Compared to the field this week at Muirfield Village, over the last 12 rounds played by every competitor, JT is ranked second in strokes gained around the green (+8.47), […]

Viktor Hovland Looks To Defend At Jack's Place
For Viktor Hovland, 2024 hasn't been as fruitful as last season when the 26-year-old won three times, including back-to-back victories to close the year and win the FedEx Cup. Most of it can be traced back to the odd shuffling of coaches since then, however, having returned to former instructor Joe Mayo has seen a […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 RBC Canadian Open
The PGA Tour returns to the country that gave the world ice hockey, peanut butter, and IMAX Theatres for the RBC Canadian Open. Through three rounds, the leaderboard has seen a heavy amount of turbulence with most players struggling to keep the hammer down from round to round. The third round saw Ryan Fox and […]

Kevin Yu In For A Long Week At RBC Canadian Open
Aside from a few splashes of form, Kevin Yu has been an unreliable source for DFS players this season. He is a beast off the tee, but with a putter, he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat (156th in strokes gained putting: -0.536). It's been the downfall of every tournament so […]

It Is Full Steam Ahead For Davis Thompson At RBC Canadian Open
After a missed cut at the first of the month, Davis Thompson has strung together a couple of solid finishes at the Myrtle Beach Classic (T2) and the Charles Schwab Challenge (T17). His ball-striking tee to green has been world-class, averaging +0.876 strokes gained off the tee and +0.76 strokes gained on approach over his […]

Erik Van Rooyen Looking To Ride With The Hot Putter In Canada
It has been an impressive year on the greens for Erik Van Rooyen, as the South African ranks 17th in strokes gained putting (+0.505). A statistic in which his best previous finish was 64th in the 20-21 season. He is holing putts from everywhere (9th in average distance of putts made: 80'6") and striking the […]

Keith Mitchell Looking For Any Signs Of Life With Putter In Canada
For everything Keith Mitchell has done well ball-striking-wise--and he's done a lot--horrendous putting has negated a thick majority of it. He currently ranks 7th on the year in strokes gained off the tee (+0.795) and 11th in strokes gained on approach (+0.597), but, the flipside is a 154th ranking in strokes gained putting (-0.383) and […]

Sam Burns Looking To Have Bounce-Back Performance In Canada
It was an abysmal outing on the greens at the PGA Championship for Sam Burns. The former LSU Tiger lost five shots with the putter through rounds one and two--his worst putting performance since November 2022. It's hard to imagine we see the same struggles on the greens at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, and […]

The Range Of Outcomes Is Wide For Shane Lowry At RBC Canadian
Coming off a T6 at the PGA Championship thanks to a career-best 62 on Saturday that propelled him to only a couple of shots back going into the final round, Shane Lowry heads north to this week's Canadian Open with more questions than answers. Yes, he had a quality finish in a major, but, he […]

Round 4 PGA Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge
The PGA Tour is concluding its final event in Texas for the 2024 season tomorrow at the newly renovated yet timely classic Colonial Country Club. The excitement and flash we saw a week ago at Valhalla have been much more subdued here at a less-getable venue and much windier conditions. The lead sits alone with […]

Rafael Campos A Risky Play At Charles Schwab Challenge
It isn't that there's nothing to like about where the game is at for Rafael Campos right now, as his T9 finish at the Byron Nelson would attest to. He gained over six shots on the greens at TPC Craig Ranch over rounds one, two, and four. His third-round score of -2 and losing -2.67 […]

Lucas Glover A Healthy Option At Charles Schwab Challenge
From a statistical perspective, Lucas Glover couldn't be more ready for a strong week at Colonial. Aside from dodgy putting, he checks all the boxes for what works around this track: accurate tee balls (sixth in driving accuracy: 74.92%), solid approach play from shorter distances (10th in approaches outside of 100 yards), and a great […]

Can Hayden Springer Turn Things Around At Colonial?
The thing with golf is it only takes one week for a player's life to change. But building confidence and consistency takes a very long time to wrangle in. For Hayden Springer, there is still a long way to go on both fronts. As a PGA Tour rookie via Q-School, things have been slow, as […]

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 […]

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 […]
