Jason Day Making 12th Career Start At Arnold Palmer Invitational
Coming off a disappointing T50 finish at the Genesis Invitational in February, Jason Day is making another start at Bay Hill. A winner here in 2016, there have been way more examples of good golf than bad, which he'll need to lean into to build some positive momentum before next week's Players Championship. Unfortunately, his […]

Patrick Cantlay Trending Upward Ahead Of Arnold Palmer Invitational
Patrick Cantlay has had a good start to the season, with two T5s and a T15 in three of his four starts. However, he hasn't been able to put everything together for four days and has left every event with one round he'd probably like to redo. That's all it takes to give up wins […]

Daniel Berger A Player To Watch For At Bay Hill
Daniel Berger is making his first start at Bay Hill since 2019. Before the coming out year the following season, and the injuries that came after that, he is undoubtedly a much different player in 2025. Coming off a string of good finishes, the 31-year-old will be a name to watch on Thursday. After a […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational
The Florida swing is off to a fast start, as the middle-of-the-pack PGA Tour players gave us a helluva show this past week at PGA National. From Jake Knapp's 59 to his Sunday collapse, having Spieth and Fowler in the mix again, to Joe Highsmith's unbelievable weekend, the Cognizant Classic was full of everything golf […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Cognizant Classic
The PGA Tour switched coasts as the Florida Swing began in Palm Beach Gardens for the Cognizant Classic at PGA National this week. A longstanding event at a famed property that has lost some status as a bigger event in recent years, it's still proving to give us incredible golf despite being void of the […]

Taylor Pendrith Is An Enticing Play At Cognizant Classic
Knowing what to do with Taylor Pendrith as the PGA Tour heads to Florida is tough. The Canadian had a good run on the West Coast, including two top-10s and a top-15 in five starts. However, his success has lived and died by the ball striking, as he's lost strokes on the greens in four […]

Niklas Norgaard Making Third PGA Tour Start At Cognizant Classic
It is a season of learning for Niklas Norgaard, as he continues to get more comfortable with golf in the U.S. since earning his dual membership last season through the Race to Dubai. He's coming off a T34 last week in Mexico, where his highlights came in strokes gained off the tee(+0.23) and putting (+0.65). […]

Alex Smalley Continues To Impress Ahead Of The Cognizant Classic
Given his constant appearance on the first page of leaderboards to start the season, it's somewhat surprising that Alex Smalley has yet to finish better than T10. He ranks third on the season in strokes gained tee to green (+1.435) and doesn't fall outside the top 50 in any strokes gained metric. He comes to […]

Shane Lowry Hopes To Keep Good Course History Going At PGA National
Making his fourth start in 2025, Shane Lowry returns to the more fruitful side of the U.S. for his golf game over the years, and up first is a tournament he's nearly won three years in a row. Unfortunately, the 37-year-old has failed to get the job done on all three occasions, but, comes to […]

Kyounghoon Lee Is A Tough Sell At PGA National
A T9 at the first event at Torrey Pines this season is the only bright spot for Kyounghoon Lee in 2025. The golf game elsewhere has been spotty, at best, with nothing to lean on in terms of strength in any facet. He's only been in the positive in total strokes gained in one event […]

Michael Kim Looks To Keep Strong Play Going In Florida
The run of good golf continues for Michael Kim, as the 31-year-old finished T13 in Mexico for his third-straight top-15 finish. The week at Vidanta Vallarta was impressive for him in the long iron department, which has been the lone fault in his approach game this season. The length of the course may be the […]

Beau Hossler Is On A Downward Trend Ahead Of Cognizant Classic
Since having two top-15 finishes to begin the year, Beau Hossler's game has taken a giant step backward over his last three events. This has mainly come from the ball-striking side of things. However, last week in Mexico saw him lose strokes across the board —aside from off the tee— en route to missing the […]

Russell Henley Takes Aim At Another Chance For A Big Week At PGA National
It's tough to think about PGA National without thinking of Russell Henley's epic playoff win in 2014 that included a young and spry Rory McIlroy. Since then, he's continued to play well here, including a T3 in 2021 and a T8 in 2020. Given the draw-biased nature of the layout at the Champion Course and […]

Ben Griffin To Keep Momentum Going At Cognizant Classic
After a few events of frustratingly poor results with positive metrics, Ben Griffin put everything together for a solid T4 finish in Mexico last week. Ranking third in the field in strokes gained on approach (+1.48), and inside the top 20 for strokes gained around the green (+0.64) and putting (+0.79). The former UNC golfer […]

Rickie Fowler Looking To Get Back To Having Success At PGA National
Rickie Fowler has made many starts at PGA National in his career. His run in the 2010s was as spectacular as any player could hope for at a single event over 10 years, especially one as unforgiving as the Champion Course. Racking up a win in 2017, a T2 in 2019, two top 10s, and […]

Eric Cole Is A Complete Flier Pick At PGA National
On one hand, the approach play that Eric Cole has put on display in the past gives many reason to believe he is a good business decision for a course like PGA National. But on the other, how much longer can he live off the ROTY season in 2023 that has given him such credibility? […]

Daniel Berger Will Be A Popular Play At Cognizant Classic
The combination of good course history and two quality finishes will make Daniel Berger one of the highest-owned players in DFS lineups this week. The 31-year-old seems ready to jump back into the upper echelons of professional golf in 2025, gaining over seven and a half strokes on approach and over five and a half […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Cognizant Classic
We are finally through the PGA Tour's West Coast swing that ended this past week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The country's national open was a snooze fest for much of the tournament until an exciting final day that ended in one of the craziest playoffs you will ever see, as Brian Campbell finally earned a […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Mexico Open
After the hustle and bustle of the last few weeks on the PGA Tour, things slowed down a bit in terms of importance this week for the Mexico Open. A longtime professional golf event celebrating its fourth season on the Tour, it used to host much bigger names with Jon Rahm and Tony Finau having […]

Michael Thorbjornsen Looks To Get Things Going In The Right Direction At Mexico Open
After two missed cuts to start the season, Michael Thorbjornsen finished T74 in Phoenix two weeks ago. The 23-year-old does have some upside this week given his 312.4 driving distance (ranked 21st on Tour) and his proximity with longer irons; however, many negatives make this immensely talented player hard to trust until things improve. Putting […]

Davis Riley An Unlikely Candidate For Success At Mexico Open
It has been a rough start in this young season for Davis Riley. The 28-year-old hasn't played four rounds in an event with a WD at the Sentry followed up with three consecutive missed cuts. The ball striking has completely evaded the former Crimson Tide golfer, as he ranks second-to-last on the PGA Tour in […]

Avoid Ryan Palmer Like The Plague At Mexico Open
Ryan Palmer's 22nd year on the PGA Tour has not started as well as he'd hoped. The 48-year-old is a non-factor at most events these days, as he's merely biding time until the Senior circuit calls. The stats have not been good, ranking outside the top 120 in every strokes gained metric and struggling mightily […]

Matteo Manassero In For A Long Week In Mexico
It has taken Matteo Manassero much longer than expected to make his way onto the PGA Tour. The 31-year-old made quite the name for himself in the early days of his professional golf career on the European circuit. He's making his third PGA Tour start of the season this week on a beast of a […]

Jake Knapp Returns To Defend His Title At The Mexico Open
Last year was an impressive coming-out party for Jake Knapp. The now 30-year-old PGA Tour player is in his second year on the circuit and returns to a place seemingly tailor-made for his brand of golf. He's coming off a T17 finish at the Genesis Invitational last week, where he ranked 5th in the field […]

Charley Hoffman A Great Bounce-Back Candidate In Mexico
Perhaps the biggest question of this week for many DFS players is what to do with Charley Hoffman. He was a flash in the pan for two weeks, however, that flash is bookended by poor performances. Horrific putting has been the story for the 48-year-old in this early season, as he ranks nearly dead-last in […]

Ben Griffin A Potential Sneaky Play At Mexico Open
Since his T7 finish at the AmEx, Ben Griffin has been battling a sick putter as he ranks 135th in strokes gained putting (-0.346) this season. This current run with the flat stick is the worst of his career and something that should come back around in time. The resort-style putting surfaces at this week's […]

Blades Brown Making Second Professional Start In Mexico
Thursday will be the first round of the second career start for Blades Brown since turning professional in January. His first start came at the AmEx, where other than an impressive 64 on Friday, he didn't do much on his way to missing the cut by two shots. Given the quirky absence of data on […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Mexico Open
It was a wonderful week in San Diego at Torrey Pines, as the relocated Genesis Invitational brought a ton of action and drama down the stretch that ended with a Ludvig Aberg victory. The young Swede overcame a spotty start on Sunday to birdie four of his final six holes and steal the win away […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Genesis Invitational
Normally held at Riviera Country Club, this week's Genesis Invitational has been a staple on the PGA Tour, long before Tiger Woods became the host. However, the Tour had to call an audible for its host site after the fires that swept through the L.A. area in January and thus moved this year's edition to […]

Cameron Young Is An Interesting Play At Torrey Pines
After a T12 in the desert, Cameron Young is carrying momentum into this week at Torrey Pines, a place that hasn't been the kindest to him in three career starts. His most recent appearance was a T20 in 2022 at the Farmers Insurance Open but he missed the two previous cuts at the 2021 U.S. […]
