Coming off a T33 finish at THE PLAYERS in which he used an impressive second-round 62 to make the cut on Friday, Justin Thomas will enter this week as a +1200 betting favorite. He's in decent form and has some history here at Copperhead, logging a T3 and four more Top 20s in seven career tries. 

Tommy Fleetwood (+1400) is second on the board as he continues to be one of the most underrated golfers on Tour. He finished T14 at TPC Sawgrass last week and hasn't finished worse than T22 since last year's Open Championship. He also finished T3 here in 2023.

Equally underrated is Sepp Straka (+2000), who's won as recently as The American Express and has gone T11-T5-T14 in his last three starts. He did miss the cut here last year, though.

Xander Schauffele is notably further down the board than you might expect, listed at 20/1 as he continues his return from a rib injury he suffered in January. He's finished T40 at Bay Hill and 72nd at THE PLAYERS since. He finished T12 here in 2022 and T5 a season ago.

Shane Lowry rounds out the Top 5 after a third straight Top 20 finish last week. He's on the board as long as 25/1. 

Defending champ Peter Malnati is on the board as long as +75,000.
