Dustin Johnson Not Worth the Risk at BMW Championship

Something has been off with Dustin Johnson all year. He won on the European Tour in January, but since then, he has not recorded a top-five in the last eight months. There have been reasons for optimism at certain points throughout the season, but they have always been followed by disappointment. The two-time major winner […]

Mackenzie Hughes Needs a Hot Putter to Contend at Liberty National

Mackenzie Hughes is never going to rate out well from a statistical standpoint. Over his last 36 rounds, the Canadian ranks towards the very bottom of this field in strokes gained off the tee, strokes gained approach, and proximity from 175-200 yards. There is not a single ball-striking category that Hughes is better than field […]

Erik Van Rooyen a Risky Option at Northern Trust

There have definitely been some positive signs out of Erik Van Rooyen recently. Not only did he win the Barracuda Championship, but followed it up with a 37th-place finish at the Wyndham Championship where he gained 3.6 strokes on approach. Van Rooyen's irons have been terrible this season, so it is definitely a good sign […]

Matt Kuchar Should Not be Considered at Liberty National

While Matt Kuchar's 29th-place finish last week at the Wyndham Championship was enough to keep his season alive, he is up against a much sterner test this week. The nine-time PGA Tour winner has experienced some success this season on shorter, easier courses, such as Sedgefield and Harbour Town, but he might find himself in […]

Marc Leishman a Volatile Option With Some Upside at Northern Trust

There are certainly some things to like about Marc Leishman. Over his last 36 rounds, he ranks fifth in this field in proximity from 200 yards plus, and 35% of approach shots at Liberty National come from over 200 yards. With that being said, Leishman only has one top-20 finish in the last three months, […]

Viktor Hovland Sets up Well for Liberty National

Viktor Hovland has never played Liberty National before, but he certainly possesses the skill-set that I am looking for here. Over his last 36 rounds, the two-time PGA Tour winner ranks fifth in proximity from 175-200 yards, sixth in proximity from 175-200 yards, and ninth in proximity from 200 yards plus. Hovland is actually the […]

Kevin Kisner Coming off an Impressive Win

Kevin Kisner certainly proved me wrong last week with a win at the Wyndham Championship, and I'm dubious suggest that he should be faded in this spot either. While Sedgefield Country Club is certainly a better course for Kisner than Liberty National is, the four-time PGA Tour winner has finished 12th here in 2019, and […]

Cameron Smith May Be Too Reliant on Putter to Consider at Liberty National

While Cameron Smith is coming off a fifth-place finish in his last start at the WGC- FedEx St. Jude Invitational, the only reason he was in the mix was because he gained 9.7 strokes short game and putting. While it's hard to call that a spike putting week for Smith, who is one of the […]

Joaquin Niemann May Find Himself in Trouble at Liberty National

Joaquin Niemann is an extremely talented player, but I tend to prefer him on easier courses where birdies are the currency and there is a de-emphasis on short game. While the young Chilean is an excellent iron player, my concern is that he will have to rely too much on his short game if his […]

Jordan Spieth Looks to Continue Strong Play at Liberty National

Jordan Spieth has nice some experience at Liberty National. The three-time major champion finished 19th here in 2013, sixth in 2019, and he played extremely well in the 2017 Presidents Cup that was also held at Liberty National. My biggest concern with Spieth is that his ball-striking did regress significantly during his last start at […]

Tyrrell Hatton Poised for a Strong Performance at Northern Trust

While Tyrrell Hatton has certainly had an underwhelming season on the PGA Tour by his standards, there is reason to believe that he could find success at Liberty National. Over his last 36 rounds, the Englishman is number two in this field in proximity from 200 yards plus. 35% of Liberty National's approach shots can […]

Adam Scott Looking for Second Victory at Liberty National

Adam Scott has some phenomenal history at Liberty National, with a win in 2013 and a fifth-place finish in 2019. While the Australian has had an extremely disappointing season by his standards, last week's playoff loss was at the Wyndham Championship was still very encouraging. The former Masters champion missed an easy putt to win […]

Sungjae Im Is a Great Pivot Play At the Northern Trust

While most fantasy managers think to only deploy Sungjae Im on short Bermuda-grass courses, or in the state of Florida, I do not think he should be overlooked this week. The former Honda Classic winner is coming off a performance at the Wyndham Championship where he gained 4.6 strokes on approach and 3.2 strokes off […]

Gary Woodland Is Hard to Trust at Northern Trust

While Gary Woodland does own a runner-up finish at Liberty National from the 2013 Northern Trust, the former U.S. Open champion currently does not have his best stuff. Woodland is coming off a missed cut at the Wyndham Championship where he lost 0.6 strokes on approach, and 1.7 strokes off the tee. This was the […]

Mito Pereira Looks to Build on Hot Start to PGA Tour Career

Mito Pereira has come out of the gates firing. In five PGA Tour starts since the start of July, the young Chilean has already recorded two top-10s, and that isn't even including a fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics Men's Golf Competition. While Pereira faltered last week with a 39th-place finish at the Barracuda Championship, […]

Louis Oosthuizen Might Be Running out of Steam

Over the last eight months, Louis Oosthuizen has been on an absolute tear. Over his last 12 starts, the South African has 11 top-30 finishes, six top-10 finishes, and three runner-up finishes, with two of those coming at major championships. My only issue with Oosthuizen is that his ball-striking got progressively worse during the WGC- […]

Mackenzie Hughes is a Risky Option at the Wyndham

While a 15th-place finish at the U.S. Open and a sixth-place finish at the Open are extremely impressive results, I still have my concerns about Mackenzie Hughes. Over his last 36 rounds, the Canadian ranks nearly dead last in the field in the field in that key proximity distance of 150-175 yards. Hughes also ranks […]

Robert MacIntyre a Decent Leverage Play at Wyndham Championship

Robert MacIntyre is coming off an impressive 15th-place finish at last week's WGC- FedEx St. Jude Invitational. The big-hitting lefty gained 1.9 strokes off the tee, 0.8 strokes on approach, and 2.8 strokes putting. While there is nothing about Sedgefield Country Club that screams Robert MacIntyre, the McNeese State product deserves a look based on […]

Erik Van Rooyen Looks to Stay Hot in Greensboro

Erik Van Rooyen is coming off a win last week at the Barracuda Championship. With that being said, fantasy managers should expect an exhale from the South African. Van Rooyen has never played the Wyndham Championship before, and he tends to struggle on shorter, approach courses. The two-time world-wide winner's biggest weapon is his driver, […]

Will Zalatoris Looks to Build Momentum from Memphis

After a very disappointing stretch that consisted of a 59th, a 77th, a missed cut, and a withdrawal in the span of four starts, Will Zalatoris finally showed signs of life at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Classic. The former Wake Forest product gained strokes in all four major categories, including +3.9 with the putter. Last […]

Lucas Glover Trending in the Wrong Direction After Win

Lucas Glover broke through just a month ago at the John Deere Classic, but in his two following starts, he missed the cut and finished 57th. Glover's numbers were particularly concerning at the WGC- FedEx St. Jude's Classic. Normally a sound ball-striking, the former U.S. Open champion lost 4.9 strokes off the tee and 1.6 […]

Kevin Kisner Fits Well at Sedgefield, but Irons Are a Concern

In five appearances at Sedgefield, Kevin Kisner has three top tens, including a third-place finish last year. This is undoubtedly a great course for Kevin Kisner. Over his last 24 rounds, he ranks 15th in strokes gained putting on Bermuda-grass greens and sixth in average strokes gained per round on Donald Ross courses. The issue […]

Joel Dahmen a Nice Sleeper at Sedgefield

Joel Dahmen certainly makes some sense this week. He is coming off a seventh-place finish at the Barracuda Championship, and he has sustained a run of respectable ball-striking over the last few weeks. Over his last 36 rounds, the University of Washington product ranks 20th in opportunities gained, 22nd in birdies or better gained, and […]

Tommy Fleetwood Has the Motivation, but There's No Evidence He Can Deliver

It doesn't feel like there is a lot to talk about with Tommy Fleetwood. Once a legitimate threat in major championships, the Englishman has been a non-factor on the PGA Tour for the better part of the last two years. Over his last 36 rounds, the Englishman ranks 100th in strokes gained off the tee, […]

Adam Scott Needs to Play Well This Week to Keep Season Alive

Sitting at 123rd in the FedEx Cup standings, Adam Scott needs to play well this week to qualify for the first of the leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs. While Scott has made 10 of 11 cuts this season, the upside just hasn't been there. The former Masters champion has only recorded one top-ten finish […]

Webb Simpson is the Ultimate Horse for the Course at Sedgefield

In Webb Simpson's last ten starts at Sedgefield Country Club, the Wake Forest product has recorded nine top-25s, seven top-sixes, and a win. Over his last 24 rounds, he ranks first in average strokes gained per round at Sedgefield, fourth in average strokes gained per round at Donald Ross courses, 10th in average strokes gained […]
