Pat Mayo highlighted Taylor Moore as having strong potential at the Valero Texas Open, provided he plays after his unexpected WD from Houston. Mayo noted Moore ranks 10th in good drives gained — critical at TPC San Antonio. Despite previous lineup damage caused by Moore's last-minute withdrawal, Mayo underscored Moore's statistical strengths and stressed that this is Moore's only remaining shot at securing a Masters invite. Mayo remains optimistic, advising prudent monitoring of Moore's status for potential fantasy and betting upside.

Matt Brown backed Taylor Moore outright, elaborating that Moore appeared excellent in his statistical models despite some shaky iron play. Brown pointed out Moore’s strong off-the-tee metrics, around-the-green skills, tee-to-green performance, and driving distance (ranked 20th in the field over the last 50 rounds). Additionally, Moore has posted good finishes (T9 at Phoenix, T7 at the Amex), suggesting he thrives at longer courses similar to Memorial Park, mitigating concerns about his inconsistent approach play.

Len Hochberg recommended Taylor Moore as an appealing sleeper DFS pick at $7,900 for the Houston Open, citing Moore's strong runner-up finish a year ago at Memorial Park Golf Course. Moore's course history, combined with his solid current form—seven of nine cuts made and two top-10 finishes in weaker field events—solidifies his DFS value. Additionally, Moore ranks within the top-20 in Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee and Around-the-Green, and top-10 in par-5 birdie or better percentage, fitting the course profile Hochberg emphasizes.

Andy Lack pointed to Taylor Moore as strong DFS value play for the Houston Open at Memorial Park. Moore was the runner-up at this event last year, excelling off the tee and around the greens, perfectly aligning with the key metrics encouraged by this course layout. Lack also noted that Moore will likely be lower-owned after disappointing DFS players at last week's Valspar Championship, allowing savvy DFS players to capitalize on lower ownership at an attractive price point.

Pat Mayo highlighted Taylor Moore as an intriguing candidate for first-round leader betting at the Houston Open. Mayo specifically recalled Moore’s exceptional first-round performance last year at Memorial Park, where he posted a notable 64 before stumbling badly in subsequent rounds. Given this demonstrated capacity for a low opening-day round, Mayo sees potential value in placing first-round leader bets or top-20 wagers on Taylor Moore, despite the inconsistency later in the tournament.

Dave Tindall highlights Taylor Moore at 50/1 as an attractive bet due to Moore's strong performances on courses featuring tight runoff areas around greens, precisely what Memorial Park presents. Moore finished T2 here last year, excelling in the crucial statistical categories by ranking second in Around The Green, seventh in Putting, and 19th Off The Tee. Tindall points out Moore's combination of solid distance (32nd in Driving Distance this season), consistently high rankings in Off The Tee (19th) and Around The Green (19th) categories, and proven skill from tight lies with top-40 finishes in both Masters starts (39th debut, 20th last year, ranking 16th Around The Green at Augusta a year ago). Moore has demonstrated recent strong form with top-ten finishes in Phoenix and at The American Express, plus solid position halfway through The Players Championship. Tindall also emphasizes Moore's comfort factor in Texas—his birthplace and current home state—as motivation and context to deliver his second PGA Tour win in ideal conditions.

Steve Bamford advises betting on Taylor Moore at the Houston Open, highlighting Moore’s suitability to Memorial Park Golf Course. Moore previously won at the Valspar Championship at a similar price, proving he can thrive on tough courses. His ability to drive long, his high ball flight, plus solid approach metrics (17th at The Players for approach play), positions him well at Memorial Park. Moore's prior course experience (2nd place at Memorial Park in 2024) and proven affinity for Bermuda/Poa Trivialis greens (strong showings at Harbour Town, Zurich Classic at TPC Louisiana, Sedgefield, and here at Memorial Park) give additional confidence. Given his Texas roots and motivation for securing another Masters berth, Moore offers clear betting value according to Bamford.

Alex Hunter praises Taylor Moore's excellent Copperhead Course history, highlighted by his 2023 Valspar championship win and T12 finish the year after. Moore has made six consecutive cuts this season, including three top-25 finishes along that streak. Hunter also emphasizes Moore's strong par-5 scoring (5th in par-5 performance this season), noting that three of the past five winners at Copperhead led or finished second in par-5 efficiency. Given these favorable trends, Hunter expects Moore to once again contend strongly this week at a reasonable $8,600 DraftKings price.

Chris Breece backs Taylor Moore at +5000 to leverage his fondness and success at the Valspar Championship. With a win in 2023 and a T12 finish the following year, Moore's seven consecutive cuts, including a T9 in Scottsdale, affirm his solid form heading into play.

Cam DaSilva views Taylor Moore as a good value bet at +4500 after winning the Valspar Championship in 2023 and placing 12th last year. Moore ranks 25th on Tour this year in strokes gained tee-to-green. Even though he recorded just a 33rd-place finish last week at Sawgrass, he showed encouraging form by ranking 22nd in strokes gained tee-to-green and 13th strokes gained off-the-tee. DaSilva sees this underlying performance as a positive indicator for a strong run this week.

Derek Farnsworth highlighted Taylor Moore as a valuable PGA DFS option, noting specifically that Moore has been consistently making cuts and performing well recently. Farnsworth emphasized Moore's affordable pricing at around 5K, which presents tremendous value given his reliability. He recommended him as a strong value consideration due to his stable floor in recent events.
