I’m buying high on Russell Henley.

The 35-year-old Georgia native is off to the best start of his golf career after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational last weekend, and he’s looking to take that momentum into The Players Championship.

Henley has been as consistent as they come during the early going in 2025, making the cut at all six PGA Tour events he’s played in with four top-10 finishes, plus his win in Orlando last weekend.

Oddsmakers have adjusted to Henley’s career-best run, but there’s still some value to be had heading into the action in Florida.

Henley owns +150 odds to finish in the top 20 — sandwiched between Hideki Matsuyama and Shane Lowry.

Henley’s recent success may not be a fluke either — his breakout stretches back to last summer when he finished in the top 10 at the U.S. Open and The Open Championship before finishing the season with a fourth-place finish in the TOUR Championship.

Looking for more juice?

Henley to finish top 10 at +320 odds is worth a gamble as well.

The play: Russell Henley to finish top 20 (+150) | to finish top 10 (+320) | to make cut (-270)
