Jordan Spieth Trying To Pay Off Recent Form With A Win

It's been a pretty successful last few weeks for the ever-mercurial Jordan Spieth. A 19th-place finish this past week at the PLAYERS was the best result Spieth has had since 2014 at TPC Sawgrass. The ball-striking looks to be in fine form heading into this week's Valspar Championship in Tampa. Spieth has gained over a […]

Victor Perez Making A Rare Start On The PGA Tour

One of the bigger surprises in the field this week, Victor Perez, is taking a break from his traditional full-time DP World Tour schedule to tee it up at the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort. The 30-year-old Frenchman has reached a peak world ranking of 29th and has made waves in limited starts on the […]

Maverick McNealy Still Shaking Off The Rust In Florida

After a six-week injury hiatus, Maverick McNealy did himself proud at Sawgrass in one of the tougher fields we'll get all season. His 60th-place performance won't turn many heads, but there were several bigger names who couldn't earn the same right to play all four rounds at the PLAYERS. McNealy will get another opportunity to […]

Mark Hubbard Coming Off Strong Players Championship Result

A 35th-place finish for Mark Hubbard at TPC Sawgrass won't exactly make front-page headlines, but it should give the 33-year-old veteran some confidence after missing seven of his previous nine cuts. Hubbard's classic calling card - his iron play - seems to be coming back to him since the Tour has moved into its Florida […]

Nate Lashley Finding Some Form To Start 2023

Fresh off of his fourth consecutive made cut at The Players Championship and two weeks removed from his second top-10 finish of the season in Puerto Rico, Nate Lashley has another chance to take his good play into a weaker field at the Valspar Championship. Lashley has been known to go on a hot stretch […]

Wyndham Clark A Dangerous Name At The Valspar Championship

In a field that only features four of the OWGR's Top 25, Wyndham Clark has emerged as a legitimate threat to contend at the Valspar Championship. While Clark has always been a prodigious driver of the ball, 2023 has seen him become one of the premier iron players on the PGA Tour as well, as […]

Byeong-Hun An Flashing Vintage Form

After a 2021 that saw one of the PGA Tour's fan favorites hit rock bottom, Byeong-Hun An has emerged from the Korn Ferry Tour as a renewed golfer in 2023. An has started the new year by making six of six cuts, and flashing an elite combination of approach play and short game that helped […]

Flag Hunting: PGA Betting Picks - Valspar Championship

As the PGA Tour’s Florida swing enters its final leg in Palm Harbor, golf bettors might be relieved to see that neither Scottie Scheffler nor Jon Rahm will be teeing it up at Innisbrook this week. It’s been quite a run for the top two players on the planet - combining to win four of […]

Emiliano Grillo Showing Life Heading Into Sawgrass

Emiliano Grillo's game had seemed to have cooled off a bit after a torrid run to start the swing season, but a 39th-place finish at Bay Hill showed us a lot more life than we've seen in the last few months. Grillo led the field from tee-to-green and gained a whopping 10.5 shots ball-striking over […]

Sahith Theegala Looking To Put It All Together At Sawgrass

The runner-up for the 2022 Rookie of the Year award has come out of the gates like he has something to prove in 2023. Sahith Theegala has not only logged a fourth-, sixth- and 14th-place finishes in three of his last four starts, but he's achieved those results in a multitude of different ways. After […]

Tyrrell Hatton Looks To Rebound

For a few moments on Sunday afternoon, it looked like Tyrrell Hatton was primed to repeat his 2020 triumph at Bay Hill. However, a three-putt on the Par 5 12th, followed by sloppy bogies at 13 and 17, saw Hatton fall back into a tie for fourth, coming just two shots short of his second […]

Keith Mitchell Continues To Lurk As A Preeminent Dark-Horse

Outside of a select few PGA A-listers, it's tough to find a player with more confidence than Keith Mitchell right now. Fresh off of another top-25 finish in a marquee event, Mitchell finds himself on a five-event made-cut streak in which he's recorded two finishes inside the top five (Riviera and Pebble Beach). This week […]

Chris Kirk Presented With Another Golden Opportunity

Fresh off of his first PGA Tour win in nearly eight years, we're sure Chris Kirk was more than happy with a T39 at a brutally difficult Bay Hill last week. Kirk gained strokes in three of the four major statistical categories and was mainly done in by a lack of firepower off the tee. […]

Hideki Matsuyama Hoping Sawgrass Can Provide A Springboard

It's been a rough go of things recently for the 2021 Masters champion, as Hideki Matsuyama comes into the Players Championship on the back of two missed cuts at Bay Hill and Riviera. Matsuyama has played Sawgrass extremely well over the course of his career (five T25s to only two missed cuts), but the questions […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick Still In Search Of Consistency

A 14th-place finish at Bay Hill was certainly a step in the right direction for Matthew Fitzpatrick. However, a Saturday 76 will certainly sit on his mind as much as the positives we saw in Rounds 1, 2 and 4. It was an uncommon sight for the normally reliable Fitzpatrick to give away a chance […]

Jon Rahm Looking To Rebound At Sawgrass

It's not often a player is in full "search" mode following a 39th-place finish at Bay Hill, but for a player of Jon Rahm's caliber, three weekend scores of 76, 76, 72 after a Thursday 65 is worthy of examination. Rahm had the worst driving week of his career last week, and now he heads […]

Flag Hunting: PGA Betting Picks - THE PLAYERS Championship

Kurt. Kitayama. I never thought I’d see the day a 200-1 long shot would stare down and outgun some of the best players on the planet around Bay Hill. Credit to the 30-year-old Californian however, who overcame a back-breaking triple bogey on his ninth hole, and went bogey-free around Bay Hill’s treacherous back-nine to win […]

Flag Hunting: PGA Betting Picks - Arnold Palmer Invitational

After a fun little hors d'oeuvre in Palm Beach Gardens, the PGA Tour’s Florida Swing moves quickly into the first of two upcoming main courses: the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge. Although the cache of Arnie’s event has always helped Bay Hill draw its fair share of star power, 2023 brings […]

Billy Horschel Continues To Chase Elusive Florida Victory

After last week's debacle that saw Billy Horschel fall from Thursday leader to a tie for 42nd by Sunday evening, Horschel looks to get things rolling in the right direction at a venue where he came one shot short last year. The proud University of Florida alum has been very vocal about his desire to […]

Keith Mitchell Heading Back To Friendly Confines

Fresh off of a fifth-place finish at Riviera, Keith Mitchell takes another shot at a big title at Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Mitchell isn't the flashiest name in the field this week, but his elite driving ability has helped him nab two top-six finishes in four career starts at Bay Hill. At […]

Chris Kirk Going For Back-To-Back In Florida

After a remarkable four days of golf to claim the win at PGA National, Chris Kirk looks to carry that momentum forward into a premium spot at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Kirk has quietly finished fifth, eighth, 15th and 13th over his last four starts at Bay Hill, and his steady all-around game should be […]

Hideki Matsuyama Still Searching For Elite Ceiling

It's been a decent run of form to start 2023 for Hideki Matsuyama, making three of his four cuts with one top-10 finish. However, when you're a Masters champion and the former No. 2 player in the world, expectations are a lot higher than just making a few paychecks. Matsuyama hopes to show flashes of […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick Looking To Get His Season Rolling At Bay Hill

It's been a bit of a slow start to 2023 for the defending U.S. Open Champion, but the difficult confines of Bay Hill might be the perfect tonic for a player like Matthew Fitzpatrick. He has finished inside the top 15 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in five of his six career starts, highlighted by […]

Jon Rahm The Consensus Favorite Again At Bay Hill

Two weeks removed from his third win in five 2023 starts, Jon Rahm makes another run at a seven-figure payday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. As the consensus No. 1 player on the planet, it's hard to find a lot to nitpick in Rahm's profile, and he just so happened to lead last year's API […]
