Tyson Alexander Needs More Than A Putter At Colonial

On the greens, Tyson Alexander is one of the best on tour (ranked 26th in strokes gained putting: 0.454), but everything else leaves much to be desired. The irons and woods have gone pretty crooked which doesn't present enough scoring opportunities for the wedges and putter. It takes the total package at this level, or […]

J.T. Poston Is Risky But Has A Lot To Like At Charles Schwab Challenge

The last couple of weeks have not been kind to J.T. Poston, but what's a guy averaging 288 yards off the tee (ranked 162nd on Tour) supposed to do on 7,400+ yard courses? The interesting part though, is the part of his game that's let him down the most over his last two starts has […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 PGA Championship

After the whirlwind of emotions that Friday's events brought to Valhalla Golf Club, the exciting day we were treated to on Saturday did everything it could to restore focus on the year's second major. The final day will begin with a jam-packed leaderboard that features Colin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele tied at the top with […]

Russell Henley An Interesting Name At PGA Championship

There has been a sizable shift in the golf game of Russell Henley over the last month and a half. He began the year by saving most of his rounds on the greens, which has now transitioned to the irons, as he is averaging 1.102 strokes gained on approach over his last four starts. The […]

Corey Conners A Real Dark Horse At PGA Championship

In the world of "safe plays," it doesn't get much better than Corey Conners. He's 12-for-12 on made cuts in 2024 and is coming off a solid performance at Quail Hollow, ranking second in the field in strokes gained on approach (1.75) and fifth in strokes gained from tee to green (1.86). The course setup […]

Can Sungjae Im Keep The Momentum At Valhalla?

It has been a good run for Sungjae Im over his last three events. A few quality finishes to go along with a win on the KPGA circuit have him riding some high waves into Louisville, Ky. Most of the recent success has resulted from a scorching-hot putter that gained him over six strokes on […]

Shane Lowry In For Long Week At PGA Championship

Aside from a two-week run in March and riding his fellow Irishman's coattails in New Orleans, Shane Lowry has been playing frustrating golf in 2024. It's mostly due to horrendous outings with the putter (168th in strokes gained putting: -0.506), but the around-the-green game has also been lacking in spots (103rd in strokes gained around […]

Cameron Young's Game Is A Fit For Valhalla

The week that Cameron Young is coming off is proof that one disastrous week in one area can ruin any chance of having a solid showing, as his T34 at the Wells Fargo was marred solely by an abysmal performance around the greens. The former Demon Deacon lost nearly 15 strokes around the greens between […]

Bryson Dechambeau Ready To Compete In Year's Second Major

Things have certainly settled down for Bryson Dechambeau after hanging around all four days at Augusta National. With only two LIV events since, resulting in mediocre finishes in both, the former SMU golfer rolls into Louisville looking to iron things out before teeing it up on Thursday. Valhalla's layout could maximize his driving efficiency with […]

Brooks Koepka Is The LIV Player To Watch At PGA Championship

After a two-shot victory in Singapore over the other biggest names the breakaway league possesses, it has the entire golfing world -- especially the bettors and DFS players -- ready to put Brooks Koepka at the top of the board near Scottie Scheffler's and Roy McIlroy's odds. The 34-year-old has undoubtedly been the most dominant […]

Keegan Bradley Looking To Find Putting Confidence At Quail Hollow

If the game of golf was only from tee to green, Keegan Bradley would be a rockstar in 2024. He's gained over 11 shots on the field on approach over his last two starts and is currently 37th on the season in strokes gained on approach (0.407). The bad part is we have to keep […]

Billy Horschel A Volatile Option At Wells Fargo

It has been a feast or famine year for Billy Horschel, with his recent victory at the Corales Puntacana Championship bookended by missed cuts. Many of his poor performances this season can be attributed to poor iron play, though he's still ranked in a respectable 70th spot in strokes gained on approach (0.145). His work […]

Akshay Bhatia Looking To Continue Strong Play In Charlotte

After a couple of weeks off, Akshay Bhatia comes to the Wells Fargo Championship this week looking to pick things up where he left off. He has played well since his win in Texas finishing T35 at The Masters and T18 at the RBC Heritage. Hopefully, the time off allowed the 33rd-ranked player in the […]

Corey Conners A Safe Pick With Questionable Upside At Wells Fargo

By now, we get that Corey Conners is a premier iron player, especially over 200 yards (fourth in strokes gained on approach at 0.798), and he isn't typically a slouch off the tee, either. But to have lasting success on the PGA Tour, guys have to do more than that on occasion to notch some […]

Can Alex Noren Finally Post A Good Finish At Quail Hollow?

In three career attempts at this event, Alex Noren has a lone finish of T31 in 2017 along with two missed cuts. His downfall has come by losing a combined total of over six strokes on approach over his eight competitive rounds, and out there, that's all you need for a bad day at the […]

Cameron Young Has A Wide Spectrum Of Possibilities At Quail Hollow

Besides the fact that Cameron Young followed a T2 here in 2022 up with a T59 in 2023, his game, as a whole, has things that both excite and bewilder. He continues to be one of the best ball strikers on the PGA Tour, as his 29th ranking in strokes gained tee to green (0.390) […]

Tommy Fleetwood Looking To Bounce Back At Quail Hollow

It was a deflating performance at the RBC Heritage for Tommy Fleetwood after a solid run of finishes in Texas (T7 at Valero) and The Masters (T3). He never got anything going over the first two rounds due to losing three-and-a-half shots on the greens and over four shots on approach. Luckily, those areas drastically […]

Mark Hubbard Will Return To Mediocrity At TPC Craig Ranch

Don't let the third-place finish for Mark Hubbard and his partner, Ryan Brehm, at the team event in New Orleans trick you into expecting anything similar out of the San Jose State Alum this week in Texas. The lone highlight of him tapping in a three-footer for eagle amongst a handful of wonderful shots from […]

Doug Ghim's Putting History In Texas Makes Him A Hard Sell

Most of what Doug Ghim does from tee to green is what many fantasy players look for this week. He's ranked 19th in approaches from 175-200 yards, 27th in strokes gained off the tee (0.383), and 31st in strokes gained on approach (0.425) on the season. He's even ranked 76th in strokes gained putting (0.111), […]

Nate Lashley Looking To Rebound At Byron Nelson

It was a strong three-week push for Nate Lashley before a disappointing second-round 75 at the Corales Puntacana Championship sent him packing early. It would be a big momentum saver to rebound this week at TPC Craig Ranch, where he has put together a decent track record in five starts with only one missed cut. […]

Kevin Yu A Flier Pick With Likeable Upside At Byron Nelson

Amid a tough run of three missed cuts in his last four starts before finishing T28 with partner C.T. Pan at the Zurich Classic, Kevin Yu comes to Frisco, Texas, looking to turn things around over the back half of the season and will be starting at a place that calls for everything he is […]

Tom Kim A Safe Option With A Questionable Ceiling At Byron Nelson

Riding scorching-hot play with his irons (averaging 1.32 strokes gained on approach) over his last two starts, Tom Kim is a much more appealing name this week given the questionable firepower at the top of the board. Given how the season has gone thus far, it isn't far-fetched to think the South Korean is in […]

Sungjae Im As Good Of A Pick As Any At TPC Craig Ranch

It may have looked like a week off for Sungjae Im when looking at his PGA Tour schedule, but the South Korean was busy keeping his game sharp by defending his title at the Woori Financial Group Championship on the KPGA circuit. There isn't much statistical data available from that event, and the fact of […]

Adam Hadwin Too Volatile To Touch At RBC Heritage

Amongst the mostly disappointing starts for Adam Hadwin this season have been random spurts of good play. In those weeks, everything seems to be firing on all cylinders. However, those instances have not been anywhere close to one another and the events in between have seen breakdowns in both ball striking and the game on […]

Kurt Kitayama A Boring Play At RBC Heritage

Except for a brief scare at the WM Phoenix Open, Kurt Kitayama has been a mainstay on the bottom half of leaderboards, almost weekly. If safely getting all six guys to the weekend is your strategy, he's your guy. Just know that in this case, a high floor comes with a low ceiling, especially at […]

Emiliano Grillo Looking To Bounce Back At RBC Heritage

It was a messy two days at The Masters for Emiliano Grillo to say the least. An uncharacteristically putrid performance losing an average of nearly three shots off the tee made everything else impossible for the Argentinian. It was so bad, that it feels almost impossible to have anything close to the same outcome this […]

Sepp Straka Continues Maddening Run Of Inconsistent Play

Nothing seems to stay the same when determining Sepp Straka's golf game, other than the superb play off the tee, ranking 46th in strokes gained off the tee. Everything else has the potential to be miles in either direction. Ranking 12th in the field at Augusta National in strokes gained on approach is amazing. But […]

Keegan Bradley Looking To Get Over The Hump At Harbour Town

Coming off a T22 at The Masters and the best performance with his irons all season (1.44 strokes gained on approach), Keegan Bradley is rolling into Hilton Head this week and is looking to raise his current best finish of T44 at this event. It should play well to his strengths as an accurate ball-striker, […]

J.T. Poston A Decent Leverage Play With Upside At RBC Heritage

The only thing separating the recent mundane finishes for J.T. Poston versus the strong start he had to his 2024 season is putting. He averaged 1.08 strokes gained putting over his first four events compared to a -0.016 average through his last three starts. Ball striking hasn't been anything to write home about, but he […]

Akshay Bhatia A Perfect Fit For Harbour Town, But Take Caution

Akshay Bhatia has done nothing but play stellar golf in the last four weeks. He's the hottest young player currently with top-of-the-charts ball-striking numbers -- ranking 12th in strokes gained on approach (0.630) and 16th in strokes gained off the tee (0.504). There isn't anything to dislike about how he's been playing, however, a freak […]
