Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Genesis Invitational
The battle at the Greenest Show on Grass ended with a first-time winner, Thomas Detry winning by seven shots after making birdies on the final four holes. It was an incredible display all around for the 32-year-old from Belgium, ranking atop the field in strokes gained on approach (+1.79), second in strokes gained putting (+2.11), […]

Taking a break from the California coast, the sixth event of this 2025 PGA Tour season is arguably the wildest in golf; it's the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale. A fan-favorite on the schedule that comes with mixed opinions from PGA Tour players, it seems to energize viewers with the typical fireworks created by […]

Davis Thompson Is Riding The Struggle Bus To Scottsdale
Through the early stages of 2025, the elite iron play that accompanied Davis Thompson's sophomore season last year has not been present. The 25-year-old has yet to gain strokes on approach through the first four starts at an average of -0.685. Every other metric is somewhat positive, but that still hasn't translated to a finish […]

Matthieu Pavon Should Be Avoided At All Costs At TPC Scottsdale
Matthieu Pavon is making his tournament debut at the WM Phoenix Open this week. 2025 has been rough for the Frenchman, as he is bleeding strokes on approach, even going back to the end of last season (averaging -1.175 strokes gained on approach over his last eight competitive starts). Through three events in this young […]

Nicolai Hojgaard Will Be Hard To Trust At WM Phoenix Open Debut
Making his first career start at TPC Scottsdale and his PGA Tour Season debut, Nicolai Hojgaard is a dichotomy. The stellar performances on the European circuit (four top 25s and one top 10 in the last six starts) have not translated to events in North America. It's a frustrating issue for a young man with […]

Max Greyserman A Scary Play At WM Phoenix Open
After a successful run to start 2025, Max Greyserman withdrew last week at Pebble Beach before the final round due to a hand injury. Things were already going sideways for the 29-year-old, as he was in a tie for 77th and was losing strokes in most metrics prior to his departure. Nevertheless, he is in […]

Sepp Straka In A Good Position To Improve His History At WM Phoenix Open
It was nearly a second consecutive victory for Sepp Straka (illness) last week in Monterey, but a red-hot Rory McIlroy and stubborn flu symptoms thwarted those plans. Still, it was another solid finish for the Austrian, as he moved into first place in the FedEx Cup points race. He now sets his sights on a […]

Scottie Scheffler The Unanimous Favorite This Week In Scottsdale
Nothing is more evident than the fact that Scottie Scheffler is the one player everyone is expecting to go into the back nine on Sunday with a chance to win the golf tournament. His return to golf last week was a little rusty, but that didn't stop him from finishing in the top 10. Now […]

Hideki Matsuyama Looking For Bounce-Back Performance In Arizona
Things have continually regressed for Hideki Matsuyama since winning the Sentry a month ago. His latest outing at Pebble Beach saw the Japanese star lose strokes on approach for the first time in six months, which was a bit of a surprise, but his limited history there is not great anyway. That is thankfully not […]

Si Woo Kim Showing Some Form Heading Into Phoenix
It's been a rough go of things for Si Woo Kim in recent starts before a 12th-place finish at Pebble Beach last week. His efforts gained strokes in all metrics, which should give him momentum heading to TPC Scottsdale, where Kim has a long competition history (making his 10th career appearance). It's a shame his […]

Tom Hoge Looks To Keep The Momentum Going In Phoenix
Tom Hoge had a solid showing last week in Monterey. The 35-year-old continues to light up courses with elite iron play, gaining over 14 strokes on approach over his previous four starts. His weakness has been getting off the tee box as he ranks 168th on the young season in strokes gained off the tee […]

Austin Eckroat A Name To Watch For At WM Phoenix Open
After a rough two-week stretch, Austin Eckroat seemed to find some things in his golf game last week in Monterey. The 26-year-old ranked seventh in the field in strokes gained off the tee (+0.66) and 14th in strokes gained putting (+0.85). Both metrics are the two biggest contributors to total strokes gained at this event […]

Wyndham Clark Is Someone To Stay Away From This Week
After a solid showing at the Sentry to start the 2025 season, Wyndham Clark has struggled to find the same form in both of his starts since, missing the cut at the AmEx and finishing T73 at Pebble Beach. Nothing is clicking right now, as he has only gained strokes in one metric in each […]

Sam Burns Will Be A Big Play This Week But Comes With Risk
It's a difficult choice to fade a player like Sam Burns, who has two finishes outside the top 15 in his last eight starts. After all, he has become the type of player for whom it's easy to believe the strong form will continue, and it very well may. It is important, though, to be […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Looks To Turn Around Ball-Striking In Phoenix
It has been a slow start for Christiaan Bezuidenhout through his first three events of the young season. With two T40s and a missed cut, his play off the tee and on approach has severely hindered him thus far, averaging -0.603 in strokes gained on approach and an astounding -1.103 off the tee in that […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 WM Phoenix Open
The wild, wet, and windy nature of the Monterey Peninsula was on full display this past week as the PGA Tour returned to Pebble Beach for yet another battle on the shore that left the cream rising to the top. Rory McIlroy came alive after making the turn on Sunday with three birdies and an […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 ATT Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Hello RotoBallers, I am back with my round 4 Showdown article for the ATT Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week. Weather has been less than ideal over the first three rounds, with high winds and occasional rain testing most of the PGA Tour's top talent and their amateur playing partners. Sepp Straka holds a one-stroke lead […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Farmers Insurance Open
It was an event full of haymakers at PGA West that resulted in Sepp Straka's third PGA Tour victory. Such an event, which requires 25+ birdies over four days is admittedly not the greatest golf spectacle, as one player tends to shine above the rest leaving Sunday to feel much more flat than I'm sure […]

Will Zalatoris Looking To Keep Momentum Going At The AmEx
After a middle-of-the-road finish at The Sentry to kick off his 2025 campaign, Will Zalatoris comes to La Quinta, CA with his game in a seemingly good position. Nothing was spectacular about his week at Kapalua, but besides slightly losing strokes on approach (-0.29), he didn't lose strokes in any other metric. That wouldn't be […]

J.T. Poston A Volatile Player With Upside At American Express
After two strong tournaments to close out 2024 that included a victory in Vegas, J.T. Poston has struggled to get back in the swing of things in the new year with a T40 at The Sentry and a missed cut last week at Waialae. Mostly to blame has been approach play and putting (losing strokes […]

Justin Thomas Fits The AmEx Layouts Like A Glove
This will be the fourth time Justin Thomas tees it up in La Quinta, although, last year's event was his first time playing the current course rotation as his previous start was back in 2015. After firing a third-round, 61, he looked poised to capture his 16th career victory before the improbable win by then-amateur, […]

Wyndham Clark Looking To Keep Momentum Going At La Quinta
It's been a busy start to the season for Wyndham Clark, who finished T15 at The Sentry before flying across the country to lay the beatdown in the first TGL match last week. The former Oregon Duck is no stranger to hot starts in the early part of the year, as his victory at the […]

Sungjae Im Is A Hot Commodity At The American Express
As will be discussed by many fantasy golf pundits this week, Sungjae Im is a front-runner at PGA West as he possesses the most consistent performances at this event compared to any other player in the field. Sure, he hasn't finished better than a tie for 10th, but his worst finish is a T25 in […]

Brian Harman Leaking Oil As He Heads To PGA West
It was all smiles for Brian Harman last week at Waialae through the first three rounds. However, the left-hander struggled mightily on Sunday, losing 2.76 strokes on the greens and falling nearly 20 spots to leave a sour taste in our mouths coming into this week's event at PGA West. You can never discount the […]

Nico Echavarria An Intriguing Play Again This Week At PGA West
It has been an impressive run over the last several months for Nico Echavarria, as the Columbian star nearly captured his second PGA Tour victory last week at Waialae. But truthfully, he's given himself chances in almost every start since winning the ZOZO Championship in October of last year. On the greens is where Echavarria […]

Sam Burns A Popular Play At The American Express
Coming off a T8 finish at The Sentry at the top of the month, Sam Burns has seemingly picked right back up where he left off in 2024, where he notched two top fives and three top 15s down the closing stretch. He was inside the top 100 in all strokes gained metrics to end […]

Taylor Pendrith Is A Dark-Horse Pick For Sony Open
Taylor Pendrith has been on a quiet tear for the last six months with a finish no worse than T19 (which was on the Japan Golf Tour). He kicked off his 2025 campaign last week in Kapalua with a T13 finish thanks to solid ball-striking numbers that ranked seventh in the field in strokes gained […]
