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 […]

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. […]
