Player Overview
Russell Henley is one of the most underrated players on the PGA Tour, quietly posting consistent results year after year without the fanfare that accompanies higher-profile competitors. The University of Georgia product has won multiple PGA Tour events and maintains one of the highest cut rates on tour, making him a model of reliability. Henley's game is balanced and efficient — he drives the ball adequately, approaches consistently, chips cleanly, and putts solidly. He doesn't have an elite weapon that jumps off the page, but the absence of any significant weakness means he grinds out strong finishes week after week. In DFS, Henley is a hidden gem who offers excellent floor production at a price point that allows roster construction flexibility.
