Joe Nicely 5 years agoWebb Simpson A Rock-Solid Option At Colonial
Webb Simpson has proven himself to be one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour over the last couple of years. That consistency - in addition to his strong course history at Colonial Country Club and sharp recent form - should make Simpson one of the most popular DFS options on the board […]

Joaquin Niemann is an exciting young player and appears to have a great PGA Tour career ahead of him. The Chilean picked up his first professional win earlier this season at A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier, but Niemann's play has dropped off sharply since that victory in the fall, and the 21-year-old missed the […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoSungjae Im Ready To Resume The Grind
It's fair to wonder what Sungjae Im has been up to since the PGA Tour halted play in March. Im, the reigning PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, has quickly earned the reputation of the "hardest working man in golf" due to his habit of playing almost every event on the schedule. The young Korean […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoMarc Leishman Having A Great Season
When the PGA Tour halted play in March, Marc Leishman was in the midst of a great season. Leishman captured the Farmers Insurance Open title earlier this year against an impressive field of competitors and scored a runner-up at the Arnold Palmer Invitational just six weeks later. It's a guessing game as to how this […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoJustin Rose Hopes To Regain Form
Justin Rose hopes an equipment change will help him regain his form when play resumes on the PGA Tour next week. Rose, the former top-ranked player in the world, parted ways with club company Honma during the Tour's stoppage and will presumably have different equipment in his bag when he tees it up at the […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoMatt Kuchar Is The King Of Consistency
Matt Kuchar is set to tee it up in the Charles Schwab Challenge when golf resumes next week. It's no surprise that the steady Kuchar was in the midst of another uber-consistent campaign when the PGA Tour halted play in March. The 41-year-old has logged five top-25 finishes in eight starts this season, including a […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoDaniel Berger Looks To Continue Career Resurgence
After two injury plagued seasons, two-time PGA Tour winner Daniel Berger has experienced a career resurgence in 2020. Still just 27 years old, Berger was once considered a rising star, but he plummeted down the official world golf ranking in recent years. His play this season has been a great reminder of just how talented […]

After a highly successful collegiate career at Stanford University, Maverick McNealy stumbled out of the gate as a professional. However, McNealy found his footing on the Korn Ferry Tour last season and earned his PGA Tour card for 2019-20 via his solid play. The 24-year-old has looked comfortable competing against the big boys this year, […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoPaul Casey Needs To Improve Putting Stroke
Paul Casey was off to a solid, but unspectacular, start to 2020. When play was halted, Casey had logged four top-25 finishes in seven starts, but had failed to record a top-10 finish. The Englishman's putting stroke is the main culprit for his recent lack of upside. Casey ranks 19th on the PGA Tour in […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoJon Rahm Looks To Continue Strong 2020 Play
Jon Rahm started 2020 on a blistering pace, with four top-10 finishes in five PGA Tour starts. The way the young Spaniard was playing this year, a global pandemic might have been the only thing that could slow him down. It will be interesting to see if the long layoff negatively impacts Rahm's game. We'll […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoJustin Rose Parts Ways With Honma Golf
In a move that many saw coming, 10-time PGA Tour winner and major champion Justin Rose has parted ways with equipment company Honma Golf. Rose was a longtime TaylorMade staff member before signing with Honma in 2019. Despite winning the Farmers Insurance Open shortly after putting the clubs in play, the Englishman's overall play and […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoThe PGA Tour Will Be Back Soon, Here Are Some Things I'm Looking Forward To
The PGA Tour is really close to returning to our lives. Last weekend’s charity match involving Rory McIlory and Dustin Johnson went well, which only strengthens my belief that the Tour might actually be able to pull this thing off next month. However, the COVID-19 situation is one that remains fluid, so there’s always the […]

When the news recently dropped that the Carolina Panthers were inking their superstar running back Christian McCaffrey to a four-year, $64 million extension that will pay him $16 million a year and make him the highest-paid RB in the history of the NFL, my reaction was mixed, to say the least. We’re all aware of […]

Joe Nicely 5 years agoThe Hangover: 2020 NFL Draft Headlines
This year’s NFL Draft was the most highly anticipated of all time, with the lack of live sports over the last month creating a rabid hunger in starved sports fans.

C'mon Rory, you gotta win that tournament! Ok...had to get that out of my system. My decision to burn Rory McIlroy at the Arnold Palmer Invitational sorta worked, as he nabbed a top-five and $330k for me. However, it was a tournament that was very winnable for him and that's what you're looking for when […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoPatrick Cantlay Set To Return To Action At The Players
Patrick Cantlay is set to tee it up in The Players Championship. It will be Cantlay's first start since a T17 finish at the Genesis Invitational nearly a month ago. The rising star's absence from competition was due to a surgical procedure to repair a deviated septum. Cantlay had previously had the same procedure done […]
Joe Nicely 5 years agoJim Furyk Looks To Make Another Run At The Players
Jim Furyk made a surprising charge at last year's Players Championship to log a surprising runner-up finish. The veteran was a dependable DFS option throughout 2019, but has struggled mightily this year. Furyk has missed the cut in all three of his starts in 2020. His recent poor results can be mostly attributed to a […]

After winning PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors last season, Sungjae Im is taking his game to the next level in 2020.
