Steve Palmer highlights Matti Schmid as a valuable bet each-way at 45-1 odds to capture his first PGA Tour win at the Corales Puntacana Championship. Palmer notes Schmid’s strong track record at lower-profile island events, featuring top results at both the Bermuda Championship (3rd place), where conditions mirror those at Puntacana, and the Puerto Rico Open (top-ten finishes twice). Schmid notably garnered an 11th-place finish at this same course last year, reinforcing his affinity for tropical locations. Palmer views Schmid’s consistent performances in these wind-affected coastal venues as an excellent indicator he can contend seriously this week.

Byron Lindeque endorsed Matti Schmid as an appealing DFS play at only $7000, despite his inconsistency and notably poor performance in round three of tournaments. Schmid frequently excels early in events, gaining strokes consistently in rounds one and two, but then severely underperforms his baseline in the third round, especially struggling in short game metrics. However, he has proven capable of rebounding unexpectedly strong in final rounds. Lindeque specifically mentioned Schmid's effective scoring at very difficult ('hellish') courses, suggesting these conditions at Memorial Park may suit him. Considering low price and demonstrated upside despite late-week volatility, Matti Schmid makes a worthy DFS play in Lindeque's view.

Pat Perry flagged Matti Schmid at +450 odds as an attractive top-20 longshot bet this week. Schmid, who finished T21 at Memorial Park last year and recently secured a top 20 at the Cognizant, is ranked 18th in the bet the number model. While Schmid's scrambling is a bit of a concern, Perry believes his overall profile and recent form make him worth consideration given the high payout odds.

Brian Kirschner recommends Matti Schmid for a Top 40 finish at +150 odds, highlighting his balanced play lately, finishing 18th, 6th, and 28th in three of his last four events. Schmid gained strokes in all four major statistical categories last week and previously placed 21st here last year, demonstrating an ideal profile to have another solid finish this week.

Pat Mayo advised betters not to invest in Matti Schmid despite acknowledging occasional bright spots, including a 21st place finish here a year ago. His extreme inconsistency—a pattern alternating missed cuts with decent finishes—and recent failure at The Players Championship make Schmid a poor trust candidate this week. Mayo highlighted that Schmid primarily relies on spike putting weeks, and with severely erratic approach statistics and poor all-around consistency, he's likely to disappoint bettors who chase his potential upside.

Pat Mayo sees Matti Schmid as the better selection at even money in the German nationality market, facing Stephan Jaeger. Mayo highlighted that Jaeger historically struggles at Sawgrass due to his reliance on scrambling and inaccuracy off the tee. In contrast, Mayo noted that Schmid typically excels on Pete Dye-designed courses, and is coming off a strong showing in Puerto Rico, giving him an edge in the direct matchup against Jaeger.
