Trust Ludvig Aberg At Pinehurst
Ludvig Aberg was a popular option for fantasy managers at the PGA Championship back in mid-May, but he disappointed with an uncharacteristically average ball-striking performance to go along with his first missed cut since the Genesis Scottish Open in July of 2023. Concerns over his injured right knee were compounded, as evident by his lower-than-expected […]

Without a doubt, Xander Schauffele has been the second-best golfer in the world this season next to Scottie Scheffler. The 30-year-old Tour star has been dominant in 2024, making every single cut and posting nine top-10 finishes in just 15 starts this calendar year, including his first Major victory at the PGA Championship less than […]
Ryan Hickey 5 months agoPatrick Cantlay A Course Horse At Muirfield Village
Patrick Cantlay has had a bit of a up-and-down season by his own lofty standards. Currently sitting at OWGR No. 9, the 32-year-old Tour star has finished outside of the top-20 in his last three starts, and he hasn't won an event since the BMW Championship in August of 2022. But he is still a […]

After giving up another Sunday lead and finishing runner-up to Scottie Scheffler at the Wells Fargo Championship, the narrative about Xander Schauffele not being able to close out a lead grew to a fever pitch. But the 30-year-old Tour star was quick to silence his critics with a dominant performance the following week at Valhalla, […]

The 2023 RBC Canadian Open produced one of the best finishes in recent golf memory, as Nick Taylor sank a 72-foot put to defeat Tommy Fleetwood in a playoff to become the first Canadian to win his national open in 69 years. Corey Conners will be looking to make it back-to-back Canadian winners this week. […]

Tommy Fleetwood heads to Hamilton Golf and Country Club seeking his first PGA Tour victory. The 33-year old Brit does have eight international victories to his name, including earlier this year at the Dubai Invitational, and he's certainly been knocking on the door over the past several months. He's only missed one cut in 10 […]

Aaron Rai is starting to knock on the door for his first PGA Tour victory.

Ryan Hickey 6 months agoMackenzie Hughes A Sleeper At RBC Canadian Open
Mackenzie Hughes is one of the few golfers in the field with reasonable expectations to make it back-to-back Canadian winners at the RBC Canadian Open this week. The two-time PGA Tour winner does have four top-10 finishes so far in the 2023-2024 season, with his most recent one coming as a T6 at the Wells […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoMark Hubbard Lacking Upside At Hamilton Golf & Country Club
Mark Hubbard lines up to be a solid course fit once again at the RBC Canadian Open, but he'll likely end up as another disappointing option for fantasy managers this week. Despite not having missed a cut since the RSM Classic in November of 2023, Hubbard only has one top-10 finish in his fourteen starts […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoMatt Wallace An Intriguing Option At RBC Canadian Open
Matt Wallace could be a value play for fantasy managers at Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The 34-year-old Brit and previous Tour champion is currently projecting to be one of the lowest-owned options in DraftKings' $7,000-range despite entering the week in solid form. He's made the cut in five of his last six starts, including […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoMark Hubbard Trending Up Ahead Of Charles Schwab Challenge
Mark Hubbard isn't always the model of consistency, but he is trending in the right direction heading into the Charles Schwab Challenge. The OWGR No. 76 heads to Fort Worth with zero missed cuts to his name in the 2024 calendar, a span of 14 events that includes four top-25 finishes. Hubbard also had a […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoAlejandro Tosti Headed For Trouble At Colonial
Alejandro Tosti provided one of the more memorable highlights of the PGA Championship last week when his drive carried 325 yards and landed squarely in the middle of the par-four island green on the 13th hole. That shot emphasized what is undoubtedly the best weapon in the 27-year-old Argentinian's bag -- his driving distance. Unfortunately […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoChan Kim A Potential Value At Charles Schwab Challenge
Chan Kim could be a leverage option in the $6,000 salary range on DraftKings this week. The 34-year-old Tour rookie is viewed as a late bloomer who is rounding into form, having posted six top-30 finishes in 14 starts in the 2024 calendar year. Kim does have eight international victories on his resume, including back-to-back […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoS.H. Kim A Sneaky Option At Colonial
Fantasy managers should not be sleeping on S.H. Kim at the Charles Schwab Challenge. The 25-year-old South Korean is starting to find a rhythm in his rookie season, having made seven consecutive cuts (excluding the Zurich Classic), with his best result coming as a T4 at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson three starts ago. He […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoJustin Suh A Player To Avoid At Charles Schwab Challenge
Justin Suh was a popular golfer for fantasy managers in the Fall Swing.

But the […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoMatthi Schmid Looks To Regain Form At Colonial
Matti Schmid certainly won't check the recent form box at the Charles Schwab Challenge. The 26-year-old German enters the week on the heels of three consecutive missed cuts, most recently in a watered-down field at the Myrtle Beach Classic. Prior to those missed cuts, however, Schmid made the cut in six-straight events while posting five […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoXander Schauffele A Safe Option For PGA Championship
Another week, another disappointing Sunday for Xander Schauffele. The 30-year-old PGA Tour superstar entered the final round of the Wells Fargo Championship with a one-shot lead over Rory McIlroy, but he eventually succumbed to the pressure yet again en route to a runner-up finish. While his recent results have been disappointing for outright bettors in […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoMax Homa Looks To Repeat Masters Success
Thanks to his third-place finish at this year's Masters, Max Homa has seemingly shed the narrative that he doesn't have the ability to contend in Majors. With that pressure gone, the 33-year-old Tour superstar will have his sights set on the Wanamaker Trophy at Valhalla. Fantasy managers should be salivating at the thought of rostering […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoWill Zalatoris Big-Game Hunting At Valhalla
Will Zalatoris' resume still lacks a Major Championship victory, but it certainly hasn't been for lack of effort. The 27-year-old Wake Forest alum has been a staple on Major leaderboards over the years, having posted seven top-10 finish in his 12 career Major appearances, including most recently with a T9 finish at this year's Masters. […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoSam Burns A Risky Play At PGA Championship
Sam Burns looked solid in his first action back following the birth of his first child, gaining close to three strokes from tee-to-green and over two strokes putting en route to a T13 finish at the Wells Fargo Championship last week. Fantasy managers may no longer have to worry about him withdrawing mid-tournament to attend […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoDustin Johnson Seeking Third Major Victory At PGA Championship
Dustin Johnson is likely to be a polarizing option for fantasy managers this week. The 24-time PGA Tour winner and two-time Major champion undoubtedly has the pedigree and skill set to contend at any event anywhere in the world, just as he's proven on the LIV Tour in recent months. Johnson has an outright victory […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoMin Woo Lee A Golfer To Watch At Valhalla
Min Woo Lee is likely to be a popular option for fantasy managers at the PGA Championship this week, and perhaps rightfully so. The up-and-coming 25-year-old Tour star has posted nine top-25 finishes in his seven starts in the 2024 calendar year, including back-to-back top-25 finishes at the Masters and The CJ Cup Byron Nelson. […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoRickie Fowler Makes His Return To Valhalla
The 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla produced one of the most memorable Major finishes in recent golf history, with Rory McIlroy making a late charge in the near darkness to capture his fourth Major title. Sometimes forgotten in that story is PGA Tour veteran Rickie Fowler, who held a share of a three-shot lead at […]
Ryan Hickey 6 months agoPatrick Cantlay Looking To Reverse Quail Hollow Fortunes
Patrick Cantlay won't be on any course-horse lists as he heads to Charlotte this week. The PGA Tour star and current No. 8 golfer in the official rankings has had a rough go of things in his last two starts at Quail Hollow. He finished with a middling T21 last year while carrying a $10,500 […]
Ryan Hickey 7 months agoHideki Matsuyama Eyeing 10th Tour Victory In Charlotte
Hideki Matsuyama was a popular selection in his last Tour start at the Masters, but he disappointed fantasy managers with a T38 finish. There should be no hesitation to go right back to the well with the 32-year-old Japanese star this week. Matsuyama's recent form is one of the best in the field, as prior […]
Ryan Hickey 7 months agoRussell Henley A Player To Avoid At Wells Fargo Championship
Russell Henley will likely be a popular option for fantasy managers this week based on recent form, but it may be wise to proceed with caution at this year's Wells Fargo Championship. The 35-year-old tour veteran has three top-10 finishes in just 10 events in the 2024 calendar year, and generally projects as a safe, […]
Ryan Hickey 7 months agoWill Zalatoris Back In Action At Quail Hollow
Will Zalatoris disappointed the golf world as a local favorite last week when he withdrew from the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, citing the need for rest and recovery after a flare-up in his surgically repaired lower back. While that may give fantasy managers some pause when deciding to roster him this week, the young PGA […]
Ryan Hickey 7 months agoChristiaan Bezuidenhout Rolling Into Wells Fargo Championship
Fantasy managers will have no problem checking the recent form box for Christiaan Bezuidenhout this week. The 29-year-old South African has finished inside of the top-30 in eight of his 11 PGA Tour starts in the 2024 calendar year, and he posted a T3 in his most recent start two weeks ago at the DP […]
Ryan Hickey 7 months agoDenny McCarthy A Risky Option At Quail Hollow
Fantasy managers will face a tough decision on rostering Denny McCarthy at the Wells Fargo Championship. Quail Hollow notoriously demands excellence off-the-tee and places a premium on driving distance, both categories which are major weaknesses in the 31-year-old pro's game. However, McCarthy notably ranks 20th in the field in strokes gained on long courses, and […]
Ryan Hickey 7 months agoJ.T. Poston Showing Upside Ahead Of Wells Fargo Championship
J.T. Poston will surely be on the radar of many fantasy managers this week. The eighth-year pro and current OWGR No. 40 followed up his impressive T30 finish at the Masters with a T5 at the RBC Heritage, marking his seventh top-10 finish in the 2023-2024 PGA Tour season. Statistically, Poston does not appear to […]
