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 […]

Eric Cole Looking For Bounce-Back Performance At Sony Open

It was a week to forget at The Sentry for Eric Cole, as the 36-year-old averaged -0.68 strokes gained with the putter and -0.83 strokes gained on approach over his four rounds. Both are unusual struggles for Cole, who finished last season ranked 47th (+0.204) in strokes gained putting and 66th (+0.258) in strokes gained […]

Sahith Theegala A Big Name To Stay Away From At Sony Open

One of the more fruitful DFS players of 2024, Sahith Theegala is making the hour-long trip from Kapalua to Wailae to hopefully improve his T36 finish from last week. An opening round, 76 pretty much took his chances of a contention away early, but it was refreshing to see bounce-back rounds of 68-67-66 over the […]

Nick Dunlap Looks To Bounce Back At Sony Open

It was a disappointing start to the new season for Nick Dunlap, as the former University of Alabama golfer finished 55th at Kapalua last week and struggled to find any success on the Plantation Course. It's easy to forget he's still figuring out the PGA Tour venues given we haven't made it to the tour […]

Tom Kim Making Season Debut At Sony Open

It is time for Tom Kim to get back in the saddle for the 2025 season, having last played at the Hero World Challenge in December. The young South Korean is beginning his third season on the PGA Tour with hopes of improving upon his standings last year which saw his bogey-double-double collapse at TPC […]

Hideki Matsuyama Looks To Make History At Waialae

Off the heels of a historic performance last week at Kapalua, where Hideki Matsuyama set the all-time scoring record relative to par (35 under) in PGA Tour history, he'll have a chance to do something almost as improbable this week at the Sony Open: become just the third player in history to win both Hawaiian […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Sony Open

It was a record-setting start to the new season last week at Kapalua, as Hideki Matsuyama set the PGA Tour scoring record relative to par (-35 under). Many of the players that competed at The Plantation Course have made the quick hour-long car trip to the eastern side of the island for the first full-field […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Sentry Tournament

Hello Rotoballers! I hope everyone is doing well and ready for another great year of professional golf. Showdown is back for another season on DraftKings and the PGA Tour. So naturally, we are back to hopefully try and lead you in the right direction for those either looking to pick up where their escapade ended […]

Maverick McNealy Making First Career Start At Kapalua

Earning his spot this week with his victory at the RSM Classic to end 2024, Maverick McNealy will be making his first start at The Sentry. It was one of the better seasons of the 29-year-old's career, with six top 10s and 12 top 25s in 28 starts. He was solid in most facets of […]

Corey Conners Making Third Consecutive Start At Kapalua

At this point, it feels safe to regard Corey Conners as one of the premier ball strikers on the PGA Tour. He finished 2024 ranked third in strokes gained on approach (+0.776) and 10th in strokes gained tee to green (+1.130). He still has much to improve on in the short game and putting department […]

Viktor Hovland A Gametime Decision For Year's First Event

Viktor Hovland is looking to make the first start of 2025 since breaking his pinky toe and his recent breakup (again) with swing coach, Joe Mayo, he is coming into the new year doing much of the same as he was in 2024; searching. The ball striking is still there, as he finished the season […]

Tony Finau Making Sixth Start At Kapalua After Rumor-Filled Offseason

As has been the case for at least the past two years now, Tony Finau has been at the forefront of names rumored to be jumping to the LIV Golf League, only to set the story straight by pledging loyalty to the PGA Tour and committing himself to another season. 2024 was perhaps one of […]

Justin Thomas Looks To Get Off To Fast Start In 2025 At Kapalua

Many players on the PGA Tour would like to have had the 2024 season that Justin Thomas did. From a statistics perspective, it was a very positive year, as he ranked inside the top 10 in strokes gained tee to green (+1.240), on approach (+0.639), and around the green (+0.466). However, it still felt underwhelming […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - The Sentry (2025)

Happy New Year, Rotoballers! After the short layoff to recharge the batteries of the world's best players, we are back for a brand new PGA Tour season. Seven of the top 10 players in the world have made the trip to Hawaii to kick off the new year with Scottie Scheffler (injury) and Rory McIlroy […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 RSM Classic

We are finally back with the PGA Showdown article now that the PGA Tour is back in the States for the last official event of the season at the RSM Classic at Sea Island Resort. For many rank-and-file players, this is one of the most important events of the year as the conclusion of tomorrow's […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2024 RSM Classic

The last full-field event of the season is finally here, it's RSM Classic week at Sea Island Resort. A tournament that has been the season closer for much of its time since the inaugural event in 2010. Because of the destination, it garners the attention of a few larger names, as Ludvig Aberg is making […]

Nick Hardy Looks To Find Consistency On The Greens In Bermuda

Getting the game all together has been the main struggle for Nick Hardy all year. The 28-year-old has been crushing it in almost every strokes gained metric, evident by only four missed cuts over his last 14 starts. However, putting has debilitatingly kept him from having many high finishes in that time. Of the 13 […]

Carson Young Hopes To Carry Recent Form To Bermuda

It was a close call last week in Mexico for Carson Young, as the 30-year-old produced rounds of 61-67-65 over the final three days to finish one stroke shy of eventual winner, Austin Eckroat. Much of the recent success can be attributed to increased strokes gained on approach numbers, as he averaged +1.13 over the […]

Kevin Yu A Name To Watch At Butterfield Bermuda Championship

Finishing the regular season comfortably inside the top 70 bubble in the FedEx Cup points list to earn his fully exempt status for 2025, Kevin Yu continued his campaign into the fall stretch to capture his first career PGA Tour title at the Sanderson Farms event and finished T16 in his last start in Japan […]

Brendon Todd A Hard Sell At Butterfield Bermuda Championship

If course history has any bearing on what will transpire this week at Port Royal Golf Course, then Brendon Todd is your man, as he won this event in 2019 and posted a T20 here last season. But we all know there is more to factor in, and the recent form has not been pretty […]

Daniel Berger Looks To Continue His Consistent Run At Port Royal Golf Course

Making his tournament debut this week in Bermuda, Daniel Berger hopes to keep the train moving as he pushes to retain some level of status for the 2025 season. It has been consistent since his seventh-place finish at Sanderson Farms, but nothing particularly useful in DFS until a T20 last week in Mexico. There isn't […]

Justin Lower Looks To Continue His Hot Play At Butterfield Bermuda Championship

Things had cooled off for Justin Lower before a second-place finish last week in Mexico. He had struggled mightily with the driver, averaging -0.31 strokes gained off the tee since the start of the fall run. It's unclear whether that area improved last week thanks to no Shotlink data, but given his high finish, one […]

Ben Griffin Brings Solid Form And Good Course History To Bermuda

It's been a nice run for Ben Griffin this fall, as he is coming off back-to-back top-25 performances in Mexico and Japan to go along with a T11 finish at the Black Desert Championship. The 28-year-old has turned things around with the driver, gaining strokes off the tee in three of his last four starts, […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship

The penultimate event in the PGA Tour Fall Series is set to kick off this week at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. It's arguably one of the prettiest destinations worldwide to host a professional golf tournament. However, the field is not nearly as picturesque as the views with only one player this week ranked inside the […]

Adam Svensson A Risky Play In Mexico

For much of 2024, Adam Svensson has been undone by the flat stick and the fall series has been no different. The Canadian has bled strokes with the flat stick in the last four fall events, averaging -1.38 strokes gained putting during this latest stretch. That will sink almost any player regardless of what they […]

Daniel Berger Looks To Keep Cuts-Made Streak Alive In Mexico

It hasn't been the prettiest run for Daniel Berger this fall, but the 31-year-old has managed to make three consecutive cuts as he continues his resurgence from the back injury that kept him sidelined for 19 months. Statistically, he doesn't jump off the page in any metric, but he's averaging neutral or positive strokes gained […]

Tom Hoge Hopes To Steady The Ship At World Wide Technology Championship

Tom Hoge has surprisingly played in nearly all of the fall series events for someone inside the coveted top 30 bubble in the FedEx Cup points list. However, the results have been a mixed bag, posting finishes of T7, missed cut, and T56 in three events played. Ball striking is far and away the biggest […]

Sam Stevens Hopes To Continue Riding A Hot Putter In Mexico

The driver and flat stick have been the bright spots for Sam Stevens in 2024, as he's averaged +0.74 strokes gained putting and +0.64 strokes gained off the tee over his last three starts. Unfortunately, those metrics have only translated to a T22-T23-T37 line over that span due to averaging -0.53 strokes gained on approach. […]

Keith Mitchell An Unappealing Play At World Wide Technology Championship

After a fast start to the fall series, Keith Mitchell's game has taken a dramatic turn for the worse, missing the cut in his last two starts. He has produced negative strokes gained metrics across the board in both outings and didn't play very well in this event last year either. Coming in at $10,800 […]

Doug Ghim A Worthy Start This Week In Mexico

It has been a good fall run for Doug Ghim as he has made the cut in all five events thus far. He comes to Mexico looking to keep the momentum going in a part of the country where he has produced some solid finishes over the last 12 months (T8 in the Mexico Open […]
