Len Hochberg identified Danny Willett as an underrated DFS value pick at only $6,400 for Texas Children's Houston Open. Despite Willett's struggles with approach play, ranking poorly in this stat category, he compensates significantly in critical areas, leading the PGA Tour this season in SG: Around-the-Green and ranking twentieth in SG: Putting. These strengths lift him into a top-five standing for bogey avoidance. With Willett already finding success earlier this year at similarly demanding tracks like Torrey Pines, Hochberg sees him as an overlooked, high-upside value for DFS rosters.

Keith Stewart was intrigued by Danny Willett as an unexpected DFS option for the Houston Open, acknowledging that Willett currently ranks high in specific key areas critical for success at this venue—long iron play, chipping, and putting. Stewart pointed out that these are precisely the skills that propelled Willett's past success at Augusta National, a similar course demanding precise lag putting and scrambling. Despite Willett's lack of course history at Memorial Park, Stewart argued his elite proficiency with these three skills makes Willett particularly intriguing in DFS lineups.

John Haslbauer sees immense outright betting and DFS value in Danny Willett as a 750-to-1 longshot at the 2025 Valspar Championship. Haslbauer argued that Willett's recent form—which includes four top-40 finishes in his last six starts and a T9 at the Farmers Insurance Open—is significantly better than past Valspar winner Peter Malnati had entering his victory. Willett’s expertise in scrambling and bogey avoidance should prove advantageous given expected challenging weather conditions this week. Given his short game strengths matching the demands of the course, Willett stands out as a high-upside, low-risk option both as an outright bet and in DFS top-40 placements.
