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 […]

Cameron Young Making Spot Start In Mexico

World No. 33 golfer Cameron Young is making his first start since a T43 finish at the BMW Championship, which ended his 2024 regular season. His game was much more in form to start the year than it was towards the closing stretch, as the 27-year-old went cold with his irons for his final two […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2024 World Wide Technology Championship

We are officially on the back half of the fall tournament schedule with three events left. The Tour is traveling south for the next two events, starting this week in Los Cabos, Mexico for the World Wide Technology Championship. El Cardonal at Diamante is the site that will play host to this championship for a […]

Doug Ghim Will Be A Popular Play In Tokyo

It was a close call last week in Vegas for Doug Ghim, who needed one more birdie to force a playoff with J.T. Poston. Nonetheless, it was an impressive week for the 28-year-old and one that shouldn't come as a shock given how well he's performed across the board in every fall series event, posting […]

Andrew Novak A Hard Name To Trust In Tokyo

It's been rough for Andrew Novak over the last couple of weeks. He withdrew from the Black Desert Championship and missed last week's cut in Vegas. The WD is mostly unknown other than he was on track to miss the weekend anyway, but his performance at the Shriners Open was due to bad iron play, […]

Seamus Power Looking To Get Back In The Saddle At Zozo Championship

Until last week's missed cut in Vegas, Seamus Power was a name seemingly on the verge of contending for a win with two T11s and a T10 in three of his last four starts. However, a poor second round on Friday saw the Irishman packing his bags early to head across the pond for his […]

Will Zalatoris Is An Easy Name To Love But Hard To Trust At Zozo Championship

Knowing how to feel about Will Zalatoris having not seen him since the BMW Championship is a real struggle. On the one hand, he finished the regular season with back-to-back top-15 finishes and averaged +0.705 strokes gained with the putter and +0.645 on approach over the two events. However, on the other hand, he went […]

Eric Cole Making Second Start At Zozo Championship After Near Miss Last Year

It's been a turbulent run in the fall swing for Eric Cole, as he's now recorded two missed cuts in three starts. Sound ball striking is typically the norm as the 36-year-old lives and dies by the flat stick. However, he lost over six shots on approach last week in Vegas. That doesn't spell success […]

Tom Hoge Looking For Bounce-Back Performance At Zozo Championship

It was a week to forget for Tom Hoge last week in Vegas, as he shot back-to-back one-over 72 rounds to miss the cut. He finished the regular season with a last-place finish at the Tour Championship before a T7 finish at the Procore Championship a few weeks ago. The positive is that the 35-year-old […]

Justin Thomas Making Third Appearance At Zozo Championship

It was an acceptable season for Justin Thomas in 2024, as the 31-year-old tied for 14th in the FedEx Cup points race. However, it was far from successful given the high performance we've come to expect as he heads to Tokyo looking for his first win since his PGA Championship victory in 2022. Thomas' year […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2024 Zozo Championship

The long week in Vegas is finally behind us as strong winds made it difficult to keep things on schedule and had players playing around the clock on the weekend to finish on time before making the trek to Tokyo, Japan for this week's Zozo Championship. Arguably the most popular event in the Fall Series, […]

Adam Svensson Looks To Build On Good Form At Shriners Open

Many thought last week's tournament in Utah was going to be the Adam Svensson show after the Canadian opened the event with an 11-under 60. Frustratingly, he couldn't maintain that level of form, though, as scores of 69-71-71 over the final three days ultimately pushed him down the leaderboard into a tie for 25th. Other […]

Chan Kim On A Downward Trend Heading Into First Career Start At Shriners Open

DFS players who took Chan Kim in lineups since the start of July have been pleasantly surprised for much of the last few months. However, things haven't been on a positive trend as of late, with the 34-year-old having three consecutive falls in placement finishes. His T48 last week in Utah was a bit of […]

J.J. Spaun A Risky Upside Play At Shriners Children's Open

Knowing what to make of J.J. Spaun ahead of this week's event at TPC Summerlin is hard business. On the one hand, he was churning out solid finishes to end the regular season, but on the other hand, he withdrew at the Sanderson Farms after posting a 75 in the first rounds. Luckily, he came […]

Harry Hall Making Fourth Start At Shriners Children's Open

It has been an impressive run over the last three months for Harry Hall, with a win and four top 20s over his last eight events played. The putter and short game have been paving the way, as he's averaged +0.572 strokes gained putting and +0.388 strokes gained around the green over his last 10 […]

Matthew McCarty Storms Into Vegas Fresh Off His First PGA Tour Victory

Winning has been contagious for Matthew McCarty over the last four months. The Korn Ferry graduate won three times in short order to automatically elevate to the PGA Tour; capturing the trophy this past week in Utah. It's a run most professionals only dream of doing, but the 26-year-old is making it a reality. In […]

Tom Hoge Makes For A Great Spot Start At Shriners Children's Open

It was a solid year for Tom Hoge in 2024, as the 35-year-old accumulated four top 10s and 12 top 25s en route to finishing T29th in the FedEx Cup race. That success was due in large part to impeccable iron play, ranking third on the PGA Tour in strokes gained on approach (+0.795). Which, […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2024 Shriners Children's Open

Hello, and welcome back to the Horse For The Course article at RotoBaller. I'm happy to have you as I am taking on a new piece for the site and enlightening everyone on the best course history plays of the upcoming week. Up next is a familiar place to the PGA Tour schedule as the […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Black Desert Championship

The PGA Tour is back in Utah for the first time since 1963 for the Black Desert Championship. One round is left to decide the winner of the season's third Fall Series event. Matt McCarty holds a two-stroke lead with 18 holes to play over a slew of names, including some recognizable faces and others […]

Justin Lower Is On A Consistent Run Going Into Black Desert Championship

From a cuts-made perspective, Justin Lower is one of the best in the field, as the 35-year-old looks to make his ninth cut in a row this week in Utah. However, it has been difficult for him to crack the top 25 in most of them with an average finish of 39th over that span. […]

Adam Svensson Looks To Rediscover Putter Magic At Black Desert Championship

Adam Svensson is coming off a missed cut in Mississippi due to poor putting, as the Canadian lost over four strokes on the greens through his two rounds played. However, before last week, his previous two events saw him averaging plus-1.45 strokes gained on the greens en route to T7 and T13 finishes. The other […]

Michael Thorbjornsen Looks To Keep Momentum Going In Utah

It was a solid week in Mississippi for Michael Thorbjornsen as the young 23-year-old rode a hot putter to a T8 finish. He ranked seventh on the week in strokes gained putting (+1.48) and fourth in strokes gained off the tee (+0.88), both of which he was very hot and cold in the seven events […]
