Pamela Maldonado likes Corey Conners as a strong top-20 bet (+155) at the 2025 Masters Tournament. She noted a significant improvement in Conners' putting and short game this season, contrasting with previous dependency purely on ballstriking. His iron play remains steady, and despite missing the cut and finishing T38 in his last two Augusta appearances, Conners previously had three consecutive top-10 finishes at the Masters. Maldonado highlighted softer greens from Friday's forecasted rain as beneficial to Conners' precise iron play, easing the demand on his putter. With recent top-20 finishes against strong fields and solid recent form tee-to-green, Conners emerges as an ideal candidate for a top-20 wager.

Derek Farnsworth is confident about Corey Conners as his preferred chalk DFS selection. Farnsworth cited Conners' exceptional and consistent ball-striking history as strongly aligning with the demands of Augusta National. Though typically skeptical of crowded DFS selections, he explicitly designated Conners as the 'favorite chalk play' indicating a high degree of confidence in his stability and suitability as an integral DFS play.

Neil Parker loves betting Corey Conners as the top Canadian at +105 odds on DraftKings, citing Conners' impressive history at Augusta National—three consecutive top-10 finishes followed by a rebound T-38 last year which included strong stroke-gain numbers in approach and putting. Neil prominently highlighted Conners’ blazing recent form, entering Augusta with four straight top-10 finishes and ranking third in the field in true strokes-gained tee-to-green during his recent surge. Neil also suggested Conners as a sneaky outright long-shot pick and noted that Canadian sportsbooks frequently offer boosted odds promotions specifically on Conners. He views Conners as a particularly valuable betting pick this weekend.

Rick Gehman is very high on Corey Conners for the Masters, pointing out that Conners is quietly playing some of the best golf of his career. Conners has gained at least seven strokes tee-to-green in four consecutive events, highlighted by a strong T18 finish at the Valero Texas Open. Augusta National has been historically good to him as well; Conners had three straight top-10 Masters finishes (T10, T8, T6) from 2020 to 2022. Despite a missed cut in 2023, he rebounded last year to a respectable T38. Gehman argues that with Conners playing his career-best golf and a solid Augusta track record, he is significantly undervalued at only $7,900 for DFS lineups.

Betting analyst Neil Parker sees Corey Conners as an enticing sleeper pick for the 2025 Masters, highlighting Conners' impressive tee-to-green game and proven performance at Augusta National. Conners previously earned three consecutive Masters top-10 finishes before an uncharacteristic missed cut in 2023, bouncing back with a solid T38 finish in 2024 where he gained strokes both on approach and on the greens. Coming into Augusta this year, Conners is riding outstanding form, having compiled four consecutive top-10 finishes while gaining true strokes across all five metrics. Crucially, he currently ranks third in this field in true strokes gained tee-to-green. Parker also considers the possibility of odds boosts on Conners, potentially offering even greater betting value at the listed +6000 odds. This blend of elite recent form, positive course history at Augusta, and likely enhanced betting odds boosts makes Conners a valuable sleeper selection per Parker.

Sean Fairholm recommended taking Corey Conners (+115) as the top Canadian at the Masters, believing the odds undervalue him given weak competition—his competitors include Taylor Pendrith, Nick Taylor, and ceremonial entrant Mike Weir. Conners' record at Augusta is impressive, with three career top-10 finishes at the Masters, and currently ranks a strong No. 13 on Data Golf. Fairholm believes Conners should be significantly favored (-odds), making the plus-odds a steal.

Dennis Esser supports playing Corey Conners ($7,900) in DFS lineups, citing remarkable consistency tee-to-green (over 6.8 strokes gained in each of his last four tournaments). Conners notably had three consecutive top-10 finishes at Augusta from 2020-2022, greatly bolstering confidence he can once again linger atop the leaderboard thanks to recent improvements in putting performances.

Pat Mayo strongly advised against betting Corey Conners as top Canadian at Augusta, calling out Conners' perceived outstanding Masters history as extremely overblown in betting markets. Mayo emphasized that after Conners' early hot start at Augusta, he's significantly regressed, notably finishing 38th and missing the cut in his most recent appearances. Mayo labeled Conners as severely overpriced based on outdated narrative rather than recent performance, and instead prefers Nick Taylor at better odds, highlighting Taylor's proven tournament-winning upside compared to Conners' inability to close.

Bo McBrayer expressed serious concerns about Corey Conners' prospects at Augusta due to his notoriously poor short game. Despite acknowledging Conners as a 'surgeon with the iron' who has posted three top 10s in his last four events, McBrayer pointed out his fundamental liabilities on and around the greens. He highlighted specific weaknesses including both atrocious putting and chipping, noting these are massive issues at the Masters, where short-siding oneself or leaving approach shots above the hole can spell disaster. McBrayer concluded it'd require an almost impossible 72-hole iron play heater for Conners to realistically contend, recommending bettors avoid him for outrights despite recent solid form.

Adam Burke recommended Corey Conners as a viable first-round leader selection at the Masters Tournament 2025, given Conners' proven history in opening round performance and current form. Although inconsistent with his putting, Conners ranked top 10 in strokes gained total following Thursday's round in both 2022 and 2024 Masters editions. Moreover, Conners is currently in good shape, having recorded four top-10 finishes and five straight top-25 placements leading up to the tournament. His first-round leader price is pegged at 45/1 by DraftKings, offering enticing value should he find consistency on Augusta's greens on day one.

Brandon Gdula likes Corey Conners as an under-the-radar DFS choice. Conners enters The Masters priced affordably at $9800, coming off a 38th place finish following a missed cut. However, prior to that, his Masters history included elite finishes of 6th, 8th, and 10th, largely driven by exceptional tee-to-green performances. Gdula emphasized that Conners' tee-to-green play presently remains extremely strong, fitting perfectly with Augusta National's key statistical profile.

David Barnett advocated strongly for betting Corey Conners at +120 odds as the top-performing Canadian at Augusta this year. He acknowledges both Taylor Pendrith’s potent upside and Nick Taylor's unpredictability, but believes Conners clear Augusta credentials and reliable record set him apart as an ideal choice for this specific nationality-based prop bet. Veteran Mike Weir, according to Barnett, is effectively a non-factor in this competitive trio. Therefore, the plus-money odds on Conners finishing as the top Canadian represent substantial betting value.

David Barnett enthusiastically endorsed Corey Conners for a top-10 finish at Augusta at +400, labeling it 'unbelievably good value.' Barnett highlighted Conners' robust experience at Augusta, specifically citing past consistently high finishes. He previously emphasized (in earlier segments) Conners’ recent improvement in putting alongside strong iron play. At these generous odds, Barnett confidently identified Conners as a standout top-10 choice with both strong likelihood and notable payout opportunity.

David Barnett passionately backed Corey Conners as a standout outright bet to win the Masters. Emphasizing recent improvements in Conners' putting game over the last four starts—combined with a stellar Augusta course record—Barnett enthusiastically advocated for betting Corey Conners outright at the current price of 65-to-1 odds. Having secured Conners at even better odds (80-to-1) weeks ago, Barnett expressed particular confidence, saying he'd still bet him even at odds of 50-to-1. Barnett further noted Conners' imminent top-10 finish in Texas, reinforcing his belief that Conners is headed into Augusta in peak form and represents tremendous betting value.

Neil Parker recommends betting on Corey Conners as the top Canadian finisher at the Masters, citing his impressive current form that includes four consecutive Top-10 finishes. Conners enters Augusta National riding hot momentum in true strokes gained across the board, particularly ranking third in this Masters field in strokes gained tee-to-green. Despite previous mixed results here, Parker believes Conners is positioned perfectly for success this time around.

Wes Reynolds highlighted Corey Conners as an underrated play at Augusta, noting Conners' impressive history with three Top-10 finishes over his last five Masters appearances—including T-6th in 2022. Reynolds emphasized Conners' elite ball striking—long recognized as one of the best on the PGA TOUR—but expressed cautious optimism due to improved putting metrics. Conners currently ranks 60th in Strokes Gained: Putting, a significant improvement considering he's never previously finished higher than 112th. Given that Conners comes in with six Top-8 finishes in his last 10 worldwide starts, including third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational earlier this season, Reynolds believes that if Conners' putting holds steady, he can strongly contend for the green jacket as a dark horse candidate.

Oddspedia highlighted Corey Conners as a strong sleeper candidate at the 2025 Masters, noting his impressive recent run on the PGA Tour. Conners has registered three consecutive top-eight finishes leading up to the tournament, positioning him among the hottest golfers on tour right now. His current form and recent consistency indicate excellent value at his current betting odds (+6600).

Pat Mayo highly recommended Corey Conners as a strong DFS selection at the 2025 Masters. Mayo repeatedly emphasized how frequently Conners emerged at the top ranks of strokes gained off-the-tee at Augusta over recent years. Mayo identified Conners multiple times as a consistent driving standout at the Masters alongside golfers like Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy. Given Augusta National's clear historical rewards for consistently excellent driving, Mayo sees Conners' reliable tee-to-green skill as a critical strength for DFS players seeking dependable options to anchor lineups.

David Barnett emphasizes Corey Conners as worthwhile chalk to roster in DFS despite high expected ownership. Barnett cites Conners' exceptional form, including a current T8 performance at the Valero Texas Open, and his consistently high floor due to accurate ball striking prowess. Conners has historically performed reliably at Augusta National, and Barnett points out Conners' DFS popularity is underscored by strong recent movement in the outright betting market, where odds have significantly shortened from 80-1 to 60-1.

Mike McClure highlighted Corey Conners as showing compelling value at his current outright price of around 66-1 but made a stronger recommendation for betting him in top-20 and DFS markets. Conners has proven excellent at Augusta, and McClure cited this consistent positive course history, seeing significant potential in betting markets offering around +200 for a top-20 finish. He emphasized targeting Conners more actively in top-20 markets due to likelihood of a strong but not winning performance at the Masters.

Mike McClure supported the idea of targeting Corey Conners in DFS formats for the Masters, describing Conners as a golfer who consistently plays better than expected at Augusta National. Conners has recorded three top-10 finishes at Augusta, an elite record that showcases his steady and reliable course fit. However, McClure cautioned against betting Conners outright given the field strength, preferring exposure through DFS lineups instead. He believes Conners' value may be overlooked relative to higher-profile players, potentially providing differentiation in fantasy contests.

Matt Gannon praised Corey Conners' remarkable recent form, emphasizing Conners' excellent back-to-back top-10 finishes (including TPC San Antonio), combined with Augusta National's strong historical record. Although he slightly preferred Daniel Berger in head-to-head comparison, Gannon confidently stated Conners is positioned perfectly to carry this form into the Masters, potentially delivering outstanding returns especially in top-10 betting markets rather than outright win bets.

Pat Mayo advises fading Corey Conners at his likely high DFS ownership for the Masters, especially if Conners posts a strong finish at the Valero Texas Open prior to The Masters. Mayo points out that after Conners' three straight top-10 finishes earlier at Augusta, he's recently been disappointing, finishing 38th and then missing the cut the past two years. Despite Conners' favorable DFS price and anticipated popularity, Mayo considers him a clear fade given his declining recent history at the course.

Eric Polzin suggests Corey Conners as a straightforward DraftKings selection, noting his affordable salary and excellent recent form. Conners enters Augusta with three consecutive top-10 finishes (8th, 6th, 3rd) and Polzin highlighted his strong Masters history, including two top-10 results in his last three appearances (8th and 6th place finishes). While Conners ranks only moderately as a top-20 statistical fit currently, the value provided by his low salary, promising recent form, and historical Augusta performances comfortably justifies his inclusion in tournament lineups, according to Polzin.

Bob Weeks highlighted Corey Conners as a solid pick to win the Valero Texas Open at +1600 odds. Weeks emphasized Conners' strong recent form, pointing out that he has recorded three consecutive top-10 finishes entering the tournament. He also noted Conners' exceptional course history at TPC San Antonio, having captured both of his PGA Tour victories at this event. Weeks credited Conners' recent improvement on the greens, complementing his consistently stellar ball-striking, as a key reason he's trending towards another potential win.

Ryan Andrade is heavily bullish on Corey Conners for this week's Valero Texas Open, highlighting his exceptional recent form and outstanding course history as factors. Conners finished 3rd, T6, and T8 in his last three starts, gaining strokes across all categories but especially with impressive numbers off the tee and on approach. Andrade emphasized Conners' strengths in mid-to-long iron proximities, fitting perfectly at TPC San Antonio, a course that typically requires longer approaches. Conners is also seeking his third career victory at this particular event, solidifying confidence in making him a cornerstone DFS selection this week.

Joe Champion recommended backing Corey Conners (+1600) at the Valero Texas Open due to his exceptional history at TPC San Antonio and strong recent performance. Conners, a two-time winner at this venue (2019, 2023), first triumphed when ranked 196th in the world, highlighting his affinity for the course. Champion noted Conners' solid recent finishes—third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, sixth at the Players Championship, and eighth at the Valspar Championship—and emphasized his improved putting, historically his Achilles heel. Given his exemplary tee-to-green game and newfound confidence on the greens, Conners is poised to contend seriously again.

Brandon Gdula highlighted Corey Conners likely as a consideration given his consistent success at TPC San Antonio, including a win in 2023 and strong recent finishes. Conners' past performances at this course—25th, 1st, 35th, and 14th—are supported by exceptional strokes gained data (1.91 SG per round at this venue). His consistent elite tee-to-green play aligns perfectly with TPC San Antonio, whose recent seven winners all ranked top-five tee-to-green during their victories. This makes Conners a reliable DFS cornerstone and outright betting option at +1600 odds.

Casey Johnston selects Corey Conners (+1600) to win the Valero Texas Open based on Conners' exceptional course history, with his two career TOUR victories both coming at this venue, including as recently as 2023. Conners enters with three consecutive top-10 finishes, displaying remarkable consistency. Johnston sees these factors aligning perfectly for Conners to emerge victorious again.

Chris Durell stated Corey Conners is his top outright bet for the Valero Texas Open. Conners enters with ideal conditions for success, holding exceptional course history at TPC San Antonio's Oaks Course, including two victories (2020 and 2023) and never finishing worse than 35th in six trips. Statistically, he's second only to Jordan Spieth in career Strokes Gained: Total here. Conners is also riding excellent recent form with three consecutive Top 10s heading into the event, gaining over 7 strokes tee-to-green in each of those starts. Notably, his typically shaky putter is hot right now, further adding confidence to betting him outright.

Big Nasty is bullish on Corey Conners at the Valero Texas Open, highlighting his stellar course history. Corey's resume in this event is remarkable—two wins and four additional top 25 finishes. Given the weaker field (missing top stars like Rory, Scottie, Xander, Morikawa), Big Nasty believes getting Conners at near even money (-105) for a top 20 finish offers great value, suggesting that the betting market still hasn't fully adjusted to Corey Conners' prowess at this particular venue.

Guy Boston emphasized Corey Conners as a strong selection for the Valero Texas Open, pointing to his exceptional blend of recent form and course history. Conners has posted impressive results during the 2025 season, including 3rd at Arnold Palmer Invitational, T6 at The Players Championship, and T8 at Valspar Championship. Boston specifically highlighted Conners' consistent strokes gained metrics approach, around the green, and off the tee as a great fit for how this course typically plays. Conners also has historically thrived at this event, having won in 2019 and consistently performed well (T14, T35, T25 finishes). The combination of his current form and track record on this course makes Conners a standout pick despite the course emphasizing more driving distance than accuracy.

Jim Sannes cautioned against Corey Conners despite acknowledging his excellent current form and exceptional course history at Valero Texas Open, where he secured his only two PGA Tour victories in 2019 and 2023. Sannes' central concern is about the betting and DFS pricing position. Conners is priced at 16 to 1 odds—shorter than betting favorites like Fleetwood, Cantlay, and Spieth—and commands a DFS salary of $11,800 on FanDuel. Sannes views the high betting odds and DFS price as fully accounting for Conners' positives already, leaving little room for value.

Brandon Gdula highlighted Corey Conners' elite T-to-Green skill and strong course history at TPC San Antonio, finishing 25th, 1st, 35th, and 14th in recent years. Conners ranks consistently high in strokes gained T-to-Green, a key metric historically critical for success at this tournament—as all of the past seven winners ranked top-five in T-to-Green that week. He also enters in excellent recent form, placing top-24 in four straight events, including top-10s at prestigious tournaments such as Genesis, Arnold Palmer Invitational, The Players Championship, and Valspar.

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.

David Barnett identified Corey Conners as his lock outright bet at the Valero Texas Open due to strong betting value at 18/1 odds. Barnett's confidence stems from Conners' proven track record at TPC San Antonio, including a previous victory. He emphasized Conners' consistent swing mechanics and reliable ball striking as ideal traits aligning well with the tournament conditions. Additionally, Barnett reinforced his stance by highlighting historical tournament tendencies where players not previously qualified for the Masters often succeed at the Valero, further enhancing Conners' betting appeal.

Steve Bamford strongly recommended betting Corey Conners at the Valero Texas Open, citing multiple compelling reasons. Conners' game aligns perfectly with the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio, as evidenced by his victories at this course in 2019 and 2023. His strengths—particularly tee-to-green play and precision driving—fit the profile of a Valero winner perfectly. Recent form supports this thesis, as Conners produced consistent top-10 finishes at tough events including 3rd at Bay Hill, 6th at TPC Sawgrass, and 8th at the Copperhead course. Across these events, his robust tee-to-green stats (ranked 5th, 12th, and 8th respectively) and positive performances across all Strokes Gained metrics (including putting) indicate he's in great form and ready to compete.

Pat Fitzmaurice selects Corey Conners as his one-and-done pick at the Valero Texas Open, highlighting Conners as a proven winner specifically at this event, claiming titles at TPC San Antonio in the past. Despite Conners being labeled previously as overpriced in betting markets due to stronger field competition, Fitzmaurice trusts his prior success and proficiency at this venue to deliver significant earnings this week.

Bo McBrayer cautioned against betting Corey Conners at the Valero Texas Open despite his previous two wins at TPC San Antonio. McBrayer explained that Conners' victories came against weaker fields before the tournament was positioned directly preceding The Masters, a change causing significantly stronger competition. He pointed out Conners' pervasive weaknesses around the greens, emphasizing Conners must rely exclusively on elite ball striking to win. Given the upgraded tournament field, he considers Conners overpriced and likely to underperform his 18-1 odds.

Derek Farnsworth advocated strongly for Corey Conners due to his extensive history of success at the Valero Texas Open. Conners, a previous two-time winner here, consistently performs well at this course and similar ones during this stretch of the golfing calendar. Farnsworth specifically referenced Conners' historical excellent form at this event as well as other crucial events like the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Farnsworth plans to continue rostering Conners this week and next week at Augusta, citing his tendency to peak during this portion of the PGA Tour schedule.

Kenny Kim discussed strategy considerations around using Corey Conners in DFS lineups for Valero, emphasizing how international player shortages in certain formats affect roster decisions. Kim recalled previous difficulties running short of international stars late in the season, such as Viktor Hovland and Sungjae Im. He explicitly reflected upon whether saving Conners for a later tournament would be wiser than expending him this week, underscoring strategic long-term considerations.

Byron Lindeque identified Corey Conners as an ideal top-10 betting staple rather than aiming outright or top-five markets. Byron noted historically, betting Conners to finish top-10 consistently outperformed other markets financially. Conners regularly lands inside the top-10, evidenced by his profitable results in recent notable tournaments like The Players and Arnold Palmer Invitational. Given Byron's analysis showing strong historical betting profitability specifically in top-10 markets, he recommended taking Conners at +187 odds for the Valero Texas Open.

Kenny Kim recommended betting Corey Conners at 25-to-1 odds with three places at the Valero Texas Open, highlighting multiple factors supporting this selection. Conners enters with excellent form, recording three consecutive top-10 finishes where he's gained almost 24 strokes tee-to-green in those events. Additionally, he's already demonstrated the ability to win at TPC San Antonio twice previously, providing confidence in his suitability to the course. Kim noted Conners’ strong recent play and specifically cited his statistical prowess from tee-to-green as clear indicators of potential success here.

Matt Gannon strongly endorsed Corey Conners despite expected DFS chalk ownership. Conners comes into the event in top form, riding three straight top-10 finishes, and arrives at a course he has won twice. Gannon underscored Conners' predictable fairway-and-greens style that uniquely matches this venue. While skeptical of outright upside, Gannon confidently expects at least a top-10 finish, validating paying up for Conners' DFS price tag and offsetting ownership elsewhere in lineups.

Eric Polzin emphasized Corey Conners’ strong history at the Texas Open as reason for optimism this week. Conners, the 2022 Valero champion and two-time winner overall at this event, enters in superb form, achieving recent finishes of 8th, 6th, and 3rd. He’s ranked top-10 statistically, featuring strong results in birdie-bogey ratio, tee-to-green play, and par-4 scoring. Despite being slightly expensive, Polzin strongly advocates including Conners—for DFS and betting purposes—as a dependable high-upside play, finding his 18-1 odds attractive.

Rick Gehman recommended caution with Corey Conners at the Valero Texas Open, despite Conners' strong recent form that includes three consecutive top-8 finishes. Gehman acknowledged Conners' outstanding track record at TPC San Antonio, a course on which he has two wins and has never missed a cut. However, Gehman raised concerns regarding Conners' elevated DFS price and popularity, noting historically Conners hasn't performed particularly well as one of the most expensive options on DraftKings. With similarly priced Patrick Cantlay available and solid lower-priced plays offering better value, Gehman stressed he plans to take a stance by having less exposure than the field on Conners, believing this setup diminishes his overall appeal.

Jack Milko picked Corey Conners to win the Valspar Championship, highlighting his excellent recent form on challenging Florida courses. Conners has posted impressive results over the last two weeks, finishing solo third at Bay Hill and tied for 6th at a brutally tough TPC Sawgrass. Despite difficult scoring conditions, Conners managed eight rounds under par during this period, an exceptional achievement considering Bay Hill and Sawgrass recorded average rounds above par. Specifically at The Players, Conners gained nearly six strokes off the tee, ranking 3rd in that category. His strength is accuracy and ball striking—19th on tour in driving accuracy, and 32nd on tour in greens in regulation. Milko pointed out Conners also ranked third in strokes gained approach in 2024. While Conners's primary weakness lies in his short game, particularly putting and chipping mistakes seen at Sawgrass, Milko believes Conners will overcome those issues this week. Conners has a history of good performance at the Valspar Championship, finishing T-16 in 2018 and T-21 in 2021, providing further basis for Milko's prediction of a victory this week at +3500 odds on FanDuel.

Alex Hunter describes Corey Conners as a must-play in cash games due to his outstanding recent form during the Florida swing. Conners finished T3rd at Arnold Palmer Invitational and T6th at THE PLAYERS Championship, gaining strokes in all four major categories each event and shooting under par in all eight rounds played. Hunter points out the similar demands on ball striking at Copperhead Course, aligning nicely with Conners' strengths. Conners' only prior start at Valspar resulted in a solid T21 finish, and he currently ranks 11 spots higher in world golf rankings compared to that time, supporting Hunter's belief in Conners strongly contending for another top-10 finish this week.

John Schwarb recommended Corey Conners at +3500 odds to win the Valspar Championship, citing great value due to recent strong performances. Conners had an impressive T6 at The Players Championship and third-place finish at Bay Hill. Schwarb noted Conners ranks 28th in strokes-gained off-the-tee, a key success indicator at Copperhead, enhancing the appeal of the bet given the favorable odds compared to other books.

Pat Perry highlighted Corey Conners as a prime candidate for a strong performance at the Valspar Championship, priced at 25 to 1. Conners, with recent top finishes—a third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and sixth at The Players Championship—has been consistently showcasing his elite ball-striking abilities. Perry pointed out that Conners' struggles primarily lie with the putter, and should he iron out those issues, this tournament's setup—which suits Conners' style—offers a promising opportunity for success. Given Conners' history of peaking around this time of year, Perry believes he is due for a notable showing.

Casey Johnston sees Corey Conners as a strong candidate at +2500 to win, rooted in his hot streak with a third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a T6 at THE PLAYERS Championship. Johnston notes Conners' superb performance in the current season's opening events.
