Tony Finau Returns To Royal Troon

Tony Finau played his first Open Championship at Royal Troon in 2016, posting a strong T18 finish while gaining 2.38 strokes on the field. Though he was cut from the event in 2023, his results prior to last year had been very strong across the pond. The Utah native appears to be peaking at the […]

Justin Thomas Returns To The Site Of His First Open

Justin Thomas played his very first Open Championship at Royal Troon in 2016, placing T53. Since then, the Kentucky native has been cut from the event in three of six appearances and placed better than T40 just once. On top of his poor form across the pond, Thomas has struggled in the states, with his […]

Brooks Koepka Debuts At Royal Troon

Brooks Koepka missed The Open in 2016, so this week will be his first visit to Royal Troon in Scotland. The five-time major winner has claimed one victory on the LIV Tour this season, but he's been largely disappointing otherwise, failing to log a top-25 finish in any of the previous three majors this year. […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Unlikely Aces Worth A Roster Spot? (Week 16)

Welcome back to another week of Unlikely Aces. We are just a few days away from the All-Star break, which means we'll be approaching fantasy baseball trade deadlines before we know it. Luckily, thanks to the constant shifting of the Major League Baseball pitching landscape, there may still be some arms to help managers on […]

Hitter Sell-Highs? Second Half Fantasy Baseball Outlooks for Gunnar Henderson, Rafael Devers, Jurickson Profar, Others

The annual All-Star break offers fantasy baseball managers a great chance to assess and revamp their rosters for the stretch run. With both the fantasy and real-life trade deadlines looming, this stage of the season signifies one of the last key opportunities to make a potentially league-winning swap. These sell-high picks consider a combination of […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Unlikely Aces Worth A Roster Spot? (Week 15)

Welcome back to another week of Unlikely Aces. We have officially reached July, and teams have eclipsed the halfway mark of the season. We are flying toward the All-Star break at breakneck speed, and we're nearing now-or-never time for fantasy managers who find themselves in the bottom third of their league standings. Each week, I'll […]

Eric Cole Looks To Keep Momentum At John Deere

Eric Cole had missed four of his last six cuts heading to Detroit last week when he finally broke through to place T6 while gaining strokes in all areas of his game. 2024 looked like a breakthrough season for the 36-year-old, as he came out with six top-21 finishes through his first nine events, but […]

J.T. Poston Returns To TPC Deere Run

J.T. Poston has been inconsistent on the PGA Tour this year, but he'll surely be welcoming the return of the John Deere Classic this week, as he won the event in 2021 before placing T6 last season. The scorer-friendly track seems to cure what issues Poston has with his driver each year, and his putting […]

Red-Hot Aaron Rai Makes John Deere Debut

Aaron Rai has been one of the most consistent players on the planet over the past two months, and he nearly capped it off with his first PGA Tour win at the Rocket Mortgage last week. The 29-year-old struggled to make big putts on Sunday to end up just one shot short of the winner, […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Unlikely Aces Worth A Roster Spot? (Week 14)

Welcome back to another week of Unlikely Aces. This time next week, we'll be grilling hot dogs, watching fireworks, and celebrating our freedom. It will be August before we know it! Fantasy baseball managers are running out of time to find those season-saving arms on the waiver wire, but surely there are still some league-winning […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Is Jake Irvin The Real Deal?

When it came time to lock down the opening roster for this season, the Washington Nationals showed faith in a middle-of-the-road right-handed pitcher named Jake Irvin. He logged 121 MLB innings in 2023, resulting in a 4.61 ERA, 99 strikeouts, 54 walks, and 20 homers allowed. Irvin opened 2024 in Washington, and the results have […]

Min Woo Lee Heads To Detroit For Rocket Mortgage Debut

Surprisingly enough, Min Woo Lee has never played in the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. While that throws course history out the window, it is interesting to note that hot putting performances tend to go a long way for winners at DGC, and the 25-year-old has certainly shown the ability to go nuclear […]

Can Justin Lower Putt The Lights Out In Detroit Again?

Justin Lower has struggled to stay relevant in stronger fields so far this season, but this week could be one in which he provides value. It all comes down to his putting. In two career appearances at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, the 35-year-old has combined for 12.6 strokes gained with the putter. That compares to […]

Maverick McNealy In Good Form Returning To Detroit

Maverick McNealy missed the cut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2022, and he was left out of the field in 2023, but he still finds himself towards the top of the betting odds thanks to some strong form in the dog days of summer. The California native has gained an average of 6.3 SG: […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Unlikely Aces Worth A Roster Spot? (Week 13)

Welcome back to another week of Unlikely Aces. It's wild to think we are less than a month away from the All-Star break. Fantasy baseball managers are running out of time to find those season-saving arms on the waiver wire. But if past years serve as an example, there are still some league-winning starting pitchers […]

Fantasy Baseball Hitter Battles: Bryce Harper vs. Teoscar Hernandez, Josh Naylor vs. Anthony Santander, and Bryson Stott vs. Andres Gimenez

Last week, Corbin Young wrote a tremendous article outlining three starting pitcher battles to consider while ranking players for the rest of the 2024 fantasy baseball season. So, this week, I'll be taking on the same task with some hot hitter names that should be useful for fantasy managers everywhere. In each section, we'll present […]

Sungjae Im Has Been Thriving At Non-Major Events

Sungjae Im has missed the cut at all three major events so far in 2024, but non-major Im has been fantastic over the past month. The South Korean placed fourth at the Wells Fargo, ninth at the Charles Schwab, and eighth at the Memorial thanks to great driving statistics and a strong putter that apparently […]

Corey Conners Finding His Short Game

Corey Conners has long been known as a ball-striking phenom who just needs a slightly above-average putting week to find himself atop the leaderboard. Well, in two of his last three events, the 32-year-old has gained more than three strokes with the flat stick. He's added on a combined 8.3 strokes gained around-the-green in those […]

Tony Finau Brings Great Form To Travelers

Tony Finau was one poor Saturday round away from truly being in the mix at the U.S. Open last week, but the third-place finish continued a marvelous stretch of play that began at the end of March. The 34-year-old was runner-up at the Houston Open three months ago, and since then he's placed in the […]

Patrick Cantlay Looks For Ninth Career Win In Connecticut

Patrick Cantlay has a near-perfect tournament history resume when it comes to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT. The 32-year-old has placed 15th or better in each of the last six years at the Travelers, with his best finish (4th place) coming last season. Cantlay has gained strokes in all four aspects of his game […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Unlikely Aces Worth A Roster Spot?

Mid-June means warmer nights, more humidity, and some pitcher blow-ups that will balloon the ERA of many fantasy managers. More than ever, it's important to nail some pitcher pickups on the waiver wire. A timely add now could pay huge dividends as we quickly approach the halfway point of the MLB season. Each week, I'll […]

Alex Noren Brings Improved Short Game To Pinehurst

Alex Noren has always been known for his strong approach play, but it's been his improved around-the-green numbers that have seen him place in the top-25 in all but one of his last 10 events on the PGA Tour. The Sweden native is typically known for firing low numbers at scoring-friendly tracks, but this new […]

Can Dustin Johnson Put A Rough Spring Behind Him?

As we cruise into the summer stretch of golf in 2024, it's safe to say that Dustin Johnson had a surprisingly rough spring stretch, as he placed in the top 10 on the LIV Tour just once since his win on February 10, missed the cut at The Masters, and placed T43 at the PGA […]

Jordan Spieth Fighting Poor Form Heading To U.S. Open

Jordan Spieth has placed in the top 20 just twice since February, and the reason behind it has been shocking, to say the least. The 13-time PGA Tour winner has struggled on the greens, around the greens, and on approach throughout much of 2024 thus far. It's hard to imagine these woes magically heal at […]

Tommy Fleetwood Makes Pinehurst No. 2 Debut

Tommy Fleetwood hasn't won on American soil yet this season, but he does have a Dubai Invitational trophy to show for his hard work, along with just one missed cut in 2024. While the 33-year-old's approach and putting games come and go like an English rain storm, his around-the-green and off-the-tee consistency has afforded him […]

Bryson DeChambeau Looks To Continue Major Success

Of the five major events hosted on American soil between this season and last, Bryson DeChambeau has placed 20th or better in four of them, and three of those finishes have been sixth or higher. Although he hasn't won a major since the 2020 US Open, the 30-year-old has started to become a force to […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Unlikely Aces Worth A Roster Spot?

The arrival of June comes with a feeling of panic for many fantasy baseball managers who are desperately trying to patch holes in their starting pitcher rotation due to injuries and/or lackluster performances. Fortunately, many leagues have hidden gems available on the waiver wire if we look deep enough. Each week, I'll take a look […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Unlikely Aces Worth A Roster Spot?

It's wild to believe we are two months into the MLB and fantasy baseball season already. As summer weather starts to set in, starting pitchers with negative regression signs will need to work extra hard to prove their strong starts are worthy of a roster spot all season long. A few starters have held on […]

Adam Svensson Looking For Putting Consistency

Adam Svensson has been locked in from tee to green of late, as he's gained 4.7 strokes off the tee in his last three events combined while gaining at least 1.8 strokes on approach in all but one of his last seven PGA Tour appearances. However, the question mark for the Canadian comes in the […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Royals Rotation More Than Just Cole Ragans?

The Kansas City Royals offense has shown some exciting spurts to start the year, and the bonus has been their pitching, which has exceeded expectations to an even higher degree through the first six weeks of 2024. Cole Ragans has displayed the impressive strikeout stuff and impressive xFIP that many predicted when he came into […]
