Jim Furyk Too Risky For PGA Championship
Jim Furyk probably is in the midst of his coldest streak as a pro after missing three straight cuts heading into the PGA Championship. The 51-year old drives the ball just 283.4 yards which could be a significant issue given the breezes this week at Kiawah Island. His putts per round of 29.5 ranks in […]

Phil Mickelson Not Expected To Be A Factor This Week
At age 50, Phil Mickelson and long-hitting courses offer too much risk to consider him even a remote option. He ranks just 125th in birdies and accuracy has waned considerably through the years. Now, Mickelson can still drive a ball 301.5 yards on average but his driving accuracy is a woeful 51%. One cannot miss […]

Stewart Cink May Be A Wild Card At PGA Championship
Which Stewart Cink do we see at Kiawah Island? Do we get the winner of the RBC Heritage where he destroyed the field on Thursday and Friday? Or do we wind up with the Wells Fargo version that just could not make putts over the weekend? This will be interesting. Driving distance is 23rd on […]

Sam Burns Is Hot Heading Into PGA Championship
Sam Burns won the Valspar Championship and finished second at the Byron Nelson last week. Few golfers come in hotter than Burns does this week at Kiawah Island. His struggles in March and early April where he missed three cuts in a row seem to be a distant memory. He drives the ball well at […]

Bubba Watson Could Stay In Contention At PGA
Bubba Watson has been in pretty good form since The Masters. He even has two top-20 finishes in his last two tournaments (13th and 18th). His strokes gained off the tee is ninth on the tour and approaching the green is near the top-50. The concern with Watson and it is always the case comes […]

Billy Horschel Not Expecting Much At PGA Championship
Billy Horschel is definitely having a tough time finding form at the PGA. He has only played one tournament since his Masters' meltdown where he shot a 76 on Sunday. He did finish 25th at the RBC but again faltered in the final round. Horschel shot an even-par 72 after two rounds in the 60's. […]

Cameron Smith Could Factor Into PGA Championship This Week
Despite the lack of driving distance at 297.1 yards and poorer driving accuracy at 58%, Cameron Smith could still be in the mix come the weekend at Kiawah Island. This is because of his short game and top-15 putting when it comes to strokes gained. Also, his putting average is fourth and his one-putts are […]

Marc Leishman Has Limited Upside At PGA
Marc Leishman is coming off some solid play in the last month, including a T5 at the Masters and a win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. However, at Kiawah, one has to drive the ball a little better than Leishman has this year. He drives the ball off the tee at 291.5 yards, […]

Paul Casey May Be One To Avoid At PGA Championship
Paul Casey had a nice run in the first four tournaments in 2021 with four top-10 finishes, including a T5 at Pebble Beach and The Players Championship. However, he missed the cut at the RBC and finished outside the top 20 at Valspar. There are some solid numbers, but nothing spectacular. His driving distance at […]

Daniel Berger May Be One To Watch At PGA Championship
Daniel Berger hopefully learned some lessons from his humbling experience at the Masters, where he shot 75 and 73 to miss the cut. The third-place performance at the Byron Nelson last week included a nice charge and a 64 on Sunday. This week will obviously be much more difficult, but Berger is 10th in greens […]

Tommy Fleetwood Not Expected To Be Factor
Tommy Fleetwood is average driving distance-wise at 297.5 yards, which is 82nd on the tour. The problems with Fleetwood are more with form. He has just one top-10 this year and a top-five at the WGC. That is it. With his scrambling and around-the-green ability taking a hit in 2021, this bodes poorly for Fleetwood's […]

Adam Scott's Putting Issues May Doom Him At PGA
Adam Scott has the driving distance (308 -- 16th) to compete at the PGA Championship. However, there is one big issue -- putting. Scott's putting has taken a serious step backwards in 2021. He ranks 161st in putts per round at 29,23. His scrambling may also be problematic. Players will not be quite as penalized […]

Patrick Reed Comes Into PGA Championship Looking Pretty Good
Patrick Reed is coming off a solid T6 finish at the Wells Fargo Championship. He hit the ball off the tee relatively well and will need to do that again at Kiawah Island (174th driving distance). The first three days of the tournament are expected to feature a heavy sea breeze. Reed also nabbed a […]

Bubba Wallace has had a trying year with his new racing team, 23XI Racing. The driver is outside the top-20 yet again and has finished outside the top-20 in all six races on the "Monster Mile".

Matt DiBenedetto Is A Good Choice At Dover
Matt DiBenedetto stands a chance to at least lead some more laps on Sunday at Dover. He led 17 and 11 laps respectively in the two races from the "Monster Mile" last season. The Wood Brothers Racing driver showed some speed and restraint last year. He knew when to attack the track and knew when […]

Chase Briscoe Will Gain More Experience At Dover On Sunday
Chase Briscoe will log some more laps at the Drydene 400 which should serve him well for the future. However, that time is not the present for the Stewart-Haas Racing driver. In six races on similar tracks, Briscoe has not cracked the top ten and just does not seem to be able to come close. […]

Alex Bowman Should Be Nice DFS Choice On Sunday At Dover
Alex Bowman has shown some excellent results at Dover of late. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has finished in the top five in three of his previous four appearances. The 21st place results mixed in was from a faulty tire and car. Overall, Bowman can drive hard and fast enough to keep up with the […]
