Cameron Young Looking For Better Finish At TPC Sawgrass
It wasn't as flashy of a showing for Cameron Young at the Arnold Palmer Invitational as most were expecting, as his second-worst putting performance on the season (minus-0.80 in strokes gained) kept him from getting anything going. With that said, the former Demon Deacon hasn't performed horribly on the greens at Sawgrass in his first […]
Todd McGill 8 months agoRickie Fowler Still Looking For Last Year's Form
It has been a slow and underwhelming start to the season for Rickie Fowler. However, the Tour schedule coming up gives him the best chance to turn it around, as he is notorious for his successful play in the southeast part of the country. However, the reality of playing well starting at Bay Hill has […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoKurt Kitayama Looking To Defend Title At Arnold Palmer Invitational
The defending champion, Kurt Kitayama, is coming into the week in weird form. On one hand, he has shown some of the best iron play we've seen from anyone all season (currently 20th in strokes gained on approach at .625), but on the other hand, his putting has been horrific (currently 118th in strokes gained […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoJake Knapp Making First Career Start In A Signature Event
Jake Knapp has been a PGA Tour golden boy since winning the Mexico Open a couple of weeks ago. However, his first test against all of the upper-echelon players the tour has to offer comes this week at Bay Hill. The Korn Ferry Tour graduate has yet to establish any course history here, but on […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoChris Kirk Looking To Get Back On Track At Bay Hill
Since winning the Sentry early in the season, Chris Kirk has been flatter than most people were expecting. However, a rough time on the greens, coupled with a few spotty weeks with the irons will do that. The good news is that the tour is hitting the point in the season that has been the […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoSahith Theegala Looking To Take Hot Putter To Bay Hill
If there has been a leaderboard to be on in the last five months, Sahith Theegala has more than likely been on it. Seven of his past 12 events have ended in a top-20 finish or better, including a win at the Fortinet Championship in September. Most of his success has come from his putting […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoWyndham Clark Is Looking For A Spark In Florida
Since winning the U.S. Open last year, Wyndham Clark has returned to the consistent yet underwhelming player he was before last season. Sure, he has a win to his name in 2024 at a shortened AT&T Pro-Am, but being shortened to 54 holes puts it on equal grounds of LIV, and we've seen what the […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoCan Matt Fitzpatrick Finally Win At Bay Hill?
It has been a turbulent run over the past two months for the 2021 U.S. Open Champion Matt Fitzpatrick. Where there have been top-15 finishes, there have been missed cuts close by. However, we are hitting a part in the tour schedule that has yielded better putting performances for Fitzpatrick historically. Over his last eight […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoCameron Young Looking To Continue His Strong Play At Bay Hill
It has been a successful start to the season for Cameron Young. With his most recent T4 finish this past week at PGA National, it's not a matter of if he'll break into the winner's circle, it's when. The Wake Forrest product is a stat buffet, ranking 15th in strokes gained off the tee (.607), […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoJustin Thomas Is Making His Second Start At Bay Hill
So far in 2024, Justin Thomas has played in four events, which has resulted in one top-five, one top-10, one top-15, and a missed cut. However, it's worth noting that things have transpired in that order. JT still has the ball-striking prowess we've come to expect, but there has been no magic to be found […]

Coming off a T10 finish at the Genesis Invitational, Tommy Fleetwood has made the most of the early season. He already has a win under his belt on the DP World Tour and is coming to an event where he has had very respectable finishes in the past (six of seven on made cuts) that […]

The return to golf for Will Zalatoris has been swift and emphatic. He hasn't won, but he has gotten darn close. With a T2 finish at Riviera, Willy Z is coming into the Florida swing with perhaps the most momentum of anyone. He hasn't lost in any strokes-gained statistic since the Sony Open (his first […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoDoug Ghim Is On An Impressive Run To Start The Florida Swing
After missing the cut in his first two events of the season, Doug Ghim has caught lightning in a bottle. After a T13 at the Farmers, a T12 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, and a T8 at the Mexico Open, the former Longhorn comes into the Florida run perhaps with more fuel than anyone, […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoMaverick McNealy Is An Intriguing Play At PGA National
Maverick McNealy is off to a solid start to his new year with a T6 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and a T13 last week in Mexico. The 28-year-old is 23rd (.960) in strokes gained total, 26th (.633) in strokes gained putting, and 43rd (.346) in strokes gained off the tee. The things that […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoLucas Glover Far From A Must-Play At PGA National
The first two months of the 2024 season haven't been bad for Lucas Glover, but they haven't been great, either. After a wild few weeks through the playoffs last season, the 44-year-old has gotten off to an incredibly shaky start with his putter in his four events so far this year. He is currently ranked […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoCan Erik Van Rooyen Keep His Consistency Going In Florida?
Keeping the momentum going from week to week has been the pitfall in Erik Van Rooyen's career. He's no stranger to sprinkling in a top-10 performance between a string of missed cuts, or have things going great for a few weeks before a massive letdown that lasts for a month or more. That roller coaster […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoAdam Svensson Needs To Find Some Putting Form In Florida
On paper, Adam Svensson looks like he should be a weekly contender. He's inside the top 50 in several statistical categories, most notably in strokes gained off the tee (46th at .320) and strokes gained on approach (37th at .508). But it's hard to contend when you can't get the ball in the hole. The […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoBeau Hossler Looking To Keep The Good Times Rolling In Florida
Beau Hossler has continued to rise the elite ladder since getting his card in 2018, with most of that growth coming in the post-COVID era. The 64th-ranked player in the world has made all five cuts on the year, with a T6 at the Farmers Insurance Open as his best finish up to this point. […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoDenny McCarthy Looking To Heat Up At PGA National
So far on the season, Denny McCarthy is 4-for-4 on made cuts with two top-25 finishes. His bread and butter has been with his putter and wedges, where he ranks 37th in strokes gained in putting (.472) and 70th in strokes gained around the green (.143). His biggest weakness has been with the driver, but […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoChris Gotterup Is Struggling So Far In His Rookie Season
Since securing his tour card last season via the Korn Ferry Tour points list, Chris Gotterup has been hard-pressed to find any momentum yet in 2024. The longest man on tour (with an average drive of 317.8 yards) is a sight to behold with a driver in his hand. He's ranked a modest 46th in […]

Todd McGill 9 months agoAndrew Novak Looking To Keep A Good Thing Going At Mexico Open
It was a frustrating start to the season for Andrew Novak, as he missed the first three cuts of the season. However, the 28-year-old found a spark at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, finishing T8. His iron play continues to be a strength, as he is ranked 10th in strokes gained on approach (0.844) and […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoRobert MacIntyre Is A Shiny Name That Should Be Avoided
Robert MacIntyre has created a name for himself with a few high finishes in some of golf's biggest events over the past few years. However, that history has not aided him much in this new season. He has missed three straight cuts since his T52 finish at the Sony Open, and everything it takes to […]
Todd McGill 9 months agoTyler Duncan Is A Risky Pick With Upside In Mexico
Tyler Duncan hasn't been a name on most fantasy radars this season, and for good reason. After a strong showing in the fall, where he racked up three solid finishes that topped off with a T3 at the RSM Classic, the journey to begin the new year has been very ho-hum. With a T34 at […]
