The Outlook
Henley possesses the balanced game that I'm looking for this week. He boasts a reasonable Long-Term Driving Distance (294.8 yards), and he's hit 67% of Greens in Regulation and 67.3% of fairways over the past 75 weeks.
Additionally, over his past 24 rounds he ranks 45th in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, ninth in Fairways Gained, and 17th in Strokes Gained: Putting. This seems like an appropriate time to ride Henley if you need the salary relief.
I wouldn’t bet on Henley to win, but a bet to make the cut seems promising — he’s made three straight cuts at PGA Championship events.
