Matt Brown fired an outright on Corey Conners after noticing the Canadian is one of the only players flashing green across every driving metric and par-5 scoring category. Conners is 6th in good-drive percentage, 8th in total driving, and sits inside the top-10 in strokes-gained tee-to-green over the last 24 rounds. Brown emphasized Muirfield’s four par-5s are the only holes playing under par; Conners ranks 7th on TOUR in par-5 scoring from 550-600 yards. Around-the-green play remains mediocre (38th of 72 this week), but Brown believes Conners can mitigate that weakness by simply keeping the ball in play and hitting greens in regulation—he is 12th in GIR this season. With the market hanging mid-40s outright numbers, Brown thinks Conners’ combination of high floor and rising ceiling is being undervalued.

Bydlon is hammering Corey Conners for another top-20 after cashing seven of the last eight. Conners ranks 8th off-the-tee, 10th on approach, and 13th tee-to-green over his past 12 rounds while sitting 6th in driving accuracy and 12th in GIR on the season. He already owns two top-20s at the Memorial in the last three years, and Kelley sees no reason to stop riding the form until sportsbooks tighten the number.

Jim Sannes tabbed Corey Conners as his preferred target in the $10K salary band at $10.9K. Conners checks the key Memorial boxes with hyper-accurate driving and consistently plus iron play, giving him scoring upside regardless of whether rain makes Muirfield Village play longer or favors precision. Sannes conceded Conners remains "not great" around the green—his lone red flag—but argues the Canadian’s tee-to-green consistency outweighs that weakness in a range where alternatives such as Shane Lowry, Sepp Straka and Daniel Berger have either poorer iron form or less accuracy. Conners is not a lock the way Thomas is in the $11K tier, yet he leads the 10K cluster for Sannes when DFS roster builds need a stable mid-priced anchor.

Iain MacMillan recommended Corey Conners at +3300 to win the Memorial, citing the course’s emphasis on precision over length. Conners sits 11th on Tour in driving accuracy, 9th in greens in regulation, and 5th in scrambling from the rough—three stats MacMillan says give him a leg up at Muirfield Village. Conners has posted two top-20 finishes at this event in the last three years and has quietly logged top-20 results in seven of his past eight starts this season. MacMillan views the 33-1 price as clear value for a player whose skill set aligns perfectly with Jack’s Place.

Mike McClure’s SportsLine simulation model – which has returned more than $9,000 in PGA profits since June 2020 – spit out Corey Conners as an outright target at 28-1 after running the Memorial field 10,000 times. McClure pointed to Conners’ rock-solid recent form (only one finish outside the top-25 since Feb. 16 with four top-10s) plus elite ball-striking metrics. The Canadian ranks 11th on Tour in driving accuracy, ninth in greens in regulation and 18th in total strokes gained. That statistical profile fits Muirfield Village’s demand for precise tee-to-green play, giving bettors a longshot with a consistent floor and genuine win equity.

Mike McClure said his SportsLine model sees Corey Conners as a sneaky outright winner at 28-1. Conners has been one of the tour’s steadiest players since February 16, recording four top-10s and only one finish outside the top-25. The Canadian’s profile fits Muirfield: he ranks 11th in driving accuracy, ninth in greens-in-regulation, and 18th in total strokes gained. McClure noted that those ball-striking numbers are exactly what tends to separate contenders at Jack Nicklaus’ second-shot layout. With sportsbooks hanging a long number because bettors are locked on Scottie Scheffler, McClure believes Conners offers legitimate win equity and is worth a plus-money swing at FanDuel.

Adam Schupak pegged Corey Conners as his primary sleeper at +2800. Conners ranks near the top of the tour in strokes-gained approach and greens-in-regulation, traits Schupak says are critical at Muirfield Village. If the Canadian can coax an average putting week—historically his weakness—Schupak expects him to be a Sunday factor. Given the ball-striking floor and a price nearly double the chalk, Conners is on Schupak’s outright and top-10 cards.

Iain MacMillan recommended Corey Conners at +3300, calling him an ideal course fit because Muirfield Village rewards accuracy over raw length. Conners is 11th on Tour in driving accuracy, ninth in greens-in-regulation, and fifth in scrambling from the rough this season—skills MacMillan thinks give him a tangible edge on Jack Nicklaus’ penal layout. The Canadian has two top-20 finishes here in the past three years and is in rock-solid form with seven top-20s in his last eight starts. MacMillan views 33-1 as tangible value on a player whose skill set directly matches the venue’s demands.

Polzin likes Corey Conners as an outright bet at 33-to-1, noting the Canadian sits second in his model’s recent-form rankings and inside the top-12 for overall stat fit. Conners has gained strokes on approach in nine consecutive starts and ranks sixth on Tour in greens-in-regulation over the last 24 rounds. Although the win has been elusive, he has rattled off finishes of 6th (The Players), 8th, 18th, 8th and T-11 in marquee events, showing he can contend in elite fields. Polzin thinks the Memorial’s emphasis on precise iron play and long par-4 scoring is tailor-made for Conners and suggested pairing him with Xander Schauffele in balanced DFS builds when fading Scheffler.

Conners has made 11 consecutive cuts and logged four top-20 finishes over that span, prompting Polzin to label him a ‘made-cut machine.’ The Canadian ranks third in the field in recent form and continues to gain strokes on approach, matching the greens-in-regulation emphasis at Jack’s Place. Polzin likes Conners as a high-floor play for double-ups and single-entry tournaments, especially on rosters built around Scheffler’s hefty salary.

Rich Gehman highlighted Corey Conners as the quiet No. 2 in strokes-gained form over the last 36 rounds—trailing only Scottie Scheffler—with 2.8 strokes per round gained. Conners has picked up seven or more strokes in five of his last eight starts and strung together multiple top-10/20 finishes. At last year’s Memorial he gained 7.5 strokes tee-to-green and finished T-20 despite losing with the putter; this year he arrives having gained with the flat stick in six of nine events, including +3.0 at Quail Hollow. Gehman does not expect an outright win but projects Conners as a strong top-10 candidate and a reliable $9.1K DraftKings anchor whose current stat profile still has “juice to squeeze.” He recommended leaning on Conners in DFS builds and sprinkling top-10/top-20 bets.

Andy Lack pushed Corey Conners up his outright and DFS boards after the course breakdown. Lack noted that Muirfield Village heavily rewards a controlled left-to-right ball flight, precise total driving and long-iron proficiency— three areas where Conners excels. Conners’ stock 5-yard fade keeps him in the fairway (he ranks 8th in the field in fairways-gained over the last 24 rounds) and allows him to attack the par-5s, which Lack emphasized play as the four easiest but still demand a fairway hit to reach in two. Conners sits 5th overall in Lack’s custom model thanks to being top-10 in strokes-gained approach from 175-225 yards and top-15 in scrambling from the rough, two stats Lack weighted most heavily because more than 30% of approaches come from 200+ yards and Muirfield sports the highest missed-green volume on Tour. With putting de-emphasized—Lack gave it his lowest weight of the season—Conners’ mediocre flat stick becomes less of a liability, making him a core play at 35-1 outright and a chalk-acceptable $7,900 tag on DraftKings.

Pat Mayo ranked Corey Conners No. 2 in his 24-round Memorial model behind only Scottie Scheffler and believes the Canadian is undervalued in outright and top-10 markets. Conners has gained off the tee in every career start at Muirfield Village and sits top-10 in proximity from 175-225 yards, the distance bucket Mayo called "non-negotiable" this week. Although Conners remains a three-putt risk, Mayo argued that Memorial’s smaller greens reduce that liability—the course ranks bottom-10 on Tour in three-putt percentage. Conners quietly rallied for a T-20 at Valhalla despite a pedestrian opening 36 holes, suggesting his iron game is percolating. Mayo said Conners’ chipping still needs work but pointed out he gained 4.5 strokes around the green here last year ("probably chipped in twice, but it still counts"). With expected odds in the 45-1 range and DFS ownership suppressed by sexier names, Mayo endorsed Conners for outright, top-20, and cash-game builds.

Pat Perry also grabbed Corey Conners at +180 for a Top-20, arguing the Canadian’s skill set perfectly matches Quail Hollow. Conners sits top-15 on TOUR in proximity from 175-225 yards and has gained strokes putting in three of his last four starts. Course history backs it up: T-11 at this year’s Wells Fargo plus T-8 and T-13 the two previous editions at Quail. Perry expects Conners’ fairway-finding driver to keep him out of the gnarly rye rough Webb Simpson warned about, giving him more full-green looks on a week where wet conditions place a premium on approach precision.

Pat Perry argued Corey Conners is still worth a click at 65-1 despite lacking bomber status. Conners sits 7th in Perry’s model largely because of his surgically accurate long irons—he ranks top-15 on Tour in proximity from 175-225 yards, the yardage bucket that dominates seven holes at Quail Hollow. He finished T-11 at this year’s Wells Fargo and owns a T-8 (2023) and T-13 (2024) on the same property, proving he can navigate the course without elite length. While Conners is only average off the tee, Perry noted his fairway-finding allows him to attack soft greens, and the Canadian has gained strokes putting in three of his last four starts. For a player who routinely lives on leaderboards in tough, long setups and is priced deeper than 40-1 fringe names, Perry sees 65-1 as mispriced value.

Pat Fitzmaurice advised targeting Corey Conners for top-10 and top-20 markets rather than an outright. Conners has seven top-20 finishes in 12 PGA Tour starts this year and has thrived at Quail Hollow—T8 in 2023 and fourth in 2024—thanks to elite driving accuracy and precise long-iron play. Pat admitted Conners’ shaky putting caps his win equity but stressed the Canadian’s T-green consistency makes plus-190 for a top-20 a strong value bet.

Jim Sannes went a step further, taking Corey Conners for a top-10 at 5-to-1 (with the FanDuel-No Laying Up finishing-position boost). Sannes highlighted Conners’ torrid iron run: he gained 1.63 strokes per round on approach last week—the fourth event since March clearing +1.0—including +1.52 per round at Augusta where he finished eighth. The Canadian has identical eighth and 13th-place results in his last two Quail Hollow trips despite modest distance. Sannes noted Conners ‘contends despite not being super long’ because his irons give him ceiling; with wet conditions neutralising rollout, he sees realistic top-10 upside and used the profit boost to juice the payout.

Brandon Gdula recommended Corey Conners for a top-20 finish at +210, saying the Canadian’s iron play is simply too good to ignore even on a bomber-friendly Quail Hollow. Conners ranks 24th in strokes gained per round across nine majors since 2023, 13th in approach and 14th in overall ball-striking against this week’s field. His Quail Hollow record backs it up—top-15 finishes in each of his last two starts—and no one in the field with more than four measured rounds has gained more approach strokes here (1.37 per round over 18 rounds, next-best is 0.93). Gdula conceded Conners lacks pop off the tee, but believes the pristine iron numbers and proven major form justify a plus-money top-20 ticket despite the possibility of clustered scoring.

Kyle Murray said Corey Conners is the best number in the entire mid-tier, grabbing him outright at 70-1 on FanDuel while other books are already as low as 50-1. Murray noted Conners’ elite recent ball-striking profile—13th in total strokes gained, ninth in ball striking, 14th off the tee and 11th tee-to-green over the last six months—arguing that those metrics put him on par with players priced in the 40-1 range. Quail Hollow’s 7,500-plus yards and 41 % of approaches from 200+ yards play directly into Conners’ strength with long-iron proximity. Murray conceded the Canadian’s closing equity is unproven, so he is also sprinkling top-10 and top-20 markets, but believes the 70-1 outright is too much value to pass up.

Hochberg pegged Corey Conners at $8,300 as a high-floor Cash play. The Canadian sat in Sunday’s penultimate pairing at the 2025 Masters (T8) and already owns five top-10s this season. Crucially, his putter—long his Achilles heel—has improved to 90th in SG: Putting. He logged T13 and T8 finishes at Quail Hollow the last two years despite the previous putting woes. Combined with elite ball-striking, Conners profiles for another cut-made with top-15 upside at a palatable salary.

Dave Tindall recommended an each-way wager on Corey Conners at 50/1 for 8 places, calling the Canadian an ideal Quail Hollow grinder. Conners ranks 18th in SG: Off-the-Tee, 23rd Tee-to-Green and 25th SG: Total this season, with his putter finally creeping to 90th (better than tour average and a sizable improvement on prior years). He opened 2025 with a top-five at The Sentry and since March has logged finishes of 3rd, 6th, two 8ths and 11th (Truist last week). Major pedigree is quietly solid: four top-10s in the last six Masters and 9th at the 2024 U.S. Open. His PGA record shows 12th, 17th and 26th in three of the last four renewals. Specific to Quail Hollow he was 8th in 2023 and 13th in 2024 at the Wells Fargo, making every cut and ranking in the top-20 Off-the-Tee each time; his Approach ranks there read an eye-popping 2-13-7-2 with top-7 Tee-to-Green numbers in the last two editions. Tindall dismissed distance concerns, pointing out Conners’ last six results on courses over 7,500 yards: 8-24-5-6-9-20. All told, his elite ball-striking, sneaky length and improved flat stick give him a strong chance to land inside the extended place terms.

Matt Vincenzi circled Corey Conners as his favorite first-round-leader dart at 70-1. Vincenzi expects the opening day to be played on a rain-softened layout and pointed out that receptive greens erase Conners’ lack of pure length by allowing his long-iron approaches to sit instead of skipping over the back. Conners already owns strong Thursday pedigree at this major – solo FRL at Kiawah and T-2 after Thursday at Oak Hill – and Vincenzi thinks the Canadian’s consistency with mid- and long-irons plus a comfortable morning/afternoon draw sets him up for another hot start. While Conners rarely wins outright, the combination of soft conditions, historical FRL success and the generous 70-1 number makes him a compelling single-round bet.

Brandon Gdula said that when choosing between Corey Conners and Sungjae Im in the $9K range, Conners is "by a mile" the play. Conners costs $9,500, ranks 7th in ball striking over the last three months, and comes in off a T11 at the Truist. He has backed that up with T8 and T13 finishes at Quail Hollow the past two years, proving the course fit. Although Conners is only average in distance, Gdula trusts his top-10 proximity numbers from 175-225 yards to mitigate that gap on Quail’s long par-4s. The Canadian is gaining more than 1.6 strokes per round on approach since February, giving him both a high cut-making floor and spike-week potential. Gdula plans to be overweight in DFS single-entry builds and is considering Conners for head-to-head matchup bets versus similar-priced but shorter hitters.

Jim Sannes added Corey Conners at 70-to-1 to his outright card even though he typically avoids longshots at majors. Sannes reasoned that Conners’ elite iron play—seventh in strokes-gained approach over the last three months—and back-to-back top-13 finishes at Quail Hollow give him true spike-week equity. Conners has gained at least 1.6 strokes per round on approach since February and historically gains nearly a stroke tee-to-green at this course despite average distance off the tee. With respectable recent form and proven course comfort, Sannes believes the Canadian’s path to contention is cleaner than most triple-digit names and that 70-to-1 offers enough win equity to justify a small wager.

Polzin advised pool players chasing leverage to consider Corey Conners over Cantlay in Tier 2. Conners actually ranks third in the 9-to-5 model—one spot above Cantlay—and has flashed more recent upside, including an eighth-place finish at last year’s Masters and multiple top-10s this season. Because most entrants will default to Cantlay or Tommy Fleetwood, Polzin expects Conners to be the least selected of the top trio, giving savvy managers a chance to gain ground if the Canadian pops.

Geoff Fienberg said his favorite specialty wager of the week is Corey Conners First-Round Leader. Conners has been FRL twice and solo-second once in the opening round of the last four PGA Championships (Kiowa 2021, Oak Hill 2023, and Southern Hills 2022), a record Fienberg thinks shows Conners thrives on Thursday pin positions set up by the PGA of America. Geoff added that Quail Hollow’s likely rain-softened fairways will let Conners lean on his elite long-iron play—he ranked inside the top-10 on Tour in proximity from 175-225 yards last season—without worrying about rollout. Slightly slower early-week greens further boost the Canadian, who tends to lose strokes with the putter as surfaces firm up. Fienberg believes a fresh, receptive layout gives Conners a realistic path to a 66 or 67 before conditions toughen, and he is grabbing any 60/1 or longer FRL price still available.

Polzin spotlighted Corey Conners as the week’s biggest outright bargain and a slam-dunk DFS core. Conners’ form line is pristine— 3rd at the Arnold Palmer, 6th at THE PLAYERS, 8th at Valspar, T10 at The Masters, and 11th last week— yet FanDuel hung a 75-1 outright price. The Canadian’s profile screams Quail Hollow fit: top-10 strokes-gained ball-striking over the past 24 rounds, elite total driving, and an iron-play surge that has gained 4+ strokes in four of his last five starts. Polzin compared him directly to Ludvig Aberg (priced higher everywhere) and noted Conners grades out better in every metric inside his 9to5 model. With salary relief in the low-$8K range on DraftKings and long odds in the betting market, Conners becomes a two-way core for Polzin— “a guy you start cards and balanced DFS builds with.”

Parker recommended a flier on Corey Conners at +7500 to win outright, noting the Canadian has finished T13 and T8 in his two most recent trips to Quail Hollow and ranks fourth in the field in true strokes gained tee-to-green over his last seven events. Conners has gained strokes off the tee and on approach in each of those seven tournaments and even flipped the usual weakness by gaining strokes putting for the entire run, highlighted by a +2.14 putting performance in the final round of the 2024 Wells Fargo at this venue. Coming off a T11 at the Truist Championship, Parker believes Conners’ elite ball-striking plus trending flat stick give him legitimate sleeper equity.

Len Hochberg labeled Corey Conners a sneaky value in both DFS and outright markets, noting early 80-to-1 odds for a player whose baseline ball striking is never in question. Conners has quietly produced his best season to date, piling up top-10 finishes because his putter has finally caught up to his tee-to-green consistency. Historically his elite driving accuracy and iron play capped out at top-25s; improvement on the greens has elevated his ceiling considerably. Sitting in the low-$8K DraftKings range, Conners offers cut-making safety with legitimate Sunday contention upside that lets line-ups afford a second high-priced star.

Matt Cradock pointed to Corey Conners at +7500 as his favorite outsider. Conners has eight top-25 finishes in 12 starts this season, including five top-11s in his last seven events. The Canadian owns back-to-back strong showings at Quail Hollow (T13 in 2024, T8 in 2023), confirming course comfort. Statistically he grades out as an elite ball-striker, ranking near the top of every Strokes Gained category except putting. Cradock believes if Conners enjoys an average week on the greens, his tee-to-green consistency gives him legitimate winning equity at long odds.

Pat Mayo flagged Corey Conners as a prime first-round-leader ticket at Quail Hollow. Conners finished Thursday on top of the PGA leaderboard in 2021 and sat second after round one in 2023, a pattern Mayo attributes to his laser-accurate long irons and habitually hot starts before the putter cools. The Canadian ranks top-15 in strokes-gained tee-to-green over the last eight weeks and sits third in this field in 200-plus-yard proximity—exactly the bucket that will dominate at Quail. Mayo conceded Conners loses strokes putting on an annual basis, but argued lightning-fast, grainy greens level the playing field early in the week before footprints and pressure kick in. With books dangling 60-to-1 or longer FRL numbers and DFS showdown ownership likely below five percent, Mayo recommended sprinkling Conners in first-round-leader markets and using him as a Thursday-only Showdown staple.

Keith Stewart dismissed Corey Conners as a betting or DFS option at the PGA Championship, arguing the Canadian’s profile clashes with how Quail Hollow will play in May. Stewart expects muted rough and receptive greens, meaning players must overpower the 7,600-yard layout rather than plot. Conners ranks outside the top-60 in driving distance and has historically lost strokes on the quick-grain Bermuda surfaces found in Charlotte. Stewart noted that firm-and-fast conditions in 2017 created room for precision ball-strikers like Kisner and Molinari, but the 2025 setup is closer to a Wells Fargo power test where Rory, Bryson, and other 300-plus hitters thrive. He advised reallocating exposure toward longer players with at least neutral putting splits on Bermuda, calling Conners “a square peg for a round hole” this week.

Joe Idone spotlighted Corey Conners for first-round-leader and top-10 markets rather than an outright ticket. Conners ranks top-5 on Tour in greens-in-regulation from 175–225 yards and hits 66 % of fairways, a profile Idone believes will thrive on Quail Hollow’s 500-yard par fours despite his modest distance. Because Conners shrinks the around-the-green sample with sheer GIR volume—he led the field in GIR at Bay Hill and Augusta—Idone sees a clear path to leaderboard equity without asking him to get up-and-down from Quail’s thick rough. The concern is Saturday fade-outs and periodic three-putts, so Idone prefers the plus-450 top-10 and 60-to-1 FRL tickets where a hot opening round or steady four-day tee-to-green week can cash without needing a career putting spike.

McClure’s model sees Corey Conners as undervalued at 30-1. Conners is coming off a T-8 at the Masters where he opened with a 4-under 68 and posted red numbers in each of the first three rounds, giving him four top-8s in his last five events. Despite a mediocre T-49 at the RBC Heritage, he sits 8th in the current FedEx Cup standings and has been a steady under-par scorer since a 3rd at Bay Hill in March. Conners also owns back-to-back strong showings at this venue—T-13 last year and T-8 the year before—indicating a solid fit for the Philadelphia Cricket Club layout. With two PGA Tour victories already on the resume, the model believes his true odds are closer to the mid-20s, creating actionable value for outright tickets or each-way bets.

Cody Williams pegged Corey Conners at +3000, citing a "complete game" perfectly tailored to Wissahickon. Over his last 20 rounds Conners ranks 4th in SG: Tee-to-Green thanks to accurate driving and pinpoint irons, while sitting 10th in scrambling over the last 16 rounds—critical on a green complex loaded with bunkers and subtle slopes. Williams believes that all-around profile gives the Canadian real winning upside in Philly.

Mike McClure’s SportsLine model tabbed Corey Conners as a prime value at +3000 to win the 2025 Truist Championship. Conners has five top-10s in 11 events this season and has finished T-8 or better in four of his past six starts. Statistically, the Canadian profiles perfectly for Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon layout: 15th in GIR (69.84%), 19th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.468) and 20th in driving accuracy (66.33%). The model gives him a significantly greater win probability than the 3.2% implied by his odds, making Conners a recommended outright and top-five wager for bettors hunting a longshot payday.

Neil Parker recommended Corey Conners outright at +3200, stating that his modest T49 at the RBC Heritage was likely a post-Masters letdown after finishing T8 at Augusta. Prior to that dip, Conners logged six straight Top-25s including a solo 3rd at the Arnold Palmer and three additional Top-10s. Over that span he ranked 3rd in this field in true strokes-gained tee-to-green, 15th in putting, and 5th in driving accuracy. Parker expects that all-around profile to play perfectly at Philadelphia Cricket Club and sees the Canadian as mispriced relative to the top tier.

Matt Brown highlighted Corey Conners at even-money (plus-110 at some shops) for a Top-20, calling him a statistical monster tailor-made for Philadelphia Cricket Club. Over the last 24 rounds Conners ranks second in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and first Off-the-T—better than Rory McIlroy—while sitting fifth in 100-to-150-yard proximity, first in scrambling, and 16th Around-the-Green. Those are the exact wedges-and-short-game metrics Brown weighted because nine par-4s sit under 450 yards and the course’s firm greens demand touch. The putter can nosedive—Heritage’s T-49 was the result—but Conners has eight top-20s in his last ten starts even when the flatstick misfires. In a 72-man field Brown thinks a plus-money price is a bookmaking mistake and locked in the placement instead of an outright to dodge the inevitable cold putting week.

Calling Corey Conners his "favorite point-per-dollar play of the week," Farnsworth pointed to four top-10 finishes in Conners’ last six starts and a skill set tailor-made for this track. Conners is historically strong in total driving and iron play, but the key development is his short game: he has gained strokes around the green in six of the last seven events and with the putter in five of seven. Farnsworth thinks that recent short-game surge, combined with a course that minimizes the driver, gives Conners realistic win equity at a mid-tier salary.

Pat Perry argued Corey Conners is an outright steal at 30-1. Conners grades 13th in the BTN model and, according to Perry, “literally fits everything Matt Every just said we need” — natural distance-control wedges, a high fairway percentage, and enough pop to carry the 300-yard bunker lines Philadelphia Cricket Club presents. Over his last 24 rounds Conners ranks 4th on tour in proximity from 125-175 yards, the exact gap-wedge window Every circled, and sits top-10 in Strokes Gained: Approach during that span. Perry concedes the Canadian’s putter is the wild card but pointed out Conners gained strokes on the greens in three of his last four starts. With the market still obsessed with bomb-and-gouge names, Perry sees Conners as a live winner and back-door each-way at a number that “feels really good.”

Mike McClure said his SportsLine simulation spit out Corey Conners as a surprise top-five finisher and therefore a live outright ticket at 30-1. The Canadian has quietly been one of the tour’s steadiest players, posting four top-8 finishes in his last six starts and contending at Augusta before a Sunday 68 pushed him outside the top five. Conners’ ball-striking has gained at least 3.5 strokes on approach in five of those six events, and McClure’s 10,000-run model believes that profile translates perfectly to the tighter Pennsylvania layout. Because the projection places Conners inside the 95th percentile of win equity this week, McClure views the 30-1 number at FanDuel as mispriced value worth an outright wager.

Eric Polzin highlighted Corey Conners as the easiest click in the entire mid-tier. Conners owns the second-best recent-form rating in the field despite a forgettable RBC Heritage, yet DraftKings left him in the low-$8K range. Polzin stressed that Conners’ elite iron play and driving accuracy fit the new tight par-70 perfectly and allow him to rack up Greens in Regulation without taking unnecessary risks. Because he is priced alongside far weaker names, Polzin plans to build "balanced" DFS lineups that start with Conners and still afford two additional $9K players. While Polzin did not give an outright ticket, he called Conners “a little bit too cheap in every market,” making him viable for Top-20 wagers as well.

Pat Mayo said Corey Conners is mis-priced at 33-1 for the Truist Championship. Conners ranks No. 2 in the raw Fantasy National model and No. 5 in Mayo’s custom build thanks to eight straight events gaining off-the-tee, top-10 proximity from 175-200 yards and third-best greens-in-regulation over his last 36 rounds. Mayo likened the skill set to Russell Henley’s Bay Hill win—elite long-iron control on a positional track—adding that Philadelphia Cricket Club’s narrow corridors mute Conners’ lack of raw power. If the Canadian merely putts to field average, Mayo sees winning upside and expects books to chop his number into the mid-20s once data-heavy bettors pile in.

Rick Gehman advised fading Corey Conners at $8,800. Connors’ calling card is pinpoint driving paired with laser-like irons, but Gehman fears Philadelphia Cricket’s generously wide fairways and modest rough mean those skills won’t separate him from the field. The Canadian will still hit plenty of greens, yet on a course where everyone plays from short grass he loses his usual edge both off the tee and on approach. Gehman prefers Conners on longer, tighter setups where accuracy is rewarded and sees little justification to pay the premium in DFS this week.

Mike McClure advised backing Corey Conners at 30-1 after the SportsLine model gave him an aggressive win percentage in 10,000 sims. Conners is fresh off a T-8 at the Masters, his fourth top-eight finish in five starts, and still sits 8th in the FedEx Cup. He has strong course history—T-13 here last year and T-8 the year before—and enters with steady under-par scoring since a podium at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The model’s projection, combined with Conners’ two career PGA Tour wins and sharp iron play, highlights him as a value outright or each-way ticket.

Mike McClure’s SportsLine model identified Corey Conners at 30-1 as a live longshot capable of winning at Philly Cricket Club. Conners has logged five top-10 finishes in 11 events this season and has placed T-8 or better in four of his last six starts. His underlying ball-striking numbers pop: 15th on Tour in greens-in-regulation (69.84%), 19th in strokes gained: off-the-tee (+0.468), and 20th in driving accuracy (66.33%). With that combination of recent form and statistical profile, the model believes Conners’ true odds are shorter than the market, making him a strong outright and top-10 wager.

Alex Blickle endorsed Corey Conners as an under-the-radar fit for Philadelphia Cricket. Although Conners is only slightly above Tour-average in raw distance, Blickle highlighted that his elite fairway-finding and disciplined miss management let him attack the handful of holes where bombing over bunkers is not an option. Conners ranks top-10 in Strokes Gained: Off-the-T over the last 50 rounds thanks to a 66% fairway rate, and Blickle noted that his tendency to miss on the ‘safe’ side keeps the double bogey out of play—vital on a course where even par is a great score. With approaches expected to finish 20–30 feet from the hole all week, Conners’ ability to two-putt and avoid short-sided chips further neutralizes any around-the-green weakness. Blickle compared the setup to Bay Hill (where Conners owns multiple top-15s) and advised using the Canadian as a DFS core piece in single-entry builds while sprinkling outright and top-20 tickets before the market reacts.

Mike McClure's SportsLine model identifies Corey Conners as a strong sleeper candidate with significant betting upside at the 2025 RBC Heritage. Conners has been in excellent recent form, finishing T-8 or better in four of his previous five events, including a T-8 placement at the Masters. His superb ball-striking statistics—13th in greens in regulation (70.32%), 16th in strokes gained off-the-tee (0.508), and 17th in driving accuracy (66.17%)—make him perfectly suited for Harbour Town’s challenging tee-to-green layout. Given these metrics and recent performances, the model views him as significantly undervalued at his current odds of 25-1, recommending bettors take advantage for potential large returns.

Derek Farnsworth is off Corey Conners this week due to inflated DFS pricing at the RBC Heritage, despite Conners' impressive run of five consecutive top-20 finishes between API and The Masters. Farnsworth explained he typically prefers rostering Conners on tougher courses during the Florida swing and majors, especially at cheaper price tags. With Connors currently expensive and expected to carry elevated ownership at Harbour Town—a weaker fit compared to recent venues—Farnsworth advocates avoiding him in DFS at his current elevated valuation.

Brady Kannon highlights Corey Conners as a strong contender at the RBC Heritage due to his outstanding recent form, boasting five top-10 finishes in just 10 starts, including high-profile results such as sixth at the Players Championship, eighth at Valspar, and another eighth-place finish at the Masters. Additionally, Conners has valuable top-10 finishes at each of the correlated courses identified as predictive for Harbour Town, such as TPC Sawgrass, Sea Island and Innisbrook. Statistically, he leads the current field in Greens in Regulation gained over the past 36 rounds, and also ranks within the top 20 for hole proximity from 125-200 yards out, fitting the course demands well. Kannon recommends betting Conners to win outright as well as to record a top-10 finish.

Stewart recommended Corey Conners (+210), who arrives at RBC Heritage with exceptional recent consistency. Conners has four top-10 finishes in his last five starts, posting positive strokes gained across all major statistical categories during those events except for a minor putting performance hiccup at Valero. Stewart believes Harbour Town’s layout aligns ideally with Conners' current form, making him an appealing wager.
