Byron Lindeque strongly advised against backing Wyndham Clark at the Masters, highlighting Clark's extremely poor past performance in majors. Clark has missed the cut in seven out of his 12 major appearances, achieving only one top-20 finish (which ironically was a win at the U.S. Open). Lindeque mocked Clark's lengthy guaranteed exemption for majors, suggesting his overall game and consistent underachievement on major stages makes him a player to fade entirely this week at Augusta.

Jim Sannes discussed Wyndham Clark as a bailout option for outright betting at The Masters, noting he's drawn toward Clark at 90-to-1 odds because his iron play has begun trending positively after previous inconsistency. While historically a weaker iron player, recent form suggests improvement in this crucial Augusta skill. Although Sannes ultimately chose Corey Conners at 65-to-1 instead due to Conners' more reliable Augusta history, he admitted Clark's volatility and climbing recent form make him very tempting as a longshot outright bet this week.

Steve Bamford expressed cautious interest in Wyndham Clark at around 70/1 odds for Augusta, citing his recent compelling performance at Houston and recent major championship pedigree. Although Clark missed the cut on his debut at Augusta last year, his notable recent showing at Houston has caught Bamford's attention. Steve acknowledged Clark's right-handed, left-to-right ball flight could pose mild concerns navigating Augusta; however, the course's wide driving corridors could offset this weakness sufficiently. Despite these slight hesitations, Bamford views Clark's recent form and major-winning experience as attractive for speculative betting or each-way DFS shares.

Matt Every expressed concern over Wyndham Clark's fit at Augusta National because of his consistent left-to-right ball flight. Every highlighted that Augusta notably favors golfers who can comfortably shape the ball right-to-left due to various tee shots that demand that type of shot, especially when the trouble is positioned on the left or the wind is coming off the left. He explained how awkward many tee shots become for those who predominantly hit cuts. This specific mismatch between Clark's natural ball flight and Augusta's demands makes him a risky selection.

David Barnett strongly recommended caution when evaluating golfers based primarily on recent performances in significant events prior to the Masters. He referenced Wyndham Clark’s high price tag ($10,000) following a near-win at the Players Championship as an illustrative example of inflated expectations. Despite his hot form entering Augusta, Clark failed dramatically, returning among the worst DFS values. Barnett advised players to critically examine whether strong finishes immediately preceding Augusta directly translate into Masters success given Augusta’s unique demands. He argued against DFS over-investment in golfers simply based on recent high-visibility success without course-specific validation.

Matt Gannon identified Wyndham Clark as the player most likely to win among a mid-range group of struggling golfers, including Tony Finau, Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim, and Sungjae Im. Even though none are playing particularly well currently, Gannon specifically highlighted Clark's "strokes gained dog," referring to his competitiveness and desire. Clark, who is coming off a disappointing missed cut in his Masters debut despite winning the U.S. Open and two elevated events leading into it last year, was Gannon’s preferred pick for his strong mental fortitude and hunger to succeed on the major stage.

Byron Lindeque expressed caution regarding Wyndham Clark at the Valero Texas Open due to Clark’s tendency for inaccurate driving. Byron pointed out that TPC San Antonio greatly penalizes errant tee shots—not so much by thick rough—but by densely-lined trees and native areas just off the fairways. Compared to last week's Houston course, which was more forgiving due to scattered trees, Byron noted TPC San Antonio is far less accommodating. He emphasized that Clark’s wayward driving could lead to significant scoring issues, recommending bettors and DFS players approach Clark cautiously given this course's unique demands.

Pat Mayo advocated for Wyndham Clark in one and done leagues for the 2025 Houston Open, citing that Clark delivered strong ball striking at the same event last year but couldn't make any putts. He noted that Clark's elite driver and iron play were evident, making him a prime buy-low candidate with positive regression likely coming in the putting department. Mayo emphasized the course's wide fairways and shaved runoff areas around the greens mitigate the penalty of missing fairways or greens, providing further confidence for selecting Clark.

Ev Singleton expressed positive sentiment toward Wyndham Clark at the Houston Open, driven mainly by his significant distance off the tee. Singleton noted Clark's excellent ranking in driving distance and ball speed metrics, both critically important at Memorial Park course. Although Clark's recent finishes and putting struggles were acknowledged as potential concerns, Singleton emphasized the course fit and Clark's strong game off-the-tee and around-the-green ability. The importance of bogey avoidance on a challenging course further elevated Clark’s profile in Singleton's analysis.

Brandon Gdula recommended fading Wyndham Clark (33-1) because he is returning from a neck injury and has long struggled with iron play, ranking 75th in the field in strokes gained approach over the last 50 rounds. The combination of health concerns and sustained poor iron performance creates substantial doubt regarding Clark's ability to contend successfully at Memorial Park.

Matt Vincenzi is bullish on Wyndham Clark at +4000 based on his strong performance on Tom Doak-designed courses, ranking sixth in strokes-gained total over his last 36 rounds on these layouts. Vincenzi loves Clark's skill combination of strong driving distance and putting ability, which aligns with the proven winning formula at Memorial Park through its first four editions. Given these key stats and historical course fit, Clark could seriously contend this week.

Keith Stewart expressed significant reservations about recommending Wyndham Clark this week due to lingering injury issues. Despite acknowledging Clark's ideal skill match for the course (great driving distance, excellent short game, consistent lag putting), Stewart highlighted Clark's recent withdrawal from THE PLAYERS Championship after 27 holes as a concerning sign. He also emphasized that Clark notably missed a crucial TGL playoff event he typically prioritizes, underscoring the seriousness of his physical condition as he tries testing himself ahead of Augusta. Stewart concluded the risks far outweigh the upside, making Clark a dangerous play at this week's Houston Open, especially compared to safer alternatives like Min Woo Lee or Aaron Rai.

Matt Vincenzi backs Wyndham Clark despite his recent withdrawal at the Players Championship due to a neck issue. Over his prior 36 rounds, Clark ranks sixth in the field in strokes-gained total on Tom Doak-designed courses like Memorial Park. Clark, renowned for his length off the tee and elite putting, matches the profile for past success at this event. His history of excelling against top fields, highlighted by a U.S. Open victory and contending strongly against Scottie Scheffler, underscores his potential to perform well here at the +4000 betting price.

Jim Sannes backs Wyndham Clark at 33-1 as his win selection despite previously expressed health concerns over Clark's recent neck injury. Sannes emphasizes Clark's higher ceiling than safer options, like JJ Spaun, acknowledging the irons aren't perfect but have shown recent improvement. Clark's length off the tee when he's dialed in gives significant upside against this weaker field, thus justifying Sannes' outright bet at this current number despite lingering worries about his iron play and health status.

Although previously worried about Wyndham Clark's neck injury (causing withdrawal from The Players Championship), Brandon Gdula said he could potentially pivot back to rostering Clark if assurance about Clark's health emerges ahead of competition. Gdula suggested Clark might become preferable over Finau if news alleviates injury concern, but lacking reliable injury updates, he remains hesitant for now.

Andy Lang mentioned Wyndham Clark as an uncertain betting option, describing him as an enigma due to his spotty recent form. Despite Clark's impressive world ranking (11th globally and third-highest in this field), Lang highlighted that Clark's recent performances have been disappointing, featuring brief good moments but failing to sustain consistent high-level play. Given the inconsistency relative to market pricing and expected popularity, Lang viewed Clark cautiously this week, implicitly recommending against backing him strongly in betting or DFS lineups.

Patrick McDonald placed Wyndham Clark on his 'can't win' list due to Clark's notable inconsistency this year. Clark has swung wildly between contention and missed cuts, making him unreliable particularly on a demanding golf course like Memorial Park that requires steady precision. Given his shaky form, McDonald cautioned against backing Clark in betting or DFS scenarios this week.

Kenny Kim views Wyndham Clark as a high-leverage DFS opportunity due to projected low single-digit ownership driven by injury concerns. He explains that Clark's powerful driving, strong short game, and ability to experience periodic impressive putting make him ideally suited to Memorial Park's softer conditions. Despite acknowledging the substantial risk of withdrawal or poor performance due to recent injury rumors—highlighted by Clark's earlier withdrawal from the TGL event—Kim believes Clark's upside in GPP contests makes him worth consideration for contrarian DFS players, provided they accept the inherent volatility.

Pat Mayo advised caution regarding betting Wyndham Clark at the Houston Open due to recent injury concerns. Clark, who might otherwise have ranked among the top candidates in the field, had to miss the recent TGL semifinals with a neck injury. While recognizing Clark’s raw talent, Mayo stressed that uncertainty about his current physical condition presents substantial risk, particularly given relatively short outright odds (33 to 1). Therefore, he discouraged betting on Clark without clarity regarding his health status.

Sia Nejad identified Wyndham Clark as an attractive DFS option in the $9K DraftKings range at Memorial Park. Nejad praised Clark's skillset and course fit, noting his strong pedigree and previous success at this venue specifically. He considered Clark slightly mispriced relative to others above him, suggesting Clark offers an attractive combination of upside and potential lower ownership. Nejad advocated for confidently rostering Wyndham despite a generally lukewarm feeling about the rest of the 9K players.

Derek Farnsworth pointed out Wyndham Clark's unsettling tendency to start very strong in tournaments before fading sharply during the weekend rounds. Clark has notably held the first-round lead in each of his last three events but could only finish outside the top 20 after those initial impressive rounds. Farnsworth views Clark as a risky DFS pick because of these consistent weekend fades preventing him from delivering complete performances.

Ben Coley is bullish on Wyndham Clark to lead after round one at THE PLAYERS Championship. Clark has consistently started fast recently, having led after round one in two of his previous three starts and at this same event last year. Sawgrass has been wet recently, and conditions favor longer hitters who play early, as history shows eight of ten first-round leaders at Sawgrass since the event moved to March teed off early. Clark is known as a long-hitter who's streaky and capable of going low on the greens, making him ideal for this scenario at appealing odds around 66/1.

Matt Gannon advised strongly against selecting Wyndham Clark for DFS at TPC Sawgrass, emphasizing how Clark's game has significantly deteriorated since last year. He praised Clark's near-win at Sawgrass previously but noted that his normally loose driving style does not match the exacting conditions at THE PLAYERS Championship. Recently, Clark’s driver has become even looser, and that regression spells major trouble at the narrow, punishing layout of TPC Sawgrass.

Ginger Joe identifies Wyndham Clark as majorly undervalued at 55/1 for THE PLAYERS Championship, primarily due to his strong strategic prowess. Although Wyndham's game doesn't fit typical trends—he mainly produces a massive fade rather than versatility—Joe emphasizes that Clark compensates exceedingly well with intelligent decision-making. Notably, Clark performed impressively on difficult holes here last year, strategically approaching par fives as three-shotters rather than aggressively chasing greens in two. Even when his aggressive approaches landed him in trouble spots like bunkers or rough, his outstanding bunker play and solid putting consistently saved scores. Joe highlights Clark's major-winning pedigree (US Open winner) and argues that his course management skills and composure under tough conditions make him significantly undervalued by the market this week.

Esten McLaren sees Wyndham Clark as significantly undervalued at +6600 odds to win THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Ranked eighth in the Official World Golf Ranking, Clark was a co-runner-up to Scheffler at this tournament last year and finished T-27 two years ago, demonstrating comfort and performance history at Sawgrass. McLaren highlighted an unusual pricing discrepancy, where competing sportsbooks have Clark as short as +5000, making +6600 at bet365 notably appealing. Though Clark faltered after leading the Arnold Palmer Invitational through one round and ended T-22, McLaren views this as an opportunity, not a setback, believing Clark's talent and past success have been wrongly discounted by the market.

Joe Idone is enthusiastic about Wyndham Clark as an attractive bet at around 80-to-1 odds for THE PLAYERS Championship. He highlighted Clark's solid recent performances, including shooting impressive rounds and gaining considerable confidence playing in TGL. Idone emphasized Clark's prior success at TPC Sawgrass, mentioning Clark played notably well last year at Sawgrass. Idone believes Clark has the requisite 'big dog energy' and comfortability on this course, attributes that make him a proven event winner. He contrasted Clark positively versus players like Russell Henley, noting Clark's mentality and winning capability especially significant for outright betting markets.
