Matt Every labeled Rasmus Hojgaard a “stud” and said the 80-1 outright is fine, but he is locking in a top-20 wager instead. Every noted Hojgaard’s recent DP World Tour run has him gaining steadily with the driver and mid-irons, and he prefers Rasmus to twin Nicolai this week. Given the podcast’s earlier discussion that full-time DP players rarely crack the Genesis Scottish leaderboard, Every believes Hojgaard’s ceiling plus safer placement market returns make the top-20 bet the sharper play.

Reynolds fired on Rasmus Hojgaard at 80-1, citing a profile tailor-made for a calm, score-fest week. Hojgaard ranks eighth in driving distance on the PGA side, was runner-up (with twin brother Nicolai) at the Zurich Classic, and finished 10th at Renaissance in 2022. The trio of reachable par-5s plus generous fescue run-outs plays directly into his bomb-and-wedge skill-set. Reynolds acknowledged the Dane’s frustrating PGA Tour season but pointed out that motivation spikes here with three Open spots on the line. If his streaky putter shows up, Reynolds believes Hojgaard’s ceiling is equal to players half his price.

Gannon expects one of the Hojgaard twins to pop and singled out Rasmus as a ceiling play. The Dane can "send it off the tee" and pile birdies when irons catch fire. Short-game yips (he joked Rasmus chips like a 27-handicap) create volatility, but a wide-open Detroit layout minimizes around-the-green exposure, making Rasmus a live contender at low ownership.

Geoff Fienberg set the betting line on Danish representation for Bethpage at 0.5 players and advised taking the over because he expects ONE of the Hoygaards—most likely Rasmus—to make the side. Fienberg noted that Rasmus has slipped to sixth on the European Points list after a quiet spring, yet still owns the inside track to qualify automatically with a solid July run that includes the Scottish Open and The Open Championship. Even if he falls short on points, Fienberg believes Donald would favor Rasmus’ length (309-yard season-long driving average) and aggressive birdie rate (4.15 per round, 16th on the DP World Tour) over steadier but less explosive options like Victor Perez or Alexander Bjork. Because most books price both twins at plus odds in the ‘to make team’ markets, Fienberg suggested grabbing Rasmus now and parlaying it with Europe +1.5 matches in early Ryder Cup lines, arguing the team’s upside increases materially with a Hoygaard bombing drives off Bethpage’s massive tee boxes.

Jason Rouslin backed Rasmus Hojgaard to win his Round-1 three-ball over amateur Benjamin James and Stephan Jaeger. Rouslin noted that Hojgaard is simply playing the best golf of the trio right now and projects as the superior long-term talent. With neither James nor Jaeger showing current form that matches Hojgaard’s ball-striking, Rouslin assigned a confidence rating of 12/13 to the pick.

Blickle argued Rasmus Hojgaard remains one of the most mis-projected players in the pool. Three disastrous ShotLink events early in the season—Genesis, Players, Valspar—are still anchoring algorithms, but every other start shows positive strokes-gained across the board. Hojgaard’s 317-yard average carry and +0.45 SG:OTT make him a top-10 distance play, and the Dane already owns a DP World Tour Championship title plus multiple 62s in windy conditions. Blickle noted Hojgaard has displayed both par-save grit (even-par 72 at gusty Augusta) and birdie-barrage potential (seven circles in Round-3 at Houston) that fit any scoring environment Toronto might throw at him. With ownership projected under 7 % and pricing in the low $8K range, he sees Hojgaard as the ideal leverage in Rory or Pendrith chalk builds and a live outright at 50-1 if distance truly rules.

MacMillan’s preferred longshot is Rasmus Hojgaard at +7500. The Dane’s 320-yard average carry puts him in the top tier for driving distance, a must at TPC Toronto. While his season cooled after early T22 (Pebble) and T12 (Phoenix) finishes, he flashed again with a T23 at the elevated Truist Championship. MacMillan argues that if Hojgaard brings peak ball-striking he profiles as a perfect course fit in a field light on proven winners beyond the top handful of names.

Pat Mayo targeted Rasmus Hojgaard at +250 for a Top-30 finish, calling the number far too long given the bomber-friendly, rain-softened setup. Hojgaard’s elite ball speed – he averaged 184 mph on the DP World Tour this spring – should shorten the par-5s and long par-4s, and softer fairways mitigate his occasional wild miss. Mayo noted the Dane’s recent form has steadied after an early-season lull when he was being priced as a borderline favorite; sliding back into mid-tier odds now offers a buy-low window. With a projected winning score around −14, Mayo believes sheer distance coupled with improved GIR rates gives Rasmus a strong path to a T15-T25 result that comfortably cashes the +250 ticket.

Elliott Heath labeled Rasmus Hojgaard a worthy flyer at +22000 because Quail Hollow should play soft after recent rain and reward length. The Dane ranks 8th in driving distance on the PGA Tour and just led the Truist Championship field in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee while finishing 6th Around the Green. Heath conceded Hojgaard’s irons and putter are streaky but reminded readers he is a five-time DP World Tour winner who edged Rory McIlroy at last year’s Irish Open and nearly repeated at the DP World Tour Championship. A T32 at the Masters and T23 at the Truist show current form, and Heath thinks another strong week could even bolster his Ryder Cup case.

MacMillain endorsed the Hoygaard twins as high-ceiling, low-floor dart throws but leaned toward Rasmus for Quail Hollow. He pointed out Rasmus is the longer of the two off the tee, aligning better with the course’s length, while Nikolai is the superior putter. Bettors hunting deep odds or cheap DFS salary relief can look to Rasmus in top-20 markets or large-field tournaments knowing the volatility risk.

Bo McBrayer called Rasmus Hojgaard a stolen 110-1 ticket, citing the Dane’s five straight worldwide top-20s and a 4.6-birdies-per-round average during that run. Hojgaard sits 9th in strokes-gained off-the-tee on the DP World Tour but, more importantly for Wissahickon, has gained strokes with wedges in eight consecutive starts. McBrayer reminded listeners Hojgaard fired a final-round 61 at the Omega Masters on similar elevation-change greens, demonstrating the ‘go-super-duper-low’ ceiling required for a projected −30 finish. He suggested sprinkling top-20 and FRL bets in addition to outrights.

Alex Blickle said Rasmus Hojgaard becomes an immediate betting and DFS target if he slides into the Truist Championship field via the Aon Swing-Five. Hojgaard averages north of 310 yards in carry distance, giving him the length to take the same ‘fly-the-bunker’ lines that everyone has been raving about at Philadelphia Cricket. Blickle compared the Dane to Cam Davis—wildly volatile but capable of winning any week his ball-striking clicks—and noted that a Swing-Five qualification would prove he is already in form. Because bombers are projected to gain a full stroke per round off the tee on this setup, Blickle plans to fire outrights at 60-1 or longer and jam Hojgaard into GPP line-ups that are stacking pure distance.

Shane Bacon told listeners to leave Rasmus Hojgaard off their outright and DFS lists for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson because last week’s Zurich Classic grind left the twin gassed. Bacon likened their 72-hole sprint in New Orleans to a bachelor-party bender—emotional, exhausting, and not something you bounce back from in three days. With TPC Craig Ranch historically demanding 25-plus under to win, Bacon doubts Rasmus can summon the fresh legs or focus required to keep pace, especially given his nonexistent course history. The advice: fade him in outright, top-20, and DFS player pools and pivot to better-rested bombers.

Derek Farnsworth selected Rasmus Hojgaard as an upside DFS consideration, likely at lower ownership after recent struggles. Despite Farnsworth noting prior disappointments with Hojgaard, he highlights this pick as a high-upside, contrarian tournament option, banking on the golfer's potential to significantly outperform expectations if his volatile game clicks this week. Farnsworth emphasizes this week's venue, Memorial Park, particularly suits a player like Hojgaard who can dominate when playing well.
