounds and finished T7 here in 2022, showing the layout suits his eye. With books still pricing him like a mid-tier grinder, Gannon sees a mis-match between form and number, calling the +600 a "fairly outrageous" price for someone who can gain multiple shots tee-to-green on a positional track.

Reynolds fired on Adam Schenk at a juicy 95/1 after Schenk snapped a six-event missed-cut skid with a Top-5 in Dallas last week. Beyond the form reversal, Schenk is a ONEflight brand ambassador, giving him extra incentive to shine with the sponsor’s name on the marquee. Reynolds believes that renewed confidence, combined with motivational narrative, is sometimes all a proven TOUR veteran needs to string together back-to-back big weeks in weak-field events.

Erik Polzin said the Adam Schenk / Tyler Duncan pairing is a salary‑relief option he will sprinkle into DFS builds. The former Purdue teammates have real Zurich reps—Schenk’s teams finished 27th and 11th three and four years ago, while Duncan logged a 34th two years back—giving them rare course knowledge for a roster spot priced near the floor. Although his blended model grades them as a bottom‑half outfit on raw strokes‑gained, Polzin believes the built‑in chemistry from their college days plus Schenk’s steady tee‑to‑green baseline (top‑35 in good‑drive percentage this season) bumps their make‑cut probability into the mid‑50 % range. In a week where only 33 of 80 teams advance, he likes using them as a low‑owned punt that unlocks Rory/Lowry lineups without completely sacrificing Saturday equity. Polzin is not firing outrights, but he is comfortable tossing them in Top‑20 parlays at numbers longer than +425.
