Alex Blickle said Cameron Champ becomes a sneaky DFS and long-shot outright target if DraftKings ultimately adds him to the pool. Blickle argued that TPC Toronto profiles almost exactly like Craig Ranch—driver everywhere, wedge scoring, and surprisingly forgiving around the greens—and reminded listeners Champ just finished T15 at Craig Ranch this spring. Champ still sits #1 on TOUR in both ball speed (197-mph max) and driving distance (321-yard average) and owns positive career splits both around the green and on bentgrass putters in easy scoring conditions. Because most models weight recent form heavily, Champ will grade poorly and stay under 5 % owned, giving GPP players massive leverage on a golfer who has already won three times when distance mattered most. Blickle recommended sprinkling top-20 tickets and working Champ into ‘bombs away’ lineups built around Rory or Knapp.

Pat Mayo said Cameron Champ is his favorite mid-tier dart at TPC Toronto because the redesigned layout rewards pure length and touch around the greens. Mayo hammered home that the track features several 480-plus-yard par 4s, the possibility of two drivable par 4s, and historically produces leaderboards dominated by the very longest hitters (Pendrith, Knapp, Barjon at –25 prior to the redesign). With overnight rain softening fairways, negligible wind on Thursday/Friday, and gusts expected only on the weekend, he expects early scoring conditions that let Champ unleash his 320-yard carry while giving him extra forgiveness on misses. Champ ranks top-5 on TOUR in driving distance, gains over 0.3 strokes per round on and around the greens on easy setups, and has posted three career wins when distance played up. Mayo believes that ceiling profile makes Champ an ideal GPP play at sub-8K salary and a live outright if you can still grab triple-digits.

Mayo labeled Cameron Champ a pure price-sensitive flyer. Champ sits sixth in his short-term model, powered by +1.2 strokes gained off the tee and improved 200-plus-yard proximity over the last 12 rounds. That profile meshes with TPC Toronto’s bomber-friendly par-4s and two reachable par-5s. The catch: Champ’s approach play is still volatile and the market sometimes prices him in the 70-1 range on name value alone. Mayo said he would have no interest at 70-1 but would gladly sprinkle outrights, first-round leader tickets, and GPP DFS exposure if books open closer to 300-1, where the upside finally justifies the risk.
