Matt Vincenzi pivoted to Garrick Higgo at 9-1 to be Low Lefty, calling it a "minerals" play after re-running his model. Higgo ranks fourth in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee and fifth in Total Driving over the last 24 rounds, pairing 320-yard carry numbers with above-average accuracy—an ideal profile for a soft Valhalla expected to turn into a bomber’s paradise. Vincenzi prefers Higgo to favorites Akshay Bhatia and Brian Harman, noting Bhatia’s nagging shoulder and Harman’s lack of distance. He also dismissed Robert MacIntyre, who has lost 0.4 SG: Approach per round in his past five starts. Higgo has already shown he can capitalize on driver-wedge tracks, winning at Congaree and finishing top-10 at the soft, lengthy Vidanta layout. With his long-iron prowess and comfort on bentgrass greens, Vincenzi believes Higgo offers the best combination of ceiling and price among the left-handed contingent and is locking in the 9-1 before books shorten it.

Parker also grabbed Garrick Higgo and Ryan Fox Top 20 at +150 on FanDuel. The duo finished T4 last year, and Higgo logged another T4 here in 2022 with a different partner. Higgo arrives fresh off a win at the Corales Puntacana, while Fox, a four‑time DP World Tour champ, is above average this season in adjusted scoring and birdie average. Parker noted their "ham‑and‑egg" chemistry and expects another strong showing at TPC Louisiana.

Polzin highlighted Garrick Higgo and Ryan Fox as a ceiling‑chasing play at both 30‑to‑1 outrights and sub‑$9k DFS salaries. Higgo enters with seven consecutive made cuts and last week’s win, ranking 4th in recent‑form average and 5th in Zurich course history in the 9‑to‑5 model. Fox, while an older globetrotting pro, still sits mid‑pack in strokes‑gained tee‑to‑green and offers enough steadiness to keep them afloat during Friday foursomes. Polzin concedes the typical ‘post‑win hangover’ concern but argues the team format eases that mental drain. He has them graded as a top‑10 overall team and a perfect GPP pivot off chalky Rory/Lowry builds, projecting 25% win equity relative to price.

Higo’s win in Punta Cana ruined the price break but did not dampen Gehman’s enthusiasm for a Fox–Higo stack. The South African had been trending: 12th at Porto Rico, 3rd at Club Car, and finally a W last week. Fox complements him perfectly, ranking among the Tour’s top drivers in both distance and birdie opportunities gained. Gehman thinks Fox’s ‘absolute masher’ profile sets up birdie looks in best‑ball, while Higgo's improving iron play keeps them afloat in alternate‑shot. Even with elevated ownership, their ceiling and multiple pathways to scoring make them worth keeping in core builds.

Parker recommended betting Garrick Higgo and Ryan Fox at +4000, pointing to a blend of sizzling form and proven chemistry. The South African‑Kiwi tandem finished T4 at last year’s Zurich, and Higgo also grabbed a T4 here in 2023 alongside Branden Grace. Higgo arrives hot after winning the Corales Puntacana Championship last week, while Fox carries four DP World Tour titles and sits above tour average in both adjusted scoring and birdie average. Parker believes those complementary skill sets allow them to ‘ham‑and‑egg’ their way to another top‑tier finish—and possibly an outright victory—on a course that historically rewards aggressive birdie makers in Four‑ball and steady ball‑striking in Foursomes.

Jacobs’ each‑way play is Higgo/Fox at 28/1. Higgo arrives red‑hot after winning the Corales, placing 12th in Puerto Rico, and finishing 3rd on the Korn Ferry Tour, all in the last month. With a fresh two‑year PGA Tour exemption he can swing freely. The duo finished 4th here last year despite Higgo entering off a missed cut, so the upside is obvious. Fox is trending again—T20 at the Players and T15 Houston where he started Sunday in 3rd—after opening his season with a 10th in Dubai. Both are long off the tee and capable of going ultra‑low in four‑ball sessions. Jacobs expects the confidence boost for Higgo and Fox’s recent ball‑striking to translate into an even better finish than 2024.
