Tom Hoge Makes For A Great Spot Start At Shriners Children's Open
It was a solid year for Tom Hoge in 2024, as the 35-year-old accumulated four top 10s and 12 top 25s en route to finishing T29th in the FedEx Cup race. That success was due in large part to impeccable iron play, ranking third on the PGA Tour in strokes gained on approach (+0.795). Which, […]

From a cuts-made perspective, Justin Lower is one of the best in the field, as the 35-year-old looks to make his ninth cut in a row this week in Utah. However, it has been difficult for him to crack the top 25 in most of them with an average finish of 39th over that span. […]

It's been a solid run of golf since mid-July for Patrick Fishburn, as the 32-year-old has only missed one cut in six events over that span. He is coming off a disappointing week in Mississippi, finishing tied for 48th with mediocre play across the board minus a solid week around the greens where he gained […]

It was a Sunday to forget, or at least the back nine, at Sanderson Farms last week for Keith Mitchell. He looked like a man on a mission after shooting 64-65 on Friday and Saturday, however, after turning at two-under on the final day, he struggled to find fairways down the stretch or get any […]

The more we see and get to know Sahith Theegala, the easier it is to pull for him. He was a consistent name in 2024, albeit wildly drastic from week to week. However, his recent third-place finish to close out the season at the Tour Championship showed us his moxie and true character, making him […]

Perhaps the most successful season without a win is the easiest way to sum up the 2024 season for Collin Morikawa. The 27-year-old compiled two runner-up finishes, eight top 10s, and 16 top 25s over his 21 starts. His final-round performance ultimately kept him out of the winner's circle, ranking 107th in round four scoring […]

For most avid golf fans, we knew it was only a matter of getting a big win under the belt for Xander Schauffele to transform into the dominant force he was this season.

Todd McGill 2 months agoMax Homa Looks For More Team-Golf Magic To End A Disappointing Season On High Note
It was a season to mostly forget for Max Homa. He had a run of good finishes early that peaked with a T3 The Masters, but things turned sour for the 33-year-old soon after as he only had two other finishes inside the top 25 the rest of the season. Perhaps the most puzzling issue […]

The 2024 season ends tomorrow at the new version of East Lake Golf Club. The year's final event has transpired like many thought it would given Scottie Scheffler's two-shot lead to start the week.

Todd McGill 3 months agoAkshay Bhatia Looking To Ride A Hot Putter Again At Castle Pines
It was a solid week across the board for Akshay Bhatia last week in Memphis, but what stood out the most was the plus-5.6 strokes he gained on the greens, most of which was done over the final two rounds. The 22-year-old has come into his own in 2024 much more than his rookie campaign […]

Sitting in the 33rd spot on the FedEx Cup points list, Corey Conners needs a bounce-back week at Castle Pines to make the Tour Championship for a fourth consecutive year. He failed to make a move in Memphis due to poor ball striking and not keeping big numbers off the scorecard, and at a place […]
Todd McGill 3 months agoSam Burns Will Be A Popular Play At BMW Championship
It was another close call in a string of narrow misses for Sam Burns over the last two and a half months. The 28-year-old seems to lack the firepower needed to take hold of a lead in the final round as his 134th ranking in round four scoring average (71.00) would suggest. That being said, […]
Todd McGill 3 months agoCollin Morikawa Looks To Put All The Pieces Together At Castle Pines
Since his narrow miss at the Scottish Open a month ago, Collin Morikawa hasn't been able to align the facets of his game together. A good week with the irons has been met with bad putting and chipping; and vice versa. Last week in Memphis, the world no. seven lost nearly six shots on approach […]

Another tournament, and another chance to see if Scottie Scheffler will finish in the top five or pick up his eighth victory of the season; there seemingly aren't many other outcomes. Even with a lackluster putting performance on Saturday in Memphis, where he lost -1.55 strokes on the greens, the best player in the world […]

Other than a couple of two-tournament slumps, Byeong Hun An has had as good of a season as one can have without a win as he sits in 12th position in the FedEx Cup points race to make his first Tour Championship. Book-end 72s ultimately kept him as a non-factor in France, but his ball-striking […]

Things certainly haven't gone as well as expected for Viktor Hovland in 2024. He will need to string together a few good weeks to make it to East Lake for the Tour Championship, which will require fixing the horrible short game that's plagued him all year; ranking 174th in strokes gained around the green (-0.645).

The outlook ahead of the year's first playoff event for Min Woo Lee is hard to predict, almost more than anyone else in this field. With as many solid performances as he has put together this season, the bad ones are certainly head-scratching. His bounce-back performance at the Olympics after an opening round, 76 has […]

If it weren't for a bad opening round for Wyndham Clark, he could have made a run at the podium after going 68-65-65 over the final three rounds to notch a top-15 finish at the Olympics. Aside from the missed cut at the Open Championship, the former U.S. Open Champion has been on a solid […]

It was a dominating come-from-behind victory at Le Golf National for Scottie Scheffler as he overcame a six-shot deficit with nine holes left to win by one over Tommy Fleetwood. It's somewhat surprising to see the Olympic Gold Medalist here given his sizeable lead in the FedEx Cup points race, though nonetheless, he rolls into […]
