Sahith Theegala Is Riding The Struggle Bus To Torrey Pines

Things have not started as high as many hoped for Sahith Theegala in 2025. While he isn't playing badly enough to miss cuts, the Pepperdine product hasn't cracked the top 35 in any of his five starts this season. What's more frustrating is that none of the struggles can be blamed on one part of […]

Justin Rose Looks For Redemption At Torrey Pines

It has been a long and, at times, frustrating history for Justin Rose at Torrey Pines. The 44-year-old has played in 17 total events at Torrey and has had as many quality finishes as missed cuts in that span. His most recent MC came here a few weeks ago at the Farmers Insurance Open after […]

Collin Morikawa An Excellent Play At Genesis Invitational

It has been a fun start to 2025 for Collin Morikawa. He has secured two solid finishes to start his PGA Tour season (T17-2nd) and his TGL team is currently dominating the startup tech circuit. Given the solid play he's continuing to produce, it's crazy to think he hasn't won on Tour in over a […]

Shane Lowry Back In Action At Torrey Pines

After a solo second at Pebble Beach, Shane Lowry is returning to Torrey Pines, where he missed the cut a month ago at the Farmers Insurance Open. The Irishman has made many attempts at various tournaments here over the years but has sadly struggled in most cases. His usual comfortability off the tee is diminished […]

Sungjae Im Is A Highly Volatile Play With Persuasive Upside

Sungjae Im is perhaps the trickiest player in this field to pin down ahead of Thursday, as he could produce a wide range of outcomes that most DFS players will choose to let be someone else's problem, which is understandable. The 26-year-old is notorious for fading at weird times and even at courses where he […]

Torrey Pines May Be A Place To Avoid Russell Henley

It may seem a bit far-fetched to call for outright fading a guy like Russell Henley, who's done nothing but improve over his first three starts this season. However, this famed municipal track doesn't particularly play into his skillset. The long par-4s don't give him many looks with wedges and low irons that are much […]

Tommy Fleetwood An Interesting Name For Genesis Invitational

Probably a better play at the original host site, Riviera Country Club, Tommy Fleetwood still makes for a person of interest ahead of Thursday at Torrey Pines. Through only two events played this season (One PGA Tour and one DP World Tour event), the 34-year-old has gained over 10 shots on approach and is averaging […]

Corey Conners A Scary Play At Torrey Pines

Since his T5 at The Sentry, things have been ugly--primarily on the greens--for Corey Conners. The Canadian has lost over 11 strokes putting over his last three contests, and his record in four events played at Torrey Pines isn't much different. The ball striking remains strong, but bleeding that many shots away with the flat […]

Keegan Bradley A Bounce-Back Candidate At Torrey Pines

Given his history at other venues on the shorter side of the course length spectrum, Keegan Bradley's T65 at Pebble Beach two weeks ago was a bit of a shock. Especially considering the hot start to the year which included a T15 at this venue a month ago at its normal tour stop, the Farmers […]

Ludvig Aberg Plans To Play At Torrey Pines This Week

After withdrawing from Pebble Beach two weeks ago after posting a first-round 77, Ludvig Aberg (illness) will attempt to return this week at Torrey Pines for the relocated Genesis Invitational. While no one can deny the talent level of the young Swede, there is considerable risk here given what's been on display in his last […]

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), […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 WM Phoenix Open

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 […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 American Express

The 2025 PGA Tour season has rolled into La Quinta, California, for the American Express at PGA West this week. Play through the first three rounds has been hot and heavy, with low scores being posted in abundance. Heading into the final round, it is Sepp Straka's tournament to lose as the 31-year-old has played […]

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 […]
