Tyrrell Hatton Gaining Popularity With Good Course History
Tyrrell Hatton's only two top-10s on the PGA Tour came at the first and last regular season events he played in. Hatton has been rather disappointing this year not managing to put himself in contention enough. Hatton is trending towards being one of the more popular players in the $8K range, which is full of […]

Collin Morikawa averaged +0.52 strokes on and around the greens in the four 2022 majors. In the 39 non-major rounds with strokes gained data, he is averaging -0.52, which is a full shot per round worse. Although he is one of the best iron players in the world, major or non-major, this short game deficiency […]

After gaining +5.75 strokes on approach at the U.S. Open, Matt Fitzpatrick has averaged -0.44 on approach in his 20 rounds since. However, he still had finishes of T6, T21, T5, T48, and T15 over that span. He has one of the most well-rounded games on tour and will look to lean on his exceptionally […]

Cameron Young enters the week as the third-best ball striker over the last 24 rounds. Although he ended the season losing just under half a stroke per round on the greens, we can expect an improved putting performance after some time off to work on areas of concern. He had seven top-3s in his 25 […]
Byron Lindeque 2 years agoViktor Hovland Chipping Away At Short Game
Viktor Hovland's short game is starting to look like the chip off the old 2021 season, where he was neutral around greens (-0.03), which is sadly the best season he has had around the greens as a professional. He has gained six total strokes in his 20 rounds since The Open Championship, with T35 his […]

The Wyndham Championship and Shriners Children's Open are the last two regular season events that Tom Kim has played in and won. His precision off the tee and immaculate long iron play should have Kim right at the top of the leaderboard once again. If he can manage the extracurriculars of his win last week, […]

Sepp Straka has been lucky enough to be the first to congratulate both Will Zalatoris and Mackenzie Hughes after their playoff victories ... against him. But, he seems to be playing much better golf lately and it will not be surprising to see him win another event this year. We still only have two events […]

It has been a hot minute since we last put together a Breaking $100 article, but the Sanderson Farms Championship has changed that this week.

I have worked tirelessly to compile a database of Korn Ferry Tour data mixed together with PGA and DP World Tour data to help better analyze each golfer's statistical profile at a more detailed level.

Byron Lindeque 2 years agoBreaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - BMW Championship
It was a weird article last week, with major news on Cam Smith hitting the airwaves shortly after publishing the article. He managed to ignore most outside noise of his imminent departure to LIV and strolled into Sunday as the betting favorite...before getting a two-shot penalty assessed for an improper drop on Saturday, all but […]
Byron Lindeque 2 years agoTom Kim Gaining On Approach In 15 Consecutive Rounds
Tom Kim has gained strokes on approach in 15 consecutive rounds, gaining 1.4 strokes per round. He has below-average distance off the tee, but since playing on Tour this year, he has averaged a quarter of a stroke off the tee while leading this field in accuracy. His incredibly consistent ball-striking has seen him finish […]
Byron Lindeque 2 years agoDenny McCarthy Continues To Be High-Risk, High-Reward
At $7,000, Denny McCarthy has four top-20 finishes and three missed cuts in his last seven starts. His volatile approach play, complemented by a putter that has gained just shy of 100 strokes this year, makes McCarthy an intriguing cheaper option. He played over-par golf last weekend and still managed to finish T20 as a […]
Byron Lindeque 2 years agoSam Burns Eyeing Fourth Win Of Season
At a course that will favor length, accurate short irons and great bent-grass putters, Sam Burns has an advantage. His driver has been a little errant lately, but the rest of his game suits this course well and he is going relatively under-owned in his price range. Burns has won three times this season, with […]

Sungjae Im enters the week with back-to-back second-place finishes and a T12. Since his return from The Open, he has averaged 2.73 strokes gained per round, striking the ball exceptionally while spiking with his putter. He finds himself at a slightly steeper price than public favorite Cameron Young, making him an ideal pivot at half […]
Byron Lindeque 2 years agoTyrrell Hatton Has Putting Upside
Tyrrell Hatton is understandably low-owned in fantasy, as his top-10 finish at the Wyndham two weeks ago was his first top-10 result since March. Hatton has typically thrived on courses with longer approach shots, which makes his recent improvements on approach tough to trust heading to a course where he will find himself in proximity […]
Byron Lindeque 2 years agoJon Rahm Lacking Upside Relative To Ownership
Jon Rahm enters the week with the sixth-worst long-term proximity numbers from 100-150 yards, where a player with his length on this golf course will find himself the majority of the time. He is currently projected as one of the highest-owned players in DFS, with others around him who are relatively less-owned offering much more […]
