Eric Polzin endorsed Vince Whaley as one of the best salary-saving options on DraftKings at $7,400. Whaley enters with five consecutive made cuts, highlighted by a strong showing at the Charles Schwab Challenge— a Colonial setup Polzin is using as a primary comp course because it is a par-70 that punishes errant drives, just like Hamilton G&CC. Stat-wise, Whaley grades top-40 in every category Polzin is emphasizing for this new venue: total driving, ball-striking, strokes-gained differential, and par-4 scoring. That across-the-board competency gives Whaley a stable floor while still leaving room for upside if the rough and strategically placed bunkers force the field to value accuracy. Polzin sees Whaley as a core lineup piece that frees up salary to pay for premium studs while maintaining cut-made equity in both cash games and GPPs.

David Barnett flagged Vince Whaley as an 80-to-1 outright after noticing the Tour Junkies BTN model slots him sixth this week. Barnett rattled off Whaley’s recent finishes—11th at Colonial, 15th at the Byron Nelson, 7th at Corales—as proof the Georgia Tech product is stacking high results. He values Whaley’s combination of length off the tee and a reliable flat stick, two skills he thinks are mandatory at TPC Toronto. With both statistical model love and current form on his side, Barnett is betting outrights, each-ways, and top-10 props before the market corrects the mis-price.

Pat Perry urged listeners to sprinkle outright and each-way bets on Vince Whaley at 80-to-1. Whaley sits sixth in the public BTN statistical model—higher than several players priced under 40-to-1—thanks to back-to-back strong finishes: T-15 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and T-11 at the Charles Schwab, where he gained strokes in every major category. Perry highlighted Whaley’s recent uptick in fairways hit (67% last two starts versus his season average of 59%) as a critical factor for avoiding TPC Toronto’s penal rough. The course’s two-par-5 layout puts extra weight on par-4 scoring, an area where Whaley ranks 18th on Tour over the past 24 rounds. With a weaker field, favorable course fit, and red-hot irons (+4.2 SG:APP average over his past three events), Perry believes Whaley has legitimate Sunday-afternoon upside and is mis-priced at 80-1.

Andy Lack slotted Vince Whaley into his DraftKings core at just $7 100 because the journeyman has made the cut all four times he’s teed it up at TPC Craig Ranch. Whaley’s recent results show a pulse—7th at Corales and 26th with a partner at the Zurich team event—providing enough momentum to believe another weekend is coming. Lack said floor is king in a week where nearly every lineup construction is viable, making Whaley a simple plug-and-play salary saver.
