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 […]

Justin Thomas Continues To Spark But Hopes To Keep It Lit At Innisbrook

It was a weird week for Justin Thomas at TPC Sawgrass, as the course record-tying 62 shot on Friday was coupled with three rather uninspiring rounds. Looking back, his great second day was needed just to make the weekend after an opening round, 78 had things looking bleak for the former Players Champion. That speaks […]

Michael Kim Looks To Rebound At Valspar Championship

After a run of great form over the last several events, it was surprising to see Michael Kim miss the cut at The Players this past week. The 31-year-old got off to a rough start on Thursday, carding a three-over-par, 75. That is really all it takes to find yourself on the outside looking in […]

Tom Kim Looking For Putter Form At Valspar Championship

Tom Kim is slowly evolving into a player who doesn't surprise anyone when he's contending for tournaments, even though his rate of doing so is still very low. It's easier to gain that acclaim when you hit the ball as well as the South Korean does, but his woes with the flat stick have been […]

Rasmus Hojgaard Looking For Form At Valspar Championship

It was a rough go at TPC Sawgrass this past week for Rasmus Hojgaard, as he turned in a second-round 80 to miss the cut by a large margin. It's easy to do at a tricky place like the Stadium Course for the first time, but his game has been slipping since before that. The […]

Ben Griffin Needs To Find Ball-Striking Form Ahead Of Valspar Championship

After back-to-back T4 finishes, Ben Griffin has struggled to keep the momentum going, finishing T45 at the API and missing the cut at The Players. Ball striking is the culprit to his struggles, as the 28-year-old has averaged -0.65 in strokes gained on approach and -0.46 in strokes gained off the tee over his last […]

Tommy Fleetwood Looks To Keep Short But Successful Run Going At Innisbrook

With only two starts at the Copperhead Course, Tommy Fleetwood has never made this event a "must stop" on his schedule. But, the Englishman has played well on both occasions and comes into this week looking to add another solid finish to his resume. It's difficult to go as far as to call for a […]

Eric Cole Needs To Find A Spark At Innisbrook

Things have not been pretty this season for Eric Cole, as the former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year has missed four of his last five cuts. The 36-year-old is bleeding strokes from virtually every part of his game, ranking outside the top 135 in any strokes gained category other than around the green (65th: […]

Sam Burns Looks To Rebound At Valspar Championship

Coming off a T48 at the API and missing the cut at TPC Sawgrass last week, Sam Burns will look to rebound at Innisbrook this week at the Valspar Championship. This is an event where the 28-year-old has thrived in past years having back-to-back victories in 2022 and 2023. From a course history perspective, he […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Valspar Championship

After a four-hour rain delay and extra holes on Monday, Rory McIlroy got back into the winner's circle for the second time this season to claim his second Players Championship. It took a three-hole aggregate playoff against J.J. Spaun to get the job done, and after a dominant display, he is in an excellent position […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Players Championship

After a wonderful event at Bay Hill, the PGA Tour moved to the East Coast of Florida this week for The Players Championship. As the flagship event on Tour, the action has been heavy over the first three days, with weather having a much larger effect this weekend than over the first two rounds. Numbers […]

Justin Thomas Looking For More Magic At TPC Sawgrass

It still seems like yesterday that Justin Thomas was storming up the leaderboard at the 2021 Players Championship and rope-hooking a wood down the left side of the iconic 18th hole to allow him to edge out an aging Lee Westwood by one stroke. Flash forward four years, and a lot has changed about JT's […]

Xander Schauffele Continues Competitive Return At The Players Championship

It certainly wasn't a week worth remembering at Bay Hill for Xander Schauffele. The 31-year-old returned from a two-month absence to finish T40 at one of the tougher venues on the PGA Tour. While the finish may not be what is expected of the reigning PGA and Open Champion, making it through the week unscathed […]

Rory McIlroy Looks To Reverse Recent History At TPC Sawgrass

Since his victory in 2019, Rory McIlroy has not had the greatest of times at the Stadium Course. Putting has been the main concern during that time, as he lost a combined -13.28 strokes on the greens between 2021 and 2023. That has luckily been a strong point of emphasis for the 35-year-old this season, […]

Min Woo Lee A Hard Name To Trust At The Players Championship

Given everything we've seen from Min Woo Lee in early 2025 between TGL and regular tour events, it seems a little far-fetched to call him hard to trust, right? The correct answer would normally be yes; however, the way he's managed to reach the top of leaderboards is not what typically finds success at the […]

Sungjae Im Looking To Build On Momentum At TPC Sawgrass

Last week at Bay Hill was a slight return to form for Sungjae Im, coming in T19 and ranking inside the top 20 in strokes gained putting, around the green, and off the tee. Unfortunately, his approach game struggled to get going, which has been a common theme for him in 2025. That will need […]

Russell Henley Looks To Keep The Winning Ways Going At Players Championship

For a guy like Russell Henley, his win this past week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational was a game-changer. It may have been his fifth PGA Tour victory, but the size and importance of this win are far greater than the other four times he's lifted a trophy. The short game was on fire at […]

Thomas Detry Struggling To Find Form Ahead Of Players Championship

Since his win at the WM Phoenix Open, Thomas Detry has not had his best form. The incredible putting and iron play he used to win in the desert seems to have soured, as he has lost a combined -9.68 strokes between putting and approach play over his last two starts. The only thing he […]

Patrick Cantlay Looking To Turn The Tides At TPC Sawgrass

For someone as deadly with his ball striking and, at times, the clutchest putter on the PGA Tour, Patrick Cantlay has struggled to find much to be happy about at TPC Sawgrass. His best finish is a T19 in 2023 by gaining over nine strokes ball striking, and is similar form with the irons heading […]

Daniel Berger Looks Strong Heading To TPC Sawgrass

2025 is shaping up to be a resurgent year for Daniel Berger. The 31-year-old finished T15 last week at the API to continue a strong run over his previous four starts, resulting in nothing less than a top 25 finish and including positive strokes gained metrics across the board. While he has yet to get […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Players Championshp

It was an eventful week at Bay Hill this past week as Russell Henley had a late charge on Sunday with a chip-in eagle on the par-5 16th hole to edge Collin Morikawa by a single stroke. It was a dramatic finish at a course known for producing such occasions, and with many of the […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational

After a good introduction to the Florida swing last week, the real meat and potatoes of this part of the season began this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Bay Hill has not disappointed through three rounds, as blustery conditions on Thursday gave way to beautiful, calm conditions over Friday and Saturday. Stumbling by the […]

Sahith Theegala Looking To Keep Spark From Last Event Alive At Bay Hill

After a poor start to the season, it was good to see Sahith Theegala finish T17 at the Genesis Invitational a few weeks ago. He's made every cut over his six starts, but his last outing was the first time DFS players were actually happy to have him in their lineups. The putter seems like […]

Robert MacIntyre An Interesting Play At Arnold Palmer Invitational

For the most part, knowing which Robert MacIntyre will be on display each week is the toughest battle in knowing what to do with him in DFS. He's been feast or famine with the flat stick, though the latter is the more dominant trend, ranking 157th in strokes gained putting (-0.487) on the season. What […]

Max Homa Hoping His Course History At Bay Hill Can Help Turn Season Around

Just as much of last season went, 2025 is much of the same for Max Homa. The 34-year-old is coming to Bay Hill having missed his previous two cuts. His woes are pretty cut and dry, with ball striking being the biggest detriment to his game. Over his last four starts, Homa is averaging an […]

Tommy Fleetwood Looking To Get Back Into Good Graces At Bay Hill

Early in his career, the Arnold Palmer Invitational looked like a place itching to award Tommy Fleetwood his first victory on American soil. However, after eight attempts, things have begun to go sideways for the English golfer at Bay Hill in recent years, having shot a second-round 80 last year and being only one of […]

Michael Kim One Of The Hottest Players In Golf Heading To Bay Hill

There aren't many players making the start this week who're playing as well as Michael Kim. The 31-year-old has continuously been in contention in his last four starts, gaining over 12 strokes on approach and over 10 strokes around the greens during that span. That has propelled him to a seventh-place ranking on the season […]

Xander Schauffele Making Long-Awaited Start Since Rib Injury At Bay Hill

After a ho-hum finish at Kapalua to start the year, the golf game has been on the shelf for Xander Schauffele as the reigning PGA and Open Champion has been dealing with a nagging rib injury ever since. Forcing him to miss playing some personally meaningful tournaments, like the two events at Torrey Pines and […]

Collin Morikawa Looking For Better Form On And Around The Greens At Bay Hill

For a tournament with such a knack for producing leaderboards full of top PGA Tour talent, it has been surprising to see Collin Morikawa struggle in most of his appearances. However, all of it can be linked back to his consistent loss of strokes with his putter and short game. In four career starts, the […]
