Chris Gotterup Heads to Pebble Beach as the Hottest Player in Golf
With three events played to start his 2026 season, Chris Gotterup has already won twice and catapulted his way to No. 5 in the world rankings. The former Scarlett Knight ranks third through the early part of the year in strokes gained from tee to green at an outrageous +2.631 average. This will be his first time playing at the famed Pebble Beach, and the biggest question is, can he keep things going here? The 26-year-old isn't the greatest with low irons and wedges, as his 6.1% good shot percentage from 100 to 150 yards ranks in the 29th percentile of touring pros. He has also never gained strokes putting on poa annua green surfaces so far in his short career. Regardless of his form coming in, pivoting to different options to thwart the high ownership he'll have could be the best strategy from a DFS perspective.
