Rickie Fowler Looks To Repeat 2023 Phoenix Open Showing
It was this time last year that Rickie Fowler officially put himself back on the map for many golf fans. The 34-year-old was throwing darts all over TPC Scottsdale en route to a T10 finish, gaining 6.3 strokes on approach and 4.1 strokes putting. So far in 2024, however, things have looked bleak. The California […]

Byeong Hun An has turned some heads early in 2024, as he quickly placed in the top five in both the Sentry and Sony Open tournaments to start the year. His showing at Pebble Beach was not nearly as glamorous, but the 32-year-old certainly won't scoff at a T31 finish. Now An heads to TPC […]

Matt Fitzpatrick heads to the Waste Management Phoenix Open this week coming off of a T58 at Pebble Beach and a missed cut at the Sony Open. Surprisingly, it's been the irons that have let Fitzy down of late. Outside of a spark in the pan during his runner-up finish at the BMW Championship last […]

Before taking the week off last week, Sam Burns placed sixth at the American Express two weeks ago, and while strokes gained data is largely tough to pinpoint at that event, we do know he gained an impressive 9.9 total strokes in La Quinta. That upside is what we've come to know from Burns, but […]

After two strong starts to start 2024, Sungjae Im's game fell apart at the Farmers, and he missed the cut for the first time since last July. The South Korean has yet to put everything together, but it's still early. Im heads to Pebble Beach for just the second time in his career, with a […]

Eric Cole is coming off his first missed cut since last May, but you'd think he's been out of the picture for a while based on his $7,300 DraftKings price tag. On the contrary, the California native was playing great golf before the Farmers, having gained a combined 17.4 strokes in his first three events […]

Si Woo Kim has gotten off to a great start from tee to green, as he improved his 1.7 strokes gained from tee to green at The Sentry to an impressive 6.3 at last week's Sony Open. However, a combined minus-3.7 strokes putting left him outside the top 20 in both events. The putting woes […]
Tommy Bell 10 months agoAdam Schenk Looks To Find Putter At La Quinta
Adam Schenk's ability to get red-hot with both his irons and flat stick on any given week paid dividends for him last year, as he collected seven top-10s and three top-five finishes in 2023, including two runner-up finishes at the Valspar and Charles Schwab. The 31-year-old came out throwing darts at The Sentry two weeks […]
Tommy Bell 10 months agoStephan Jaeger Looks To Continue Upward Trend At AmEx
Despite a lack of top-five finishes in 2023, Stephan Jaeger has quietly been a model of consistency on the PGA Tour going back to his last missed cut last April at the RBC Heritage. The German had just one top-10 (Rocket Mortgage) in that frame, but his stellar off-the-tee around-the-green game along with improvements in […]

Wyndham Clark came out firing in all categories but one in his 2024 debut at The Sentry: strokes gained in putting. The 30-year-old lost 6.1 strokes with the flat stick, a number he hadn't eclipsed since August of 2022. Putting was a major strength of Clark's game in the back half of 2023, propelling him […]

Despite not playing in the Sony Open since 2017, it's tough to ignore the incredible course history that Justin Rose possesses when it comes to Waiʻalae Country Club. Prior to a runner-up finish in 2017, the 43-year-old logged a 13th place finish in 2011 and a 12th place finish in 2010. The Englishman clearly has […]

Just under a stroke lost putting was the only thing holding the California native back from an early-season top-10 in […]

Englishman Matt Wallace heads to Waiʻalae Country Club for his first Sony Open this week. The 32-year-old is coming off a 40th place finish at The Sentry last week, as his iron play was the only part of his game that kept him afloat.

A 33-year-old journeyman by the name of Ben Kohles makes his way back to the PGA Tour this year after leading the Korn Ferry Tour in points last season. His most recent showing at the RSM in October was encouraging, as he gained 4.4 strokes on approach en route to a top-5 finish. The good […]

Despite gaining 6.5 strokes from tee to green this past week in Kapalua at The Sentry, Corey Conners finished T33 as a result of his horrid -7.1 strokes putting. Even still, Conners will be a popular DraftKings play at an elevated $9,800 price tag as well as a common wager among outright bettors when he […]

J.T. Poston has started his 2024 campaign off on a strong note once again, placing fifth at The Sentry on the beautiful island of Maui last week.

Despite a win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a runner-up finish at The CJ Cup last year, Kurt Kitayama disappeared for long stretches of 2023, racking up missed cuts in bunches. The 30-year-old's biggest weakness at the end of the season was his putting, which would thwart any good showings he would come across […]
Tommy Bell 11 months agoRussell Henley Looks For Redemption At Kapalua
Russell Henley was one of the fun surprises at the end of 2023, as the 34-year-old found his groove, finishing 14th or better in each of his last six events. The unconscious tee-to-green game has always been there in short stretches for the Georgia native, especially at The Sony Open in past years, which is […]

Despite some brilliant spurts from the 26-year-old Cameron Young in 2023, the American is still looking for his first PGA Tour win. After five top-10 finishes in 2022, Young failed to crack the top-five last year, in large part due to his inconsistencies with his irons. The former Demon Deacon dropped shots on approach in […]

One of the most exciting prospects on the PGA Tour this season is Tom (Joohyung) Kim. The 21-year-old South Korean burst onto the scene last year, nabbing six top-10 finishes, including two in major events and one at this same Sentry tournament a year ago. Coming off an impressive win at the Shriners in October, […]

Wyndham Clark couldn't have asked for a much better 2023 in regards to his PGA Tour results, winning twice (including the U.S. Open) and collecting eight top-10 finishes. However, the late bloomer has yet to play at The Sentry, and while his form at the end of 2023 suggests he's a safe bet to make […]

The key to Brendon Todd's success is simple: Putt the lights out. The 38-year-old has gained strokes putting in each of his last four appearances, eclipsing 6.5 SG: Putting in two of those events. Todd has landed in the top-10 each time he's reached that level of success with his flat stick this season, but […]

It wasn't too long ago that the golf world was dubbing Emiliano Grillo one of the better approach players in the world while scolding his putting as one of the worst.

Tyrell Hatton peaked in Europe, gaining almost 15 strokes to the field in the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open combined.

Such a drop-off in both of his strongest areas […]

Jordan Spieth has bounced back nicely to end his 2023 season, placing 23rd at The Open followed by sixth at the FedEx St. Jude last week. That's great to see, but seeing him lose 1.4 strokes on approach a couple of weeks after gaining 4.59 strokes in the same category is a bit head-scratching. One […]
