Golf Top Plays: The RSM Classic

Editor’s Note: We may not write up every player we consider to be a top play. Be sure to consult the chart at the bottom of the page. This article will update to reflect any injury or weather news.

DFS OPTIMIZER: If you are looking for a DFS optimizer, we have two options for ETR subscribers. Both of these products will sync automatically with ETR content (projections, ownership, etc.) if you already have an ETR golf subscription. Use the following links for full details about each product: THESOLVER (Optimizer + Bankroll Tracker) & Fantasy Labs (Optimizer).

Below, you will find the players we consider the best for the slate. These do NOT account for ownership, but they do account for salary. In other words, Jon Rahm could be our No. 1 play in the high range… but he could also be a bad tournament play because he projects for 60% ownership in an extreme example.

This article is for cash games (contests in which roughly 50% of the field gets paid out, such as a head-to-head or double-up). For tournaments, our focus should be more on the projected ownership and projected ceiling columns in our projections table.

With that said, these are our Top Plays considering the following factors: median projection, lower volatility, upside, and value. They are listed in price descending order. At the bottom, you’ll find suggested rankings by site once salary is accounted for.

HIGH-PRICED

Harris English ($10,100 DK, $12,000 FD) – Before the 0-2-1 Ryder Cup results — thanks “Envelope Rule” — English strung together an impressive 2025 campaign, making 15 straight cuts, winning the Farmers Insurance Open in January, and banking two T2 finishes in majors. In his first event since teeing it up at Bethpage Black, English should get a course that’s suited to his game. He isn’t long Off-the-Tee, ranking 51st in Driving Distance, but he’s accurate enough (43rd) to avoid big misses with the driver and is best on Approach from 150-200 yards, where many shots should be funneled this week. Maybe most importantly, English ranks sixth in this field over the last 12 months in Data Golf’s True Strokes Gained: Putting.
