Sahith Theegala Is A Difficult Choice At 3M Open

It was strange to see Sahith Theegala struggle so much around Royal Troon given his solid T4 finish at the Scottish Open a week prior. The Renaissance Club is perhaps more "new-aged" than Troon, which translates to slightly more forgiving conditions, but, it isn't enough of a difference to explain going 77-79 over his two […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Open Championship

As the last major of the 2024 season ascends on its final day, the outcome for it is anyone's guess as Billy Horschel holds a one-stroke lead (-4) over a cluster of five guys behind him including the third-ranked golfer in the world, Xander Schauffele and one of Europe's most beloved players, Justin Rose. This […]

Dean Burmester May Be A Risk Worth Taking

For anyone who cares more about stats than gut instinct, Dean Burmester is likely not your man. However, for those who analyze trends and patterns more frequently than you crunch numbers, there may be something here to get excited about. The South African has world-class ball-striking abilities and typically a pretty stellar short game to […]

Justin Rose Making His 22nd Career Open Championship Appearance

It is always nice to reminisce on the infamous "burst-on-the-scene" moment for Justin Rose at the '98 playing of The Open Championship. That T4 at Carnoustie catapulted him into the homes of golf fans everywhere and put him on his journey of becoming arguably one of the best English golfers of all time. That ship […]

Robert Macintyre Hoping To Take Momentum From Historic Win To Royal Troon

Sunday at The Renaissance Club was everything golf fairytales are made of for Robert Macintyre; favorable bounces, faltering contenders, and an entire nation's full support. This isn't meant to sound like he didn't play well,--because he did--but it's easier to give the performance he did when everything out of his control inevitably went his way. […]

Sahith Theegala An Interesting But Risky Option At Royal Troon

It was a solid week in Scotland for Sahith Theegala (T4), but he couldn't muster enough firepower to make a run at the lead on Sunday, thanks to dodgy approach play. He lost 1.63 strokes on approach in the final round en route to posting a one-under at 69. It was still a positive week […]

Matt Fitzpatrick Looking For Consistent Ball-Striking At Open Championship

Trying to figure out poor ball striking isn't something you want to do at a major championship, but Matt Fitzpatrick doesn't have much choice. He's lost strokes on approach in his last two tournaments, and while it would be easier to overlook if they were at similar courses, that isn't the case; suggesting there is […]

Wyndham Clark Rolling Into Royal Troon After Intriguing Run Of Form

It's been quite the back-and-forth year for Wyndham Clark as he prepares for the year's final major. Inconsistency with the putter has plagued many of his rounds, but his last two outings have seen him average +1.46 strokes gained putting. He ended last week's Scottish Open with a round of -8, 63 by gaining a […]

Bryson Dechambeau Looking To Finish Off Historic Major Run At Royal Troon

No one has had more success at major championships this year than Bryson Dechambeau. Though with all the success at the year's hardest events, he has struggled to find the same discipline and mentality on the LIV circuit. He hasn't secured a victory for Crushers GC since the fall of last year and only has […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Genesis Scottish Open

It is a worldwide leaderboard at the Renaissance Club this week for the Genesis Scottish Open, with nine countries represented in the top 10 heading into the final day. As per the last few years, this tournament is being held as a hybrid event with the PGA Tour's European counterpart as a run-up to the […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 John Deere Classic

The week in Silvis, Illinois is coming to a close tomorrow as we look to crown the newest champion of one of the more underrated events on the PGA Tour schedule. It has been a predictable birdie fest over the first three days of the John Deere Classic, where shooting a couple of shots under […]

J.J. Spaun Back To A Non-Factor At John Deere Classic

It was nice to see J.J. Spaun back on a PGA Tour leaderboard last week in Detroit. Things have not gone as smoothly as things were looking after a decent run in the fall, as the tour journeyman hadn't had a top-25 finish on the books until a few days ago. His putting is as […]

Thorbjorn Oleson Looking To Wrangle In Ball-Striking At John Deere Classic

The week in Detroit was over before it started for Thorbjorn Oleson after carding an opening-round 77 (plus-five). His ball-striking let him down immensely over the two rounds, losing over 10 shots between iron and driver play. That won't get it done on any level of professional golf, let alone the PGA Tour. It is […]

Ben Griffin A Decent Option In Weaker Field At John Deere Classic

There hasn't been much excitement in playing Ben Griffin since his solo second at the RBC Canadian Open. He hasn't cracked the top 30 in the three events since, mostly because of horrible putting. However, he has a chance to notch another high finish this week at TPC Deere Run, which, certainly fits his game […]

Amateur Luke Clanton Riding Heavy Momentum Into John Deere Classic

Florida State golfer, Luke Clanton, put on a heck of a show in Detroit en route to finishing T10. The newest face in golf finished second in the field in strokes gained off the tee (+1.08) and 12th in GIR% (80.6%). The 20-year-old has some serious game and will be a force to be reckoned […]

Keith Mitchell A Hard Sell At John Deere Classic

From an all-around perspective, there is some stuff to like about Keith Mitchell. Sure, he's coming off a missed cut in Detroit where he lost over three strokes on the greens, but he was leading the field in strokes gained on approach over his two rounds played. Unfortunately, he didn't do enough anywhere else to […]

Sungjae Im Looking To Keep Strong Play Going At TPC Deere Run

Outside the Majors, Sungjae Im has been on a great run going back to the RBC Heritage. Since that T12 finish, the South Korean hasn't finished outside the top 10 in any non-major tournament. He has shown the ability to play well at tough venues, which makes his poor performances on the biggest stages so […]

McClure Meissner A Volatile Play With Upside At Rocket Mortgage

By most Korn Ferry Tour graduates' standards, McClure Meissner is having a fine rookie season. He has had some success at a few weaker field events but didn't do enough to crack the Aon Swing 5 this season. However, there is still tons of golf to be played in 2024, and with much of the […]

Luke Clanton Making A Start This Week In Detroit

It was a compelling battle on Sunday at Pinehurst between Luke Clanton and the eventual low amateur Neal Shipley for the coveted achievement. His success at Pinehurst #2 came from strong play with the driver, ranking 5th in the field in strokes gained off the tee (+1.06). Unfortunately, that statistic doesn't carry nearly as much […]

Tom Kim Riding Tons Of Momentum Into Detroit Golf Club

It must be frustrating to have the breakout performance Tom Kim had last week at the Travelers Championship, only to be snubbed by the hottest player the world has seen since Tiger Woods. Exhausting, at the very least. Nonetheless, Kim comes to this week's Rocket Mortgage Classic as the tournament favorite after leading the field […]

Keith Mitchell Looking To Keep Things Moving At Rocket Mortgage

It's been nearly a month since we last saw Keith Mitchell in action, where he finished T10 at the RBC Canadian Open. It's unfortunate to be forced to the sideline just as things seemed to be peaking, but if the game has hung around, he's in a good position to put together another high finish. […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Travelers Championship

Coming off two straight weeks of brutal, unforgiving golf, this week's Travelers Championship has returned to the usual birdie fest most have come to expect on tour. As most important tournaments do, the last Signature Event of the year has gathered the game's hottest players and will produce tons of drama in the final round. […]

Wyndham Clark Looking To Stop The Bleeding At Travelers Championship

It seems safe to assume that at this point, last year was much more a fluke than a reality for Wyndham Clark being one of the elite players in golf. Sure he lucked into a win at Pebble Beach earlier this season, but the event was called at 54 holes due to weather and the […]

Matt Fitzpatrick Looking For Consistency In Connecticut

For DFS managers, Matt Fitzpatrick has been a blood-pressure-raising pick for most of the season. After a solid T5 finish at a firm and fast Muirfield Village, expectations were high going into Pinehurst, but the Englishman barely squeaked by the cut line to shoot 79-69 over the weekend. His putter has not been cooperating lately, […]

Justin Thomas Looking To Bounce Back At Travelers Championship

It was a typical putting week for Justin Thomas at Pinehurst No. 2 -- it was bad. But the more than six shots he lost over the first two rounds were anything but typical. In fact, it was the first time JT has lost an average of over one stroke with his irons at a […]

Sam Burns A Flighty Pick For Travelers Championship

The finishes have been solid for Sam Burns in his last three events (T9, T15, T10), but the road to get there has been bumpy. The inconsistency from round to round has been his biggest pitfall from getting another win under his belt. Good rounds have typically been followed up by poor rounds, and at […]

Collin Morikawa Looks To Improve On History At Travelers Championship

In three career starts at TPC River Highlands, the best finish Collin Morikawa has been able to muster is a tie for 36th place in 2019. However, his play over the last two months is plenty of evidence to suspect he will better that finish. Over his last four events, he's averaging +0.987 strokes on […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 U.S. Open

With one round left in the 124th U.S. Open, where carnage has loomed over every shot, the marathon now turns into a sprint for the year's third major with Bryson DeChambeau out in front by three shots over Matthieu Pavon, Rory McIlroy, and Patrick Cantlay. The baked-out edition in 2014 never reared its head this […]

Dean Burmester A Risky Play At U.S. Open

Like most LIV players, Dean Burmester is a tough read thanks to the limited stats available for the Saudi-backed league. The play he demonstrated at The PGA Championship was impressive, as he finished T12 and ranked inside the top 15 for the event in strokes gained around the green (+0.66), on approach (+1.25), and tee […]

Justin Rose Is One Of The Most Volatile Players In This U.S. Open Field

After a resurgent season last year that saw Justin Rose return to being a prominent threat on the PGA Tour, 2024 has been much less kind to the former U.S. Open champion. The 151st-ranked player in strokes gained on approach (-0.417) still has the pedigree to show out here and there like we saw with […]
