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 […]

Ryan Gerard did not excel with putting in 2025. The young American golfer has gained 0.337 strokes to putting overall (31st). Gerard ranked 154th in this metric last year as he was getting used to the rigors of the PGA Tour. Gerard was well outside the Top 50 at the Genesis Scottish Open in 2025. […]

Alex Fitzpatrick started in April on the PGA Tour this year. The English golfer has five Top 10 finishes already including winning the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The younger Fitzpatrick is only 27 but he is showing the potential to win big events and maybe even a major. Some of the early numbers are […]

Dan Brown has struggled mightily in his last two tournaments. The English golfer faces the Genesis Scottish Open this week. Renaissance Club is a modesty long 7.237 yard Par-70 course. Brown only averages 299.3 yards (118th) but has a decent 60.12% driver accuracy. Brown finished outside the Top 50 at this event in 2025. The […]

Tom Hoge is almost capable of anything this week at the John Deere Classic. The American golfer has made 14 of 20 cuts and has three Top 10 results in 2026. However, he has been up and down after a rough Winter stretch. There is the dilemma with Hoge. Overall, the numbers are not good […]

Sudarshan Yellamaraju may be one to watch this week at the John Deere Classic. The Canadian golfer is only 24 but has three Top 10 results on tour. Yes, his game is raw attires but he finds ways out of trouble, drives the ball well, and has potential at times with the putter. He drives […]

Pierceson Coody only has two top-10 results in 2026. The American golfer has been fairly consistent with 10 top-25 finishes in 18 events. He could thrive at the John Deere Classic this week, as Coody gets off the tee well and ranks 35th in strokes gained putting (0.303). He is driving the ball 317.5 yards […]

Taylor Pendrith can make cuts (13 out of 18) and drive the ball well enough (25th in driving distance). The Canadian golfer even has a ranking around the average (93rd in the Official World Golf Rankings). Pendrith averages more than 30 putts per round over the first two days of an event. It has not […]

Haotong Li keeps struggling on the PGA Tour in 2026. The Chinese golfer has only made seven of 16 cuts this season. Worse, he only has a couple of Top 25 results and then laid an egg with a 79 during Round 3 of the RBC Canadian Open. That tossed him far out of contention. […]

Max Homa has posted back-to-back top-25 results. The American golfer then took some time off to recharge his batteries heading into July. Homa did wind up with a T5 last year as fewer birdies were made. Will conditions cause scores to go up? That is the biggest question. If it does, Homa may have problems […]

Nico Echavarria opened up with a very good round of 64 on Thursday. The Colombian golfer could not generate much movement under par over the weekend. Consecutive rounds of 68 helped Echavarria tread water but finished outside the Top 25 for a third consecutive event. Since the Cognizant Classic win in early March, the golfer […]

Daniel Berger did not start well in Connecticut. The American golfer opened with a 70 on Thursday which put him a little too far behind the leaders. Despite that, Berger managed a 67-65-66 the rest of the way to get into the Top 25 (T-25). He finished nine strokes off the lead. Berger's inconsistent putting […]

Jordan Spieth has seen the month of June and has not liked it. The American golfer missed the cut at the Memorial and then missed a ton of putts over the weekend at the U.S. Open. The greens at Shinnecock were rough at times, but Spieth's problem is that one part of his game always […]

Adam Scott is not quite having the same season as last year. The golfer from Australia is still getting his fair share of results (two Top 5's). Shinnecock was an adventure for everyone as Scott missed the cut. However, the Memorial showed off his ability as he finished T-12. His drive and approach combined are […]

Kristoffer Reitan has won once in 2026. The Norwegian golfer putted lights out at the Truist Championship gaining 1.43 strokes. However, aside from the T-6 at the Memorial, Reitan has struggled some recently including missing the cut at the US Open and barely getting to the weekend up in Canada (T-60). Can Reitan put together […]

Sahith Theegala played well at the US Open, but his putter was a weakness. The American golfer lost 0.55 strokes to the average and missed several key putts that might have placed him easily inside the top 10. Unlike Shinnecock, the TPC at River Highlands has far more birdie-making opportunities. Theegala's birdie-or-better conversion percentage has […]

Maverick McNealy has not had a result of ninth or better in 2026. The American golfer, however, has finished inside the Top 40 in 10 consecutive tournaments. His 56.4% driving accuracy only ranks 117th and that is a bit of a red flag. McNealy has been at or below driver accuracy average in seven straight […]
