Additionally, Weeks cited Woodland's strong course history—recording two top-10 finishes in his previous two starts at TPC San Antonio—as further support for betting Woodland to continue his strong play this week.

Cam DaSilva tabbed Gary Woodland as a strong top-10 candidate at the Valero Texas Open, leaning on his consistency at TPC San Antonio (sixth in 2021, eighth in 2022), and his runner-up finish in Houston the prior week, signaling his current excellent form.

Cody Williams identifies Gary Woodland as a valuable outright play due to Woodland's impressive recent tee-to-green form, gaining over 5.0 strokes T2G at both Houston and Phoenix. Woodland placed a strong T21 in Phoenix and finished Houston firing a final-round 62, showcasing excellent ball striking.

The strong match between Woodland's ball-striking skills and the course setup this week provides excellent betting value.

Big Nasty suggests betting Gary Woodland, recommending a top 40 (-120) or even top 20 finish (+210) at Valero Texas Open. Woodland recently returned to form after a significant absence due to brain surgery, evidenced by a T2 at the Houston Open and four top 40 finishes in eight tournaments this year. Big Nasty sees this week as an opportunity to capitalize before betting markets fully reflect Woodland's improving form, citing his positive trending trajectory and solid performance history at this course.

Guy Boston supports a bullish stance on Gary Woodland due in large part to recent standout ball striking and rapidly improving form. Woodland displayed peak performance in his latest tournament at the Houston Open, notably firing an excellent round four of eight under par to finish 18 under for his final three rounds combined. Boston emphasized Woodland’s elite ball speed, currently 15 yards longer than tour average, as a significant advantage at TPC San Antonio. Although he voiced mild concern about Woodland’s short game around the green, he confidently proclaimed Woodland as someone who 'would have won' the previous event had he not suffered a poor opening round. Historical performance at this event, including past finishes of T6 and T8, further raised Boston’s conviction in Woodland.

Gdula detailed Woodland's improvement in irons and putting during the event, recalling Woodland's historical strengths in tee-to-green play. He also noted that Woodland previously had three consecutive top-25s earlier this year, further reinforcing potential DFS value. Considering Woodland historically demonstrates high-level ball-striking, Gdula identified this price as appealing given his current and historical strengths.

Kim believes Woodland's reliable ball striking and improving putting make him ready to capture a win again, especially coming off recent momentum.

Matt Gannon strongly recommended fading Gary Woodland in DFS this week due to inflated pricing and overly enthusiastic public sentiment from last week's anomalous putting performance. Woodland gained over eight strokes putting at the Houston event, his single best putting week in recent years, driving public enthusiasm and expected chalky DFS ownership. Gannon highlighted how Woodland hasn't consistently performed well overall, cautioning against chasing recent outlier performances as they've historically resulted in disappointment more often than success, making Woodland a clear fade.

Rick Gehman warned fantasy players to approach Gary Woodland with caution at the Valero Texas Open, highlighting serious concerns about his recent putting surge. Woodland delivered a career-best putting performance (second-best ever gained strokes putting week) during the Houston Open. Gehman is strongly skeptical Woodland can replicate anywhere near this performance, expecting significant regression putting-wise. Considering DFS competitors might chase this recent high-end finish, Gehman sees Woodland as a textbook DFS trap and advised against ownership this week.

Pat Mayo expressed hesitation regarding Gary Woodland's prospects at Valero Texas Open, noting persistent struggles around the greens and putting woes plaguing Woodland's spring performance. Despite occasional decent performances, highlighted by solid second-round play at the recent Houston Open and decent overall approach numbers (most notably in Phoenix), Woodland has failed to consistently finish strong, achieving only one top-20 finish this year. Given these unaddressed short game vulnerabilities and lack of consistent high-end finishes, Mayo is steering clear of Woodland this week as a fantasy or betting selection.

Cameron DaSilva suggested considering Gary Woodland as a long-shot candidate at +12500 odds for the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open. Although Woodland has recently struggled and his performance has declined after an earlier strong start to this year, DaSilva pointed to his solid track record at Memorial Park. Woodland finished 21st and ninth in his last two starts here. DaSilva believes Woodland's familiarity and historical comfort at this venue offer promising upside at his greatly elevated odds.

Cam DaSilva identified Gary Woodland as an appealing +12500 underdog at Memorial Park this week, emphasizing Woodland's solid recent history at this event. Woodland's performance at Memorial Park has steadily improved over the past two years, carding a 21st-place finish in 2023 followed by ninth place last year. Although Woodland has recently cooled from his early-season form, DaSilva expects Woodland's prior success on this course to reignite him into contention, making these long odds excellent leverage for bettors.

Rick Gehman identified Gary Woodland as a viable option in the 6K range for DFS lineups at the Valspar Championship. Despite mixed recent performances, Gehman acknowledged Woodland's skill set as favorable for this course. At a competitive price of $6,900, Woodland offers potential value with his strong historic ball-striking abilities and could outperform his price point if the lineup construction allows for leverage.
