Ben Griffin is normally solid off the driver's tee. The American golfer could not get out of his own way in Detroit, though, missing tee shots left and right. Griffin lost 1.27 shots and then missed the cut in Detroit as a result. Griffin showed he can drive the golf ball well enough and make […]

Sahith Theegala nearly finished inside the top 10 at the US Open (T11). The American golfer has largely struggled to put rounds together since then. Playing overseas at two higher birdie-friendly courses probably did not help. Since March, Theegala has been mostly average. Three of his four top-10 results came before the spring started. He […]

Maverick McNealy has one career win in 2024 at the RSM Classic. The American golfer has not finished better than 10th in any event this 2026 season. McNealy has gained an average of 0.82 strokes in the past two events when it comes to putting. Overall, he ranks 17th with 0.456 strokes gained putting. Ironically, […]

Johnny Keefer has been putting better lately. The American golfer has gained strokes in each of his last four tournaments putting-wise. Keefer has not been able to find consistency in other metrics, though. Unfortunately, his putts per round are still above 30 at 30.08 (158th). Too many times, Keefer puts himself in a bad position […]

Doug Ghim is driving the golf ball quite well (19th in strokes gained overall). The American golfer is normally quite accurate (32nd at 63.65%). The problem has been putting (29.04 putts per round and 38.89% one-putt percentage). Despite those issues, Ghim ranks sixth in scoring average at 69.15. The dilemma is do we see Ghim's […]

Austin Eckroat was not bad in Detroit last week at the Rocket Classic. The American golfer did end up just inside the Top 40 (T-38). Greensboro is a modest 7.127 yard Par-70. Driving has not been as much of an issue for Eckroat the past three tournaments. The first two rounds have been kinder to […]

Pierceson Coody missed his second straight cut at the Rocket Classic. The American golfer could not string putts together again. This has occurred in three of his previous four events overall (70-72 last week). Around the green was worse for Coody where he lost 1.07 strokes overall in Detroit. Driver accuracy has been another major […]

Blades Brown is having a nice time as a teenage golfer on the PGA Tour. The American golfer has finished inside the top 15 in four straight events, including most recently at Corales Puntacana. While Brown has not competed in too many top-tiered tournaments, he has thrived in what has been put in front of […]

Davis Thompson finished T-7 at the 3M Open last week. The American golfer struggled with his putter and around the green again for a fourth straight event. However, it did not cost him in Minnesota as it had at the US Open. Thompson can be dangerous when he puts it all together in Detroit as […]

Russell Henley did not have the best U.S. Open. The American golfer bounced back by contending at the Travelers Championship and The Open Championship. Henley wound up T-9 overseas behind an impressive 68-66 weekend. If one is wondering, Henley's putter is the key along with superior driver accuracy. The latter has been prevalent in four […]

Eric Cole enjoyed back-to-back top-10 results and looked primed for the summer. Instead, the American golfer missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open. The struggles have continued for Cole as he has finished outside the top 30 in four more events. His putter has been OK but not great. Cole has not putted like […]

Chandler Phillips has been on quite the roll since the US Open missed cut. The American golfer followed consecutive T-15 finishes with a season-best T-3 at the 3M Open. Phillips has now gone under 70 in 12 straight rounds. Phillips' biggest improvement comes via putting where he ranks 18th in strokes gained at 0.450. Last […]

Nicolai Hojgaard truly is trying to get into a rhythm. The Danish golfer missed three straight cuts, looked good in two straight events, and then missed the cut at The Open Championship. It comes down to making enough birdies and especially this week in Detroit. Detroit Golf Club is a place where the putter needs […]

Rickie Fowler has played some solid golf over the past three tournaments. The American golfer has two Top-10 results including a T-18 at The Open Championship. Fowler had been in a bit of a funk after nearly winning the Truist Championship back in May (T-2). Fowler can run hot and cold but has improved his […]

Jacob Bridgeman won The Genesis Invitational way back in February. The American golfer has not cracked the top 10 since the start of the spring despite some solid results. Bridgeman has only missed one cut in 19 events and does have nine top-25 results. This is because he is one of the best putters again […]

Akshay Bhatia took a little time off after missing the cut at The Open Championship. The American golfer has had some success at Detroit Golf Club. He finished just outside the Top 25 in 2025 and T-2 in 2024. This golf course is a Par-72 and stands at 7,370 yards. Bhatia needs to be more […]

Corey Conners has an up and down history across the pond. The Canadian golfer has had some less than ideal results but two Top 15 finishes at the Open Championship (2021 and 2025). Throwing out the results from the Genesis Scottish Open may be wise (T-52 last week). One worry is his driver accuracy (7% […]

Johnny Keefer comes off a scintillating T-3 last week at the Genesis Scottish Open. The young American golfer is only 25-years-old but shows flashes of a much more experienced golfer. In four of his previous five events, Keefer has shown plus side driver accuracy. Off the tee, he hits the ball an average of 318.3 […]

Michael Thorbjornsen played well at the Genesis Scottish Open last week. The American golfer finished T-7 and had four rounds all in the 60's. Royal Birkdale is a different course to say the least compared to the Renaissance Club. However, Thorbjornsen has a little momentum and drives well off the tee (314.1 yards - 20th) […]

J.J. Spaun needs to do something he has not done all year. The American golfer has missed every cut at a major in 2026. Worse, he has had three of his most disastrous putting efforts in 2026 (including the PGA Championship). Variance and volatility have been staples in Spaun's game throughout his career. 2026 has […]

Aaron Rai comes into the Open Championship with a wayward putter. The English golfer lost more than two strokes last week to putting at the Genesis Scottish Open. As a result, he missed the cut. Rai also suffered from a lack of length on drives (-16.6 yards below average). The 7,223-yard, Par-70 Royal Birkdale could […]

J.T. Poston was on a roll in June. The American golfer won a playoff at the Memorial Tournament. If that was not enough, Poston T-4 at the US Open. Then, the up went to down as Poston saw things go south at the Travelers Championship. After another outside the Top 50 finish at the John […]

Min Woo Lee got into a bit of a funk in June. The Australian golfer missed consecutive cuts and narrowly missed a third cut at the Travelers Championship. Lee managed to put four very good rounds together at the Genesis Scottish Open. He nearly tied Tom Kim for the lead but ended up one stroke […]

Brian Harman has made the cut 15 out of 18 times in 2026. The American golfer, however, has not had a single Top 10 result this season. His best finish was a T-11 at THE Players Championship back in March. Harman does well overseas including his 2023 triumph at Royal Liverpool. He has four Top […]

Ben Griffin took a little time off after the John Deere Classic. The American golfer has several Top 10 results in 2026 highlighted by solid finishes in the first three Majors. The T-14 at the PGA Championship and T-17 at the US Open indicate even more upside. Griffin heads to Royal Birkdale where significant chances […]

Kristoffer Reitan has made a splash in 2026. The Norwegian golfer won the Truist Championship and has four Top 10 results in 17 PGA Tour events. Reitan is a fun golfer to watch who hits 312.6 yards off the tee (26th). Despite a 58.97% accuracy, Reitan's biggest asset is gaining 0.51 strokes to driving (13th). […]

Shane Lowry usually skips the Genesis Scottish Open. The Irish golfer has two Top 10 results in 2026 and quite a few Top 30 results lately. However, he has not come close to winning an event since February (Pebble Beach and the Cognizant). Lowry was starting to gain momentum at the Travelers Championship but a […]

Si Woo Kim was pretty much in contention when disaster struck in Connecticut. The South Korean golfer ended up with a 73 in the final round which dropped him outside the Top 25 and even Top 40 (T-43). The putter failed Kim quite a bit in that final round (-0.32 strokes gained overall). Kim ranks […]

Tyrrell Hatton took several weeks off after his performance at the US Open (T7). The English golfer has played overseas while playing three majors on the PGA Tour in 2026. His showing at the Masters was an eye-opener (T3). Those two majors saw Hatton finish off really well, including a 67 at Shinnecock. It is […]

Rasmus Hojgaard needs the other parts of his game to be in form in Scotland. The Norwegian golfer took more than a month off for surgery to fix a ruptured eardrum. Hojgaard, before his hiatus, was one of the longest drivers on tour (321.4 yards - 6th). The problem is his accuracy which ranks a […]
