2 months agoAdam Scott has officially become the "old guy" at this week's Presidents Cup. The 44-year-old Australian is set to take part in his 11th career Presidents Cup in Montreal. Scott is expected to be a steadying, veteran presence for the International Team, as they are set to take on a talented, but relatively inexperienced United States squad. The Aussie won't just be a figurehead member of the team this week, as Scott closed his 2024 season in red-hot form. He notched top-10 results in four of his last five starts to finish fourth in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Don't be surprised if the veteran is a thorn in the side of the Americans at Royal Montreal.

2 months agoMin Woo Lee is set to make his Presidents Cup debut at Royal Montreal this week. The Australian is one of just two rookies on the International Team. Lee's magnetic personality and exciting playing style have been a breath of fresh air for golf fans over the last two years. He should bring some energy to the International squad this week. The 26-year-old has logged three DP World Tour wins and finished 60th in the FedEx Cup standings in 2024, his first full season on the PGA Tour. Lee is an explosive player who potentially could play a large role in an International upset of the United States.

2 months agoCorey Conners had an exceptionally consistent 2024 season, with 14 top-25 finishes, including five top-five finishes and no missed cuts in any tournaments. Conners also finished in a tie for ninth at the U.S. Open and T25 at The Open Championship. His consistency paid off, as he finished tied for seventh in the final FedEx Cup standings this year. This week, he will represent the International team at the Presidents Cup, held at the Blue Course at Royal Montreal Golf Club in his native Canada. It's worth mentioning that the Blue Course includes some of the narrowest fairways golfers will see all year, and in 2024 Conners ranked 34th in driving accuracy percentage, hitting 64.29% of fairways from tee shots. Conner's consistency has been second to none, and he could be a solid addition to DFS lineups this week.

2 months agoHideki Matsuyama had an exceptional 2024 season, with three top-10 finishes, including one win in his final four tournaments. He won two tournaments this year and finished in a tie for ninth in the final FedEx Cup standings. Despite having to withdraw from the BMW Championship the week before the Tour Championship due to injury, Matsuyama's career matchplay record is 17-22-7. This week, he'll represent the International team at the Presidents Cup held at the Blue Course at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Blue Course has some of the narrowest fairways golfers will see all year. In 2024, Matsuyama ranked 91st in driving accuracy percentage, hitting 59.67% of fairways from tee shots. While Matsuyama has been excellent at times this year, including him in DFS lineups this week comes with some risk.

2 months agoXander Schauffele finished the 2024 season with five straight top-10 finishes, including his second major win and fourth place in the final FedEx Cup standings. He is expected to play a key role for Team USA as they compete against the International team at the Blue Course at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Quebec, Canada this week. It's worth noting that the Blue Course has some of the narrowest fairways seen this year, which emphasizes the importance of accuracy off the tee for golfers. In 2024, Schauffele ranked 67th in driving accuracy percentage, hitting 61.57% of fairways from his tee shots. With Schauffele's exceptional form at the end of the season, he could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

2 months agoScottie Scheffler will be leading Team USA at the Blue Course at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Quebec, Canada this week. Scheffler is heading into this week's match play competition against the International team after an unprecedented season in 2024 where he captured the podium eight times. He has a career matchplay record of 17-9-6. It's important to note that the Blue Course at Royal Montreal Golf Club has some of the narrowest fairways golfers will see all year. Scheffler ranked 17th in driving accuracy percentage, hitting 66.90% of fairways from tee shots in 2024. Considering Scheffler's outstanding 2024 season, he could be a solid addition to DFS lineups this week.

2 months agoThe more we see and get to know Sahith Theegala, the easier it is to pull for him. He was a consistent name in 2024, albeit wildly drastic from week to week. However, his recent third-place finish to close out the season at the Tour Championship showed us his moxie and true character, making him a worthy addition to the U.S. team at Royal Montreal in two weeks. Given the rollercoaster that can be his golf game, he seems better suited to help the cause more in the foursome format than alternate shot, so it will be interesting to see how he is used by Captain, Jim Furyk. Nonetheless, his animated approach to the game will help give the American squad a needed jolt of energy, and a strong performance could pave the way for even bigger things in 2025 for the young star.

2 months agoTony Finau finished T23 in the final 2024 FedEx Cup standings after a somewhat lackluster end to the season. Despite heading into the FedEx Cup playoffs with three top-10 finishes, he couldn't maintain that form. Nevertheless, Finau had a great season with a total of five top-10 finishes. He will now bring his wealth of experience to Team USA at the Presidents Cup, having previously played in 2019 and 2022, as well as being included on the Ryder Cup teams for 2018 and 2021. While Finau's finish to the season was not as strong as he had hoped, his experience in team events might make him a valuable addition to DFS lineups.

2 months agoSam Burns has secured a spot on Team USA for the upcoming Presidents Cup as a captain's pick. Burns had a strong start to the 2024 season but faced challenges maintaining that level of play during the middle of the season. Nonetheless, he finished the season strongly with two top-five finishes in his last three tournaments and tied for 12th in the final FedEx Cup standings. While Burns' experience from the 2023 Ryder Cup is valuable for the team event, it's important to note that there is some risk involved in including him in DFS lineups.

2 months agoPatrick Cantlay finished the 2024 season strongly, securing his spot on the Team USA roster for the upcoming Presidents Cup at The Royal Montreal Golf Club in two weeks. Cantlay has achieved five top-20 finishes in his last six tournaments, including two top-five finishes. Having been a key member of past Ryder Cup teams, he brings invaluable experience to Team USA. Given Cantlay's strong finish to the 2024 season, he is worth considering for DFS lineups.

2 months agoWyndham Clark's performance in the 2024 season has been inconsistent, but he displayed his best form during the FedEx Cup playoffs. He secured a tie for seventh at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, 13th at the BMW Championship, and finished the season in eighth place in the FedEx Cup standings. It's worth noting that Clark missed the cut in three out of four major championships this year, but he has demonstrated his potential to contribute to Team USA at the Presidents Cup. Including Clark in DFS lineups could pay, although it also carries some risk.

2 months agoScottie Scheffler concluded the 2024 season as the FedEx Cup Champion. He is now gearing up for the Presidents Cup at The Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Scheffler performed remarkably throughout the season, securing nine victories, including a gold medal at the Olympics. Additionally, he achieved 11 top-10 finishes. As a key player for Team USA, Scheffler is expected to lead the team and will be a valuable addition to DFS lineups.

2 months agoKeegan Bradley will lead Team USA at the Presidents Cup in two weeks as they take on the International Team at The Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Bradley finished the season playing quality golf, which saw him win the BMW Championship and end the season T21 in the final FedEx Cup standings. After being left off the previous Ryder Cup team, Bradley now has the opportunity to showcase his leadership. Despite being overlooked, he could be a solid addition to DFS lineups.

2 months agoPerhaps the most successful season without a win is the easiest way to sum up the 2024 season for Collin Morikawa. The 27-year-old compiled two runner-up finishes, eight top 10s, and 16 top 25s over his 21 starts. His final-round performance ultimately kept him out of the winner's circle, ranking 107th in round four scoring average (70.47) for the season. It's a frustrating part of the game, but one that tells us he isn't far off from getting back to the dominant player from just a couple of years ago. He heads to the Royal Montreal Golf Club for the President's Cup in two weeks to help the U.S. Team continue its dominance over the International squad, boasting a 6-4-1 record in three previous team appearances. He isn't nearly the most dominant force on the American squad, but Captain Jim Furyk will certainly rely on the veteran's strong play in 2024 and needed experience to help settle in the new faces in this year's group.

2 months agoFor most avid golf fans, we knew it was only a matter of getting a big win under the belt for Xander Schauffele to transform into the dominant force he was this season. After winning the PGA Championship in thrilling fashion and finally getting that monkey off his back, the 30-year-old didn't wait long for his second major victory by shooting a final-round, 65 to win the Claret Jug. It was undoubtedly the best season of his career, with two wins, three runner-up finishes, 15 top 10's, and 20 top 25's. Boasting a 10-5-0 record in four previous team competitions, Schauffele is certainly one of the leaders for the U.S. squad at the upcoming President's Cup. His calm demeanor and world-class skillset make him an easy pair with any of the new faces making their first start in team competition. Look for him to do big things at Royal Montreal, and in 2025, as well.
