Akshay Bhatia has had quite the 2026 so far. The American golfer came back from five strokes down to defeat Daniel Berger in a playoff at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Bhatia did not have the best driving numbers that week (-10.7 yards, -10% accuracy). However, his 2.79 strokes gained to putting was by far his best metric of the season. Shot making around the greens and keeping those putts per round down will be vital. Bhatia ranks 4th on tour with 27.67 putts per round and 8th in one-putt percentage (45.16%). With a birdie or better conversion percentage of 37.93% (2nd), Bhatia can be solid from a DFS or betting perspective this weekend.

Keegan Bradley knows the Philadelphia area golf courses pretty well. The American golfer won the BMW Championship in 2018 when it was held at Aronimink. Bradley will see a course that looks very much the same as it did eight years ago. His form has been better of late with all three of his Top 25 results in 2026 coming over the past four events. One of the big reasons Bradley beat Justin Rose in a playoff then was his work approaching the greens (2nd at 0,888 strokes gained). Now, it is one of his weaker links at 0.293 strokes lost (129th). Improved putting has been vital though as Bradley has gained at least a half stroke or better in four of his last six tournaments. Betting wise, he can be an option potentially for Top 20 or Top 40 wagers.

Xander Schauffele is coming off his worst finish of the 2026 season after finishing tied for 60th at last week's Truist Championship. He'll look to bounce back at this week's PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, Pennsylvania. Schauffele had rattled off seven straight top-25 finishes before last week, with his best finish being a third-place finish at the PLAYERS Championship back in March. Schauffele finished tied for 28th at last year's PGA Championship and walked away as the champion in the 2024 edition. Over the past 12 months, Schauffele ranks in the 96th percentile in greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway.

Gary Woodland finished tied for 17th at last week's Truist Championship and will now start his preparations for this week's PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, Pennsylvania. Woodland has one win, four missed cuts, and three top-25 finishes in 12 starts this season. After starting this season rather shakily, Woodland has bounced back nicely, securing one win and three top-25 finishes in his previous six starts. Woodland missed the cut at last year's PGA Championship and tied for 60th in the 2024 edition. Over the past 12 months, Woodland ranks in the 63rd percentile in greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway.
