Adam Schupak pegged Corey Conners as his primary sleeper at +2800. Conners ranks near the top of the tour in strokes-gained approach and greens-in-regulation, traits Schupak says are critical at Muirfield Village. If the Canadian can coax an average putting week—historically his weakness—Schupak expects him to be a Sunday factor. Given the ball-striking floor and a price nearly double the chalk, Conners is on Schupak’s outright and top-10 cards.

Rabinowitz tossed out Justin Rose as a dart throw at +12500. The 44-year-old forced Rory McIlroy to a playoff at this year’s Masters and owns two other 2025 top-10s. Rose has four career top-10s at the Memorial—including the 2010 win—though he’s missed the cut the last two seasons. Rabinowitz believes the recent major form indicates Rose can still summon a ceiling week, making him worth a fractional outright ticket or top-20 play.

Bill Rabinowitz called the 2023 winner Hovland a tempting sleeper at +2800. While his Valspar victory in March is his lone top-10 of an otherwise quiet year, Rabinowitz trusts the Norwegian’s comfort level at Muirfield Village and believes the complete tee-to-green skill set will resurface. With Scheffler shortening the top of the market, Rabinowitz likes the price gap on a proven course horse who already knows how to close here.

Oller urged bettors not to ignore Si Woo Kim after his T8 at the PGA Championship. Kim finished 4th here in 2023, owns four PGA Tour wins, and showed he can handle Sunday pressure. Oller noted no Asian player has won the Memorial since Hideki Matsuyama in 2014, but expects Kim to be "in the hunt when making the turn on Sunday" at generous outright odds north of 50-1.

Rob Oller labeled Fitzpatrick a misleading "sleeper" at +4000. The 2022 U.S. Open champ owns three top-10s in six Memorial starts and routinely thrives on demanding second-shot tracks. Although he has only one top-10 in 12 starts this season, Oller believes the Englishman’s all-around game still travels, and Muirfield Village is where he historically spikes. At 40-1, Oller views him as ideal each-way or top-10 material.

Adam Schupak called Morikawa a strong outright bet at +1600. The two-time major champ has not lifted a trophy since October 2023, but Schupak argued the drought ends at Muirfield Village where Morikawa finished runner-up to Scheffler last year and also won during the 2020 COVID doubleheader. Schupak loves the fit: Morikawa ranks among the tour’s best in approach play, has revamped his short game, and trusts a more reliable putter. With those upgrades bolstering his trademark iron play, Schupak expects Morikawa to be the one shaking Jack’s hand on Sunday.

Bill Rabinowitz recommended wagering on Justin Thomas at +1400 despite the missed cut at the PGA. He highlighted that in the four starts preceding that stumble Thomas finished runner-up twice and won the RBC Heritage in a playoff. While JT has been "shaky off the tee," Rabinowitz likes how his putter is carrying him—an asset on Jack Nicklaus’ slick greens. With Xander Schauffele still searching for form after an early-season injury, Rabinowitz sees Thomas as the best alternative to Scheffler at the top of the board.

Rob Oller said Scheffler is a bet-and-forget play at +300 because his current run is the best since peak Tiger. The 28-year-old has already bagged the Byron Nelson and the PGA Championship this season, returns as the defending Memorial champion, and has two additional T3s at Muirfield Village (2021, 2023). Oller stressed course comfort and noted Scheffler gains so many strokes tee-to-green that he only needs an average putting week to be in the mix—if the putter heats up, Oller thinks everyone else is drawing dead.
