Tony Finau Looking For Wins In 2019

Tony Finau is set to make his first start of 2019 in the upcoming Farmers Insurance Open. His 2018 season was a successful year by any measure, but the rising star failed to get his second career victory on the PGA Tour. Finau has an excellent chance to get in the win column in this […]

Justin Rose Has Played Well At Torrey Pines

Justin Rose is scheduled to tee it up in the upcoming Farmers Insurance Open. Rose kicked off 2019 with a T34 outing in last week's Desert Classic. It was an underwhelming performance from the top-ranked player in the world, but should serve as a nice warm-up to the challenge that awaits at Torrey Pines. Rose […]

Marc Leishman Looks To Stay Hot At Farmers

PGA DFS: Horse For The Course - Farmers Insurance Open

Raise your hand if you had Adam Long winning the Desert Classic. Yeah...me neither. Long birdied the 72nd hole of the tournament to finish one shot clear of Phil Mickelson and Adam Hadwin (our top Pony in last week's article!). It was the 31-year-old's first career PGA Tour victory and solidifies (at least in my […]

Adam Long Unlikely Winner Of Desert Classic

Adam Long won the 60th Annual Desert Classic Sunday. It was the 31-year-old's first career victory on the PGA Tour. Long played almost flawlessly over the weekend, logging rounds of 63 and 65.

Phil Mickelson Falls Short In Desert Classic

Phil Mickelson had a great week at the Desert Classic, but fell one stroke shy of picking up his 44th career victory on the PGA Tour. After an unexpected opening-round 60, Mickelson led or co-led the majority of the tournament and he entered Sunday's final round in great position. "Lefty" fired a final-round 69, but […]

Phil Mickelson Starts 2019 With A Bang

Phil Mickelson made a little history in his first start of 2019 at the Desert Classic. Mickelson fired an opening round 12-under par 60 Thursday at La Quinta Country Club.

Russell Henley Has Struggled In The Desert Classic

Russell Henley is slated to tee it up in this week's Desert Classic. Henley was underwhelming in his first start of 2019, finishing tied for 66th in last week's Sony Open. The 2018 season was a disappointing one for Henley and his game still looked out of sorts in Hawaii. Things might not improve this […]

Brendan Steele Hopes To Get Back On Track

Brendan Steele is participating in this week's Desert Classic. It will be his first start of 2019. Steele suffered through a brutal 2018 that included a stretch of 12 consecutive starts without a top-45 finish.

Joaquin Niemann Rested and Recharged

It was a whirlwind rookie season for Joaquin Niemann in 2018. The young phenom took the PGA Tour by storm last year, racking up four top-10's in just 13 starts. However, Niemann appeared to run out of steam as 2018 wrapped up and finished just T60 at Mayakoba and T65 at the RSM Classic. The […]

Daniel Berger will be making his first start of 2019 at this week's Desert Classic. It will be Berger's first start since the Dell Technologies Championship.

Patrick Cantlay will make his first start of 2019 at this week's Desert Classic. The 26-year-old had a breakout season in 2018, finishing 20th in the FedEx Cup season standings.

PGA DFS: Horse For The Course - Desert Classic

Hi and welcome back RotoBallers! The Sony Open didn't provide the same final-round fireworks that we saw at the Sentry TOC, as Matt Kuchar's tremendous play down the stretch secured a fairly stress-free victory at Waialae Country Club. It was Kuchar's second win in just a couple of months and he will be a player […]

Paul Casey Misses Cut At Sony Open

Paul Casey turned in a disappointing performance last week, missing the cut at the Sony Open. The normally reliable Casey didn't play horrible, but rounds of 72 and 68 left him at even par through 36 holes, two strokes short of the cut line. The Englishman was held back by a balky putter and lost […]

Scott Piercy Has Solid Outing At Sony

Scott Piercy had another solid performance in the Sony Open, logging a T33 at Waialae Country Club. Piercy has played well on the Hawaiian course throughout his career and this week was no different.

Stewart Cink Fades Over The Weekend

After a blistering second-round 62, Stewart Cink headed into the weekend squarely in contention at the Sony Open. The 45-year-old failed to back up the 62, shooting pedestrian rounds of 70 and 69 over the weekend at Waialae Country Club. His underwhelming results over the final 36 holes sent the veteran tumbling down the leaderboard. […]

Zach Johnson Disappoints In Hawaii

Zach Johnson started 2019 in disappointing fashion, missing the cut at the Sony Open. Despite logging an eagle in both of his rounds, Johnson shot 71-68 to sit at one-under par after 36 holes and miss the weekend cut by one shot. The two-time major champion had a history of great finishes at Waialae, which […]

Marc Leishman Continues To Roll At Sony Open

Marc Leishman continued his elite-level play in Hawaii, finishing the Sony Open in a tie for third place.

Ian Poulter Continuing Solid Play In 2019

Ian Poulter revived his career in 2018 and brought in the new year with a solid 18th-place finish at last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. Poulter looked sharp tee-to-green at Kapalua, but surprisingly fought a balky putter for most of the week. The Englishman picked up his first career victory in a PGA Tour stroke-play […]

Kevin Na Questionable For Sony

It's not often that we see a PGA golfer listed as questionable, but that's the current status of tour pro Kevin Na. Na was a last-minute withdraw from last week's Sentry TOC with a broken pinky finger, a fairly significant injury for a golfer. He was originally expected to miss around a month, but has […]

Kevin Tway Plays Well In Sentry Debut

Kevin Tway overcame some tough obstacles at last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. The youngster fought through his lack of course experience and a nasty sinus infection to finish tied for 11th at Kapalua. Tway fired a beautiful bogey-free 66 on Thursday and led after the opening round. However, he failed to break 70 in […]
