Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Masters Tournament
The Valero Texas Open this past week in San Antonio was overtaken on the weekend by hellacious winds as Brian Harman held on to pick up his third PGA Tour victory, his first since winning the 2023 Open Championship. He led the field in strokes gained on approach and ranked sixth in strokes gained putting, […]

2025 Is The Best Chance For Rory McIlroy To Complete Career Grand Slam
Many years throughout Rory McIlroy's career have seemed ripe for him to capture a green jacket. Aside from the collapse in 2011, much of his inability to convert at Augusta has been from slow starts and poor play around the greens. In his last four starts at The Masters, McIlroy has lost strokes around the […]

Xander Schauffele In A Questionably Optimistic Spot Ahead Of Augusta
Coming off the season Xander Schauffele had in 2024, the beginning of this year hasn't been as smooth or dominant as many expected. A nagging rib injury kept him out for two months, and after making just three starts since his return to golf before this week, he'll tee it up on Thursday with seemingly […]

Jordan Spieth Will Be An Interesting Commodity At Augusta
Coming off a T12 in San Antonio, Jordan Spieth prepares to make his 12th career start at The Masters this week; the first since having wrist surgery this past August. Things have been as turbulent as we remember since returning to competition in February. Putting and approach play have been all over the place, but […]

Russell Henley Deserves Consideration At Augusta
When you think of must-have guys at The Masters, Russell Henley may not immediately come to mind. He only has one top-10 in eight career starts (T4 in 2023), but he also doesn't get things going too sideways with only one missed cut. 2025 has been good for the 35-year-old, with a win at the […]

Phil Mickelson Hopes To Roll Back The Clock At Augusta National
Phil Mickelson is making his 32nd appearance at The Masters this year and hopes the impressive form on display for LIV in recent weeks can make its way to Magnolia Lane for one last hoorah. Most guys butting up against Father Time aren't finding the same leverage to stay afloat as Mickelson. Putting has been […]

Shane Lowry Looking To Keep Momentum Going At The Masters
It has been a great start to the season for Shane Lowry as he makes his way to Augusta this week. He's racked up one top-5, two top-10s, and two top-20s in seven starts. He ranks sixth on the season in strokes gained on approach (+0.912), and 24th in strokes gained around the green (+0.295). […]

Dustin Johnson Looking For Consistent Form At Year's First Major
Unless you keep up with what happens on LIV golf, the state of the golf game for Dustin Johnson isn't nearly in the same limelight as before he left. However, he's rarely made his presence known on that circuit for much of the last two years. Nothing is clicking for the former Masters champion, with […]

Corey Conners Trending Ahead Of The Masters
It has been a quality run of golf for Corey Conners since leaving the West Coast, with finishes of third,T6,T8 and T18 over his last four starts. This is even more impressive, considering the weather has been a major contributor in the previous few events. The ball-striking prowess we've come to expect hasn't been as […]

Patrick Cantlay Needs A Good Putting Week At Augusta
There have been glimpses of form from Patrick Cantlay in 2025, though most came early in the year. He managed to finish T12 at The Players but has sandwiched two disappointing finishes outside the top 30 around that. The flat stick has been the deciding factor between contending and being in the middle of the […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Valero Texas Open
With one round standing between us, and the year's first major, most eyes are seemingly turning toward Augusta already. However, this week's Valero Texas Open is still far from over, as Brian Harman will try to hold off red-hot players behind him on Sunday; currently holding a three-shot lead. Tomorrow's outcome doesn't mean much in […]

Gary Woodland Showing Great Form Ahead Of Valero Texas Open
It was an inspiring week in Houston for Gary Woodland, who posted a final-round 62 on Sunday to leap into a T2 finish. This was the highest finish the former Jayhawk has had since returning from brain surgery 18 months ago. He had been showing signs of form all season, as he ranks fourth in […]

Alejandro Tosti A Volatile Choice At TPC San Antonio
It was a surprisingly successful, but typical raucous week in Houston for Alejandro Tosti. The 28-year-old finished in a tie for fifth after posting a season-high +2.45 total strokes gained average for the week. However, the bigger storyline is the antics between the ropes during Sunday's final round and Tosti's frustration with slow play. His […]

Jordan Spieth Needs To Find Consistency At TPC San Antonio
Perhaps one of the biggest conundrums for DFS this season is what to make of Jordan Spieth. The former Longhorn has returned to deliver the same gut-wrenching performances he did before his injury stint. Approach play has been all over the place, with him gaining over seven shots with his irons at both the Phoenix […]

Jake Knapp Making First Appearance At Valero Texas Open
Coming off a T27 this past week in Houston, Jake Knapp is making his first start at TPC San Antonio this week. Hopes were much higher for the former Bruin at Memorial Park than the result we got; given his length off the tee and knack for playing in windier conditions. However, his short game […]

Michael Kim Looking To Find The Magic Again In San Antonio
After a strong run through the last part of the west-coast swing and the first part of Florida that included two top-five finishes, one top-10, and two top-15s, Michael Kim has cooled off in recent weeks. He missed the cut at TPC Sawgrass and has failed to crack the top 25 in his last two […]

Tommy Fleetwood Is Nearly A Must-Play At Valero Texas Open
It has been an incredible start to the season for Tommy Fleetwood, as he prepares for the year's first major next week at Augusta National. He's made six professional starts in 2025 and hasn't finished worse than T22. TPC San Antonio is a ball striker's golf course, with many narrow, undulating greens that force players […]

Tony Finau Hoping For Better Approach Play In San Antonio
Other than a couple of bright spots this season, Tony Finau is struggling to find success in the first half of the season. Most recently, he finished T32 last week in Houston and missed the cut at the Players Championship in the start before that. Approach play has dipped in recent weeks, as he lost […]

Eric Cole Trending In Right Direction Ahead Of Valero
It has been a productive last couple of weeks for Eric Cole, as the 36-year-old has had back-to-back top-15 finishes at the Valspar and last week in Houston. During that time, he's gained over six strokes on approach and four strokes putting. Last week at Memorial Park was particularly impressive given the length of the […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Valero Texas Open
Min Woo Lee finally captured his first career victory this past week in Houston, as the young Austrailian held off charging players in Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland to win by one stroke at -20 under par.

We have officially hit the part of the schedule where all eyes are turned toward Augusta National and the Masters Tournament, but first, we have a short run in Texas. This week, the PGA Tour headed to Houston, Texas, for the Texas Children's Houston Open. Moving day was a crazy one, as Min Woo Lee […]

Scottie Scheffler Returns To Houston Looking For Year's First Victory
Given the run he's been on over the last few seasons, it is a bit shocking that Scottie Scheffler hasn't managed to win this event despite giving it incredible chances in recent memory. He's been a bridesmaid at Memorial Park for two of the last three years, and with the slow and frustrating start to […]

Rory McIlroy Making Additional Start At Houston Open To Prepare For Augusta
There is no other way to explain the Rory McIlroy show making a stop in Houston this week than that he feels as close as he possibly ever has to winning a green jacket. It's certainly the hottest start to a season he's had in quite some time, coming off the second Players Championship win […]

Doug Ghim Looking For Iron Form In Houston
After a hot start to the season from a ball-striking standpoint, Doug Ghim has hit a rough patch over his last two starts, losing over seven shots in this area over his two previous events. For a guy who cuts his teeth on the tee-to-green area of the game, this is concerning at a ballpark […]

Keep An Eye On Aaron Rai At Houston Open
Since leaving the West Coast, Aaron Rai has been scaring leaderboards at every turn with T4, T11, and T14 finishes in his last three starts. Those have come on the back of consistent putting and red-hot ball-striking. In his previous three outings, Rai has averaged plus-0.436 strokes gained putting, plus-1.226 strokes gained on approach, and […]

Si Woo Kim Looks To Build On Recent History At Memorial Park
This will be the fourth edition of this event that Si Woo Kim has played at Memorial Park Golf Course after making two previous starts at the Golf Club of Houston. In those three outings, he progressed from a missed cut in 2021 to a T35 in 2023 and a T17 last season. Strokes gained […]

Joe Highsmith Continues Post-Win Success And Is Looking For More In Houston
Florida was kind to Joe Highsmith in the four tournaments played in 2025, racking up a win, two top 25s, and a missed cut. The 24-year-old has received such a jolt of life since switching to the warm seasoned grass in Mexico that has propelled him into 18th in the FedEx Cup points race. He's […]

Adam Hadwin Far From Good Form As He Heads To Texas
It wasn't a good run in Florida for Adam Hadwin, as he missed the cut at both The Players and Valspar Championships and was the center of attention on X last week for busting a sprinkler head in frustration. It's easy to see why, as the Canadian averaged -1.41 strokes gained on approach during the […]

Nick Dunlap Looking For Ball-Striking Form Ahead Of Houston Open
It has been a rough stretch over the last couple of events for Nick Dunlap, as he has posted true strokes gained averages of -3.78 and -3.57 in strokes gained off the tee en route to missing back-to-back cuts at The Players and the API. That type of performance won't get things done, even at […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open
It was a good run in Florida, as the Valspar Championship ended in a dramatic showdown between Justin Thomas and Viktor Hovland. After going -2 under on the "Snake Pit", Hovland took a commanding lead coming down the stretch after J.T. hit wayward drives on holes 16 and 18, leading to two costly bogeys and […]
