Cameron Smith Continues To LIV On The Edge

With speculation of Cameron Smith's departure to LIV reaching fever pitch, the Australian remains focused on winning the FedEx Cup Playoffs, refusing to comment on his imminent departure from the tour. His new driver and shot shape have shown signs of promise recently, gaining off the tee in seven of his last eight starts. He […]

Jon Rahm Has Incredible Driving Streak Snapped

Jon Rahm has lost strokes off the tee in two of his last four starts. Incredibly, these are the only two times he has lost strokes off the tee on the PGA Tour since the 2019 Tour Championship. He should continue to dominate with his driver this week with hopes that the rest of his […]

Sungjae Im Enters Week With Back-To-Back Second-Place Finishes

Sungjae Im enters the week with back-to-back second-place finishes, losing over two strokes putting both Sundays he was in contention. Even with those two abysmal putting performances, he has still gained a stroke per round on the greens in his last duo of starts. His ball-striking has been steady enough to have gained total strokes […]

Tyrrell Hatton Gaining Strokes Across The Board

Tyrrell Hatton has only lost strokes on approach in one of his last dozen rounds, averaging 0.91 strokes gained over that period. His stellar iron play has resulted in finishes of T24, T11 and T8 in his last three starts. The rest of Hatton's game is also starting to round out nicely, as he has […]

Joohyung Kim Looking To Strike While Irons Are Hot

Joohyung "Tom" Kim tied the course record at Detroit GC on Sunday and in doing so clinched his tour card for next season in just seven PGA Tour starts. He has averaged a scintillating +1.22 with his irons over his last eight rounds and has incredible accuracy off the tee, which should be emphasized at […]

Denny McCarthy Looking For Fourth Top-10 In Six Starts

In his last five starts, Denny McCarthy has finished inside the top 10 three times and missed the cut twice. He is currently the definition of "boom or bust". He does have an incredible opportunity to lean on his putter that is averaging +1.02 strokes over his last 36 rounds. McCarthy missed the cut last […]

Aaron Wise A Magic Broomstick Away From Victory

In five of his last eight starts where Aaron Wise has gained even a fraction putting, he has not finished worse than T27. His iron play has immense upside, and his driving statistics show an extremely high floor, not losing more than half a stroke off the tee in any tournament since February. Wise has […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Eyeing First PGA Tour Win

In his 28 rounds since the Masters, Christiaan Bezuidenhout has gained 0.84 strokes putting per round. Five of his last 10 rounds have also flashed approach play that has averaged 2.1 strokes gained, which, when paired with his sensational putting ability, is a recipe for success at this week's Wyndham Championship. Bezuidenhout is steady off […]

Sungjae Im Striking The Ball Much Better Recently

After testing positive with COVID-19 a few months ago, it appears that Sungjae Im is starting to return back to his impressive ball-striking form. The South Korean has gained just shy of 14 strokes in ball-striking in his last two starts. However, his putter may still be suffering from some lingering symptoms, as he has […]

Tyrrell Hatton A European Conundrum

Tyrrell Hatton has lost strokes in ball-striking in all of his United States starts since the Masters. However, he gained significant strokes in his two most recent starts that took place in Europe. Whether or not that form makes its way back across the pond to North Carolina is yet to be determined. History would […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - Wyndham Championship

After taking a week off to cycle across Iowa for seven days, we jump from the bike saddle back into the content one, which is much more endearing to certain areas of the body. While I joined 15,000+ people in a crazy journey across the corn-riddled landscape of the Midwest, Tony Finau joined only a […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - 3M Open

Last week's article mentioned, "...hopefully Smith's wispy mullet doesn't get in the way of too many photos of him and the Claret Jug."  This week, Cameron Smith is the Champion Golfer of the Year and his mullet behaved as well as his putter, not getting in the way of a single photo! Breaking $100 gets […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - The Open

The Scottish Open was another episode of Runaway Bride, starring former bridesmaid, Xander Schauffele, winning his second tournament in as many starts. The flood gates appear to be open and confidence, poise, and bottled-up talent seems to be gushing through the streets of St. Andrews as he eyes his first major and third consecutive win. […]

Robert MacIntyre Looking For 10th Straight Made Cut

Regardless of the form Robert MacIntyre enters a major with, he has somehow made the cut in all nine majors he has played in. He has two top-10 finishes in those majors which both came at the only two Open Championships he has played in. If history repeats itself and MacIntyre finds himself inside the […]

Keegan Bradley Leads Field In Recent Approach Metrics

After losing 2.7 strokes on the greens in the final round of the U.S. Open, Keegan Bradley has lost strokes putting in six of his last seven rounds. However, he is still averaging plus-0.4 strokes in the last 32 rounds he has played. If he can bounce back with the putter this week, he stands […]

Joaquin Niemann Needs Putter To Cooperate

Joaquin Niemann has not finished worse than T25 in the six starts he gained more than two strokes on the greens this year. His ball striking has seemed to provide him with a high floor that allows him to be in immediate contention once his putter starts contributing to the team project. Niemann was neutral […]

Matt Fitzpatrick A Safe Play With Immense Upside

Matt Fitzpatrick has worked tirelessly on all aspects of his game to reap the rewards of winning the U.S. Open last month. His game seemingly has no weaknesses as he is averaging no less than +0.41 strokes gained in all four of the major strokes-gained categories this year. Regardless of the conditions we get this […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Putting Lights-Out

Christiaan Bezuidenhout enters the week with four top-20s in his last six starts, courtesy of a putter that has averaged plus-1.04 strokes over his last 24 rounds. Bezuidenhout has also gained strokes off the tee in his last five starts and has flashed upside on approach, too. Renowned as a tough-condition specialist, his putter has […]

Viktor Hovland Continues To Struggle Around The Green

After rattling off three wins and seven top-10 finishes in a nine-event stretch across the globe earlier this season, Viktor Hovland has yet to crack the top 20 in any standard event since March. Although he is still typically gaining on the ball-striking front, he has regressed on his approach and off the tee relative […]

Tommy Fleetwood A Contender If Conditions Are Tough

Tommy Fleetwood continues to shine in low-scoring, tougher events, claiming his second top-five finish on the PGA Tour. His two T5s this year have had a winning score of five- and seven-under, which are considered tough conditions in the current PGA climate. If the wind does not blow and St. Andrews' firm and crusty underbelly […]

Brooks Koepka Lacking Major Form

Brooks Koepka has only played in three events since April, all three being majors, with his best result being a 55th-place finish at the U.S. Open. His approach play and short game are diminishing any opportunity he might have of contending at these high-level events. With very little form to write home about heading into […]

Justin Thomas Lost Strokes Ball-Striking After Tweaking Back

Justin Thomas lost strokes on approach and off the tee for the first time since the PGA Championship in May of 2021. The concerning part about this is that it came in his first start since withdrawing from the Travelers Championship citing a tweaked back. There are no reports confirming that he is still dealing […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - Scottish Open

Denny McCarthy's putter and biggest weapon mailed it in on Sunday, allowing the Postman, J.T. Poston to go wire-to-wire for his second career win. An incredible display of composure at the top of the leaderboard for four straight days is what allowed J.T.'s exceptionally well-rounded game to run like a Deere. It was the weakest […]

Keegan Bradley Gaining With Putter Since March

Keegan Bradley has gained half a stroke per round with his putter since March. This is a statistical revelation considering he has lost an average of -0.55 strokes per round over his last three years on tour. His incredible turnaround with the flat stick has seen him finish top-10 in five of his last nine […]

Joaquin Niemann Can Go Low Enough To Win Scottish Open

Joaquin Niemann has the length, approach play and short game to win tournaments on tour, validated by his record-setting win at the Genesis Invitational in February. However, Niemann has only gained strokes across all four major categories once since doing so at Riviera Country Club. If he can keep his concentration this week, he has […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Capable Of Hitting Driver Further

After a one-on-one discussion with Christiaan Bezuidenhout's trainer at the John Deere Classic, he mentioned that Bezuidenhout has gained a full club worth of distance recently and can hit his driver further than his on-course metrics portray. The reason this has yet to come to fruition on the course is because the distance he has […]

Viktor Hovland Can Limit Poor Chipping On Links Course

Viktor Hovland's only major weakness is his around-the-green game, losing an average of 0.67 strokes per round this year. The rest of his game has been sensational for the most part. At a links-style course, the undulations and grass type around the green allow significantly more opportunities to putt your ball onto the putting surface, […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick Looking For Consecutive Wins

Matthew Fitzpatrick will tee it up for the first time since winning the US Open. He did so without gaining any strokes putting, which is a testament to his hard work on the ball striking front finally paying off. He now is considerably longer off the tee and that will come in handy at a […]

Tommy Fleetwood Dependent On Tougher Conditions

Tommy Fleetwood's ball-striking has not been consistent enough for him to find himself regularly contending for wins, particularly on easier courses that require a multitude of birdie opportunities. His short game is the best aspect of his skill profile, and that is often emphasized when conditions get tougher and greens are harder to hit. His […]

Justin Thomas Looking To Capitalize On Revitalized Putter

Justin Thomas heads to the Scottish Open refreshed after teeing it up last at the US Open a few weeks ago. He is also in incredible form with his relatively poor performance of T37 at the US Open resulting from some sloppy short game which is typically the most volatile area of a golf game. […]
