After a week off, the FedExCup Fall is locked in for the next three weeks to bring the official PGA TOUR events to a close just before Thanksgiving. This week, the scene shifts from Utah to Mexico for this week’s World Wide Technology Championship. The event was the first regular PGA TOUR event south of the border and occurred in Riviera Maya before moving to its current course and location in Los Cabos in 2023. It gives players another important opportunity to move up the standings with just two remaining events after this week’s event in Mexico.

Especially in large-field GPP tournaments, you’ll want to make sure to target players who have lower ownership projections than their potential performance. Finding high-leverage plays is critical for GPP success, so the picks here go against the grain, looking for under-owned options.
All Strokes Gained metrics referenced are from the Rabbit Hole.
Usually, I rely heavily on the Strokes Gained Model in FantasyLabs, which is very predictive of results. I also tend to lean toward players who excel in Strokes Gained: Approach, which is more sustainable week-to-week than a hot putter.
Since these are GPP picks, we can accept more risk in exchange for getting a higher ceiling. High-risk, high-reward options with low ownership create the “boom-or-bust” style lineups that often lead to large-field success. To find guidance for all contest types, check out our full Daily Fantasy Golf coverage each week.
No matter what type of format you prefer, be sure to use the FantasyLabs PGA Models to help you make the best choices. These models use stats and simulations to highlight different players’ strengths and weaknesses. A few critical new stats for GPP play are Perfect% and SimLeverage, which are further explained here.
As you dig into the numbers, you can enjoy the many tools FantasyLabs offers, including the Lineup Optimizer, which effortlessly creates up to 300 lineups. Alternatively, you can use the Lineup Builder if you prefer a more hands-on approach.

Max Greyserman $9,800
Greyserman has a very low ownership projection, with the three golfers at $10,000 or higher getting lots of attention this week. He has the highest SimLeverage in the entire field since he has the sixth-highest Perfect% but only the 16th-highest ownership projection.
In his most recent tournament, Greyserman finished runner-up behind Xander Schauffele in Japan. That was his third top-10 finish and his 10th top-25 finish of the year, and he’s solidly at No. 51 in the FedExCup Fall standings, on track to secure his spot in the first few Signature Events of 2026.
Greyserman is still in search of his first career PGA TOUR victory, and he has a history of going low at events like this where scoring is extremely low. He finished fourth last year in his debut at El Cardonal, and he’ll look to post another strong finish this year.
He has that kind of high ceiling, but his recent form before his runner-up in Japan is why he’s being overlooked. After a runner-up at the Rocket Mortgage this summer, he missed five of six cuts. He looked ready to return to form at the Baycurrent Classic, though, and if he does, he’ll be a great GPP pivot play near the top of the salary structure.
Garrick Higgo $9,300
Higgo’s ownership projection is the second-lowest of the players over $9,000, and his SimLeverage is the second-highest in that range as well, behind only Greyserman. The South African lefty has been in excellent form and should be able to excel in this setup.
Last year, Higgo finished T6 at the World Wide Technology Championship, and he comes back to Cabo San Lucas with much better form this year.
The 26-year-old picked up his second career PGA TOUR victory earlier this season at the Corales Puntacana Championship on another resort-style course. He went low to start the week in the Dominican Republic and held on for a one-shot win over Alejandro Tosti, Keith Mitchell, Jeremy Paul, Michael Thorbjornsen, and Joel Dahmen, who all tied for second.
He also has great recent form, posting a T7 at the Procore Championship, a runner-up finish at the Sanderson Farms Championship, and a T4 at the Baycurrent Classic in his three starts during the FedExCup Fall. He leads the field in Total Strokes Gained over the last 12 rounds and ranks in the top five in Strokes Gained: Putting and Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green over that span.
His game is a good fit for driver-forward courses like this one, and his strong showing last year coupled with his good form in his return make him one of my favorite plays of the eek in both Cash cand GPP lineups since he brings so much upside.
