Chris Kirk Seeking A Return To Form At Sedgefield
Chris Kirk opened the 2023 calendar year with elite form. In his first four events, the current World No. 41 golfer posted a solo third-place finish at the Sony Open, a T3 at The American Express, and a victory at The Honda Classic. But he enters this week's Wyndham Championship having missed the cut in […]

Ludvig Aberg has garnered plenty of attention on the PGA Tour in 2023. The former World No. 1 Amateur opened the calendar year with six-straight made cuts, culminating with a T4 finish at the John Deere Classic in July. But he has disappointed fantasy managers who invested in him in his last two starts, which […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoShane Lowry Offers Limited Upside At Sedgefield
Shane Lowry made six consecutive cuts, including five finishes of T20 or better, prior to his missed cut two weeks ago at The Open Championship. While his recent form has been solid, fantasy managers should be leery of his upside at the Wyndham Championship. Lowry hasn't posted a finish inside of the top-10 on the […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoAdam Scott A Costly Option At Wyndham
Adam Scott will garner plenty of attention in a weaker field at this week's Wyndham Championship. While he does have a solid track record on short courses, along with three top-10 finishes to his name in 2023, he has missed the cut in two of his last four events and does not appear to be […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoStephan Jaeger In Great Form Entering 3M Open
Stephan Jaeger has been paying off for fantasy managers that have chose to invest in him since the start of the year. The 34-year-old German has made 18 out of 19 cuts so far in 2023, and he's gained over three strokes from tee to green in nine of his last 10 events. Despite a […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoJustin Thomas Tough To Trust In Blaine
Justin Thomas should have plenty of motivation to play well this week. He's currently outside of the cut line for a FedEx Cup playoff spot with just two events remaining, and his position on the Ryder Cup team is being questioned by many in the golf universe. Thomas' recent form should give fantasy managers plenty […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoHideki Matsuyama Trending Up Ahead Of 3M Open
Hideki Matsuyama will be a popular option for fantasy managers this week, and rightfully so. Over the last 36 rounds, the Japanese star ranks third in strokes gained on approach, first from tee-to-green, fourth in greens-in-regulation, and third in strokes-gained total. Matsuyama has made the cut in 13 of 16 events so far in 2023, […]

J.J. Spaun will be a popular fantasy option at the 3M Open on the heels of a T10 finish at last week's Barracuda Championship. He gained over 15.31 strokes ball-striking in that event, which was the best ball-striking performance of his career by almost five strokes. Hidden in that performance was the fact that he […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoCameron Davis A Horse For 3M Course
Cameron Davis has certainly had his fair share of struggles in 2023. He opened the year with missed cuts in six of his first seven events, and he's on pace to have the worst putting season of his professional career. But Davis has historically played TPC Twin Cities well, having made three straight cuts here […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoLee Hodges A Sneaky Option At The 3M Open
Lee Hodges has quietly put together some solid performances in recent months, and fantasy managers have hopefully taken notice. The second-year PGA Tour professional has posted four top-30 finishes in his last seven starts, including a pair of T12 results at the Genesis Scottish Open this month and the Memorial Tournament in early June. Hodges' […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoThomas Pieters Offers Little Upside At The Open
Thomas Pieters is likely entering The Open with some confidence, following his T6 finish at LIV Golf London two weeks ago. It was his best performance and first top-10 finish since joining LIV back in February. But fantasy managers shouldn't expect similar results for the Belgian native and world No. 73 at Royal Liverpool this […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoSi Woo Kim A Potential Value At Hoylake
Si Woo Kim has been a boom-or-bust option as of late, but statistics are pointing to a boom at The Open this week. Over the last 50 rounds, Kim enters the field ranking eighth in driving accuracy and inside of the top 20 in the key approach proximities of 175-200 yards and 200-225 yards. He […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoMin Woo Lee A Player To Avoid At The Open
Min Woo Lee has been a popular golfer for fantasy managers this year. The 24-year-old Australian is exciting to watch and has shown the ability to compete with the world's best, as evidenced by his last two major performances being a T5 at the U.S. Open and a T18 at the PGA Championship. But Lee […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoTony Finau Seeking A Return To Form At Royal Liverpool
It hasn't been pretty for Tony Finau since his win at the Mexico Open back in April. In his six starts since that victory, he's missed two cuts and has yet to post a top-20 finish. His putter has been ice-cold during that stretch, as he's lost over two strokes on the green in five […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoWyndham Clark A Solid Option At The Open
There aren't too many golfers who can say they've had a better 2023 than Wyndham Clark. He has made the cut in 16 of 17 events, including nine top-10 finishes and two outright victories. Included in one of those victories was his first major championship at the U.S. Open back in June. Royal Liverpool will […]
Ryan Hickey 1 year agoSungjae Im Tough To Trust At Hoylake
Sungjae Im appears to be an excellent course fit at Royal Liverpool from a statistical perspective. Accuracy off the tee will be paramount to success this week with numerous fairway bunkers and penalty areas awaiting golfers, and Im enters the field ranking sixth in driving accuracy and 15th in fairways gained over the last 50 […]

Padraig Harrington may have taken his talents to the Champions Tour, but the three-time PGA Tour winner has shown that he still has plenty of gas left in the tank to compete with the world's elite. Look no further than the US Open in June, where the 51-year-old Irishman surprised with a T27 finish, which […]

Alexander Bjork has been on an incredible run on the DP World Tour, and fantasy managers would be wise to take note. He enters this week's Scottish Open on the heels of three straight top-10 finishes, bringing his top-10 total to six so far in 2023 in just 13 combined events. Bjork hasn't missed a […]

MJ Daffue is a tempting fantasy option at the Rocket Mortgage Classic if you're buying into the bomb-and-gauge approach as a viable strategy, but fantasy managers would be wise to look elsewhere to fill out their rosters this week. Daffue's driving distance is undeniably his greatest strength and he will enter this week as the […]

Patton Kizzire will be teeing it off at Detroit Country Club for the fifth straight year but offers very limited upside in fantasy lineups. There will be a major premium on off-the-tee performance this week, and he ranks 116th in the field in that category over the last 36 rounds. Kizzire has lost strokes off […]

He gained strokes in […]
