Thriston Lawrence competed in seven PGA Tour events in 2024, making the cut twice, including a notable fourth-place finish at The Open Championship. However, most of his recent play has been on the European Tour, where his last five results include two missed cuts, a T14, a T30, and a T6. Lawrence ranks in the 41st percentile for greens in regulation from the fairway on approach shots over 200 yards, a range that accounts for more than 26% of all approach shots at Torrey Pines. The Farmers Insurance Open is one of the toughest challenges on the schedule, and with limited PGA Tour experience, Lawrence may be a risky play for fantasy lineups this week.

Stephan Jaeger has started the 2025 season strong with a T36 finish at The Sentry and a T3 finish at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Prior to these results, he struggled with consistency, missing the cut in four of his previous eight events. At the Farmers Insurance Open, Jaeger has made the cut in three of five appearances, including a T3 finish in 2024. Torrey Pines presents a challenge with 26.3% of approach shots coming from over 200 yards, an area where Jaeger ranked 121st in 2024. However, he remains one of the longest hitters off the tee, ranking 13th in total driving with an average distance of 310.3 yards -- good for 21st on tour. While his distance will be an asset this week, Jaeger's ranking of 120th in approach to the green last season makes him a risky option to round out fantasy lineups at his $7,800 price tag on DraftKings.

Sahith Theegala finished tied for 37th at the Sony Open two weeks ago and is now focused on preparing for this week's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. Historically, he has performed well at this tournament, finishing tied for 64th in 2024, tied for fourth in 2023, and tied for 25th in 2022. It's important to note that over the past 12 months, Theegala ranks in the 37th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because, at last year's tournament, over 34% of approach shots came from this distance. Given his past performances at this event, Theegala could be a strong addition to DFS lineups this week.

Kurt Kitayama finished T58 at last week's American Express and is now preparing to tee it up at Torrey Pines for this week's Farmers Insurance Open. Kitayama missed last year's tournament and has not had much success in previous appearances. He missed the cut in both of his previous attempts in 2023 and 2022. Over the past 12 months, Kitayama ranks in the 56th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because, at last year's Farmers Insurance Open, over 34% of approach shots came from this distance. Given his recent performance, as well as his historical results, including Kitayama in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.
