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 […]

Viktor Hovland can put together some great rounds of golf. The Norwegian golfer finished solo third at the RBC Canadian Open but missed the cut at the US Open and PGA Championship. This week Hovland faces a less challenging TPC at River Highlands course. Scores are expected to be around -20 or so given the […]

Eric Cole found the RBC Canadian Open a bit much for his liking. The American golfer's driving accuracy was 7% off the average at TPC Toronto. Driver accuracy and distance is an issue for Cole compared to the PGA average (1 event above average in 2026). Cole's biggest asset is his putter. He ranks sixth […]

Akshay Bhatia rebounded nicely at the US Open last week on Long Island. The American golfer finished inside the Top 20 behind gaining 1.35 strokes on approach to the green. More importantly, Bhatia did end up T-5 in 2024 at the Travelers Championship. Driver accuracy is important on the TPC at River Highlands course in […]

Shane Lowry roared out of the gates in 2026. The Irish golfer had a T-8 at Pebble Beach then nearly won later in February at the Cognizant Classic (T-2). Since then, most of Lowry's results have been in the 20's and 30's. Those are solid numbers but not spectacular. Lowry, across the board, performs well […]

Ben James turned pro before the RBC Canadian Open. The American golfer had quite an adventure blending highs, lows and a good deal of average golf. He made the cut, shot an incredible 63 on Friday, but watched the wheels fall off Saturday. The third-round 78 was rough to watch but again the 23-year-old was […]

J.J. Spaun returns to the US Open. The American golfer enjoyed his finest moment at Oakmont. Spaun held off Robert MacIntyre to win by two strokes after a Sunday Front 9 that would scare anyone. The golfer survived and made putts and approaches late in that final round. Spaun has an early advantage in that […]

Ben Griffin probably did not want to talk about the Memorial. The American golfer left early after a 74-77 on the course that Jack built. One of the big issues for Griffin was putting. He lost 1.67 strokes to putting and missed several easier putts as well. Two red flags about Shinnecock are obvious. Griffin's […]

Ryan Gerard nearly won at the Memorial early in June. The American golfer lost in a playoff to JT Poston. Gerard gained four strokes on Poston to force hole number 73. It has been quite a season for the golfer as Gerard has made the cut in 15 of 17 events. The US Open is […]

Rickie Fowler will enjoy an early tee time at the US Open. The American golfer tees off on Thursday at 7:41 am ET. Fowler may have to turn back the clock to 2018 where he netted a Top 20. What the golfer did was to scale back his swing a little. This impacted his accuracy […]

Jason Day comes off a misstep at the Memorial. The Australian golfer missed the cut after a 74-76 performance. Day started off the year well and was in contention at the Masters until a Sunday 75. He has missed several US Open cuts including 2018 at Shinnecock. While Day has gained 0.213 strokes to putting […]

Pierceson Coody will be facing a beast of a golf course at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. The American golfer is facing a course that in 2018 saw no golfer break par. Brooks Koepka survived at +1 to win the event. 2026 features an even more diabolical setup. Nevermind the 7,440 yard length and the wind […]

Daniel Berger has had a solid 2026. The American golfer, however, has not performed well in the Majors. He missed the cut at the Masters. Add in that 81 at the Memorial a couple weeks ago and the concerns mount. Berger started off with a 74 at the PGA Championship and errant shots could plague […]

Max McGreevy has not had an easy time in 2026. The American golfer had several solid results in 2025 including back-to-back Top 3 results to end the season. However, McGreevy has not putted well all year. He ranks 155th in strokes gained to putting (-0.584). The numbers get worse from there as the golfer's one-putt […]

Tom Kim has not seen the results over the past two seasons. The South Korean golfer is still young but making weekends has been Kim's only real success in 2026 (11 of 13). His only Top 10 of the season was at Myrtle Beach (T-6), which is not exactly a top-tier event. The RBC Canadian […]

Joe Highsmith has endured a rough 2026. The American golfer has not finished inside the Top 25 all season. Worse, Highsmith has missed three straight cuts. Numbers have tilted worse from an approach standpoint during this span. Greens in regulation has dropped to a hideous 60.53% (153rd). Scoring average for Highsmith has dropped to 71.53 […]

Adam Hadwin has been mostly playing PGA second tier events in 2026. The Canadian golfer missed the cut at The CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Worse, it was his fifth tournament where he dropped two or more strokes gained. The last couple of seasons have been an extreme struggle for Hadwin. Driving distance has been in […]

Ryan Fox has been here before. The New Zealand golfer stepped up in Toronto last year and defeated Sam Burns in a playoff. That gave Fox his second career victory on the PGA Tour. He is a long hitter who ranks 24th in driving distance. For Fox, the question marks are landing safely on the […]
