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. […]

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 […]

Brian Harman A Big Name With Tons Of Risk
Since being a bridesmaid at The Players Championship, Brian Harman has been in a rough stretch due to horrid iron play; losing an average of -1.29 strokes on approach over his last three starts.

Si Woo Kim Looking To Continue The Good Play At RBC Heritage
He may not be showing up on the first page of leaderboards, but Si Woo Kim is quietly putting together a nice season. He's 10 for 10 on made cuts including one Major and The Players Championship. Superb ball striking has been the main factor, as he ranks 11th on the season in strokes gained […]

Justin Thomas Due For A Bounce-back At RBC Heritage
The wheels on the struggle bus remained firmly fixed to the road for Justin Thomas. He comes to Harbour Town, a place that has been kind to the two-time major winner, off the heels of a missed cut at The Masters; his second in the last three starts. Things with the putter have been abysmal, […]

Tommy Fleetwood Will Be A Popular Pick At RBC Heritage
Coming off a T7 at the Valero two weeks ago, and a share of third place last week at The Masters, Tommy Fleetwood is on a heater right now. He's gained an average of 1.2 strokes on approach over those two starts and nearly a stroke off the tee during that same span. He has […]

Rory McIlroy Returning To Harbour Town With More Eyeballs Than Ever
Perhaps it's because of the fine he received for skipping this event last season, or maybe because of the rumors swirling since leaving Augusta National on Sunday that the once-staunch critic of LIV Golf was in talks to join the rival league. Either way, Rory McIlroy comes to this week's RBC Heritage with just as […]

Save Yourself The Heartache And Don't Play Sepp Straka At The Masters
Perhaps the most turbulent of players in this week's field is Sepp Straka. When it seems like he is gearing up for a run of good play, a missed cut slaps DFS players in the face. It's frustrating to rank inside the top 10 in strokes gained tee to green one week, and at the […]

Keegan Bradley Coming To Augusta National With Ice-Cold Putter
The 2024 season hasn't quite been the same level of play for Keegan Bradley, as he has missed three of his last four cuts thanks to losing an average of almost a stroke and a half with his putter during that time. His woes on the greens have been the most talked-about part of his […]

Nicolai Hojgaard Looking For Putter At Augusta National
It's been a rough go on the greens for Nicolai Hojgaard over his last four events, as he's lost an average of minus-1.075 strokes putting over that time, which isn't something DFS managers want to hear coming into one of the most difficult putting tests we'll see all year. It's a problem that his top-level […]

Tiger Woods Set To Make Another Start At The Masters
Yes, Tiger Woods is returning to golf after withdrawing from the Genesis Open in February due to an illness that sent the golf world into a frenzy.

Nick Taylor A Boring Play At The Masters
Since his win at the WM Phoenix Open, Nick Taylor has been doing just enough to get by. He boasts a solid 13th ranking in strokes gained on approach (0.629) and 19th in strokes gained putting ((0.575), but everything else hasn't been very good. He's making cuts, but other than a T12 at the API, […]

Sahith Theegala Making Second Start At Augusta National
Coming into the first major of the season, Sahith Theegala has been a permanent fixture near the lead on a weekly basis with two top-10 finishes in his last three starts.

Max Homa Looking To Get Over The Hump At The Masters
Besides a missed cut at TPC Sawgrass, Max Homa has been playing decent golf over the last month and a half with two top 25s and one top 10. His most recent outing last week at the Valero Texas Open saw him have positive strokes gained metrics across the board, though none of them were […]

The more things change, the more they stay the same. That has been the story for Viktor Hovland in 2024 after taking The Tour by storm last season.

Jon Rahm Making First 72-Hole-Event Start Since November
For many of us, it will be the first time seeing Jon Rahm hit a live shot in 2024. With that anticipation in mind, however, is the realization that placing him in the fold for DFS strategies is essentially a dart throw, though one with the ability to land squarely on a bullseye. There aren't […]
