Adam Scott Might Endure Tough Times at Bay Hill

Adam Scott was a feel good story last week at The Genesis Invitational. The Australian golfer had one bad round on Saturday but followed it up with a scorching 63 that vaulted him to a fourth place result. Scott has played pretty well in his four events this 2026. However, Bay Hill has been a […]


Aldrich Potgieter Extremely Risky When it Comes to Bay Hill

Aldrich Potgieter, on the surface, seems to be a decent fit when it comes to Bay Hill. The American golfer hits some long drives (325.8 yds - 3rd) and comes off a T-5 at The Genesis Invitational. Potgieter shot all four rounds in the 60's. However, he is a +15000 longshot via DraftKings to win […]


Sungjae Im to Make Season Debut at Arnold Palmer Invitational

Sungjae Im was believed to be making progress and is now ready to make his 2026 debut at Bay Hill. The South Korean golfer has not played competitive golfer since the Genesis Championship in October. It has been a series of injuries and slow recoveries stemming from a muscle strain in his right hand/wrist. Im […]


Jordan Spieth an All-or-Nothing Option at Bay Hill

Jordan Spieth is an intriguing golfer for this weekend's Arnold Palmer Invitational. The American has gained the third most amount of strokes when it comes to ball striking. Spieth has had three Top 30 results in four events in 2026. However, it can be anyone's guess how Spieth fares this week at Bay Hill. Even […]


Harry Hall Trying to Rebound After the Genesis Invitational

Harry Hall had his weekend cut short for the second time in 2026. The English golfer shot a Friday 74 at The Genesis Invitational. It was the same pattern as we saw at the WM Phoenix Open where Hall just could not make enough birdies. A big problem for Hall is that second round where […]


Ryan Gerard Needs Better Start at Bay Hill

Ryan Gerard plays well enough to contend in events. The American golfer had consecutive runner-up results in January but has had a tough time starting tournaments since. The last three began 72-72-73. While this is not terrible, Gerard has had to play catch-up too often. He now ranks 123rd on tour in putts per round […]


Jason Day Attempts to Bounce Back from The Genesis Invitational

Jason Day was enjoying a solid start to the 2026 season. The Australian golfer almost won The American Express with a runner-up result. A couple weeks ago Day missed the cut at The Genesis Invitational after a 73-74 start. Day could not get off the tees far enough accurately and the birdie opportunities just did […]


Jacob Bridgeman Rolling into Arnold Palmer Invitational

Jacob Bridgeman comes off an impressive win at The Genesis Invitational. The young American golfer has been on fire with his putter gaining a tour-leading 1.276 strokes. Furthermore, Bridgeman is gaining almost across the board on all major metrics in 2026. That includes a surprising 15th in greens in regulation at 74.17%. Bridgeman's nerves do […]


Seamus Power Seeking More Green in Florida

Seamus Power has enjoyed a solid start to the 2026 campaign. The Irish golfer has made all three cuts in the United States. Power nearly ended up inside the Top 10 at the Farmers Insurance Open (T-11). He is average to below average in most metrics but the putter has been hot. Power, overall, has […]


Haotong Li Back From a Break as Florida Stretch Starts

Haotong Li is back from a few weeks off and a missed cut at the WM Phoenix Open. The Chinese golfer was playing pretty well before then. He was in contention for The American Express (T-8) and even the Farmers Insurance Open (T-11). Li's only concern may be his putter heading into this week at […]


Stephan Jaeger Trying to Put Four Rounds Together in Florida

Stephan Jaeger has played well enough in 2026. The German golfer has made three of four cuts and even has a T-5 from the Farmers Insurance Open. Unfortunately, trends have shown a little decline the past two events. Jaeger barely made the cut at Pebble Beach a couple of weeks ago. Jaegar ranks 33rd in […]


Nico Echavarria Again Attempting to Make the Weekend

Nico Echavarria has made one cut in five events this 2026 season. The golfer from Colombia finished T-8 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Unfortunately, he has missed the cut in every other event. Even at The Genesis Invitational, Echavarria opened with a 74 and just could not recover enough. His form is slightly improving […]


Davis Thompson Struggling to Find Birdies as Florida Looms

Davis Thompson is struggling some to start 2026. The American golfer has no Top 25 results in three events. Worse, he took time off after winding up over par at the WM Phoenix Open. For a tournament that features a lot of birdies, that does not bode well for tougher events like the Cognizant Classic. […]


Tom Kim Not Quite Cutting It in 2026

Tom Kim has made all five cuts in 2026. The South Korean golfer seems to have one or two rounds that go awry in every tournament so far this year. Kim did climb up the leaderboard at The Genesis Invitational with a Saturday 67 only to follow it up with a 71. That placed the […]


Nicolai Hojgaard Wants to Build Momentum from Scottsdale

Nicolai Hojgaard believed he could win the WM Phoenix Open. The Danish golfer finished T-3 on the Scottsdale course and was a mere stroke from forcing a way into the playoff. Hojgaard has played well in the two PGA Tour events this 2026 season. He finished inside the Top 25 at the Farmers Insurance Open […]


Christiaan Bezuidenhout Returns After Extended Break for Florida Event

Christiaan Bezuidenhout took some time off after the WM Phoenix Open. The South African golfer missed the cut on the easier Scottsdale course. After a few weeks off, he takes aim at the Cognizant Classic. Going into Scottsdale, Bezuidenhout had been putting well, gaining more than three strokes combined to putting. A lot of things […]


Sepp Straka May Have Tough Time at The Genesis Invitational

Sepp Straka managed to be super consistent at Pebble Beach. The Austrian golfer shot all four rounds in the 60's en route to a T-2 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. This week at Riviera Country Club may feature a different reality. Though his betting profile trends upward to around +4000 to win (+410 for […]


Justin Rose Off Most Radars at The Genesis Invitational

Justin Rose has already won in 2026 at the Farmers Insurance Open. The English golfer followed that up with a respectable T-37 at Pebble Beach. Rose, at 45, still drives the ball over 300 yards (306.9 average in 2026). Rose has missed the cut in both appearances at Riviera. Those starts were not good and […]


Robert MacIntyre a Long Hitter to Watch at Riviera Country Club

Robert MacIntyre is an interesting golfer to watch this week at The Genesis Invitational. The Scottish golfer did have a Top 15 result (T-14) at the event in 2022. Last year was a bit different as the event was a little further south in San Diego. Anyway, MacIntyre's driving accuracy is above 60% after the […]


Min Woo Lee Attempts to Build Momentum After Pebble Beach

Min Woo Lee closed with an astonishing 65 on Sunday to tie for second at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The Australian golfer erased the blips from the final rounds of the first two events on his schedule. He played last year when The Genesis Invitational was at Torrey Pines. It will be intriguing to […]


Harry Hall an Unknown for The Genesis Invitational

Harry Hall has never played at The Genesis Invitational. The English golfer has probably practiced at Riviera Country Club but has not played it competitively. Yes, this surprises some people. Hall has enjoyed a nice beginning to 2026 with three Top 25 results in four tournaments. However, the Los Angeles area based course presents a […]


Matt Fitzpatrick Has Favorable Path to Success at Riviera This Week

Matt Fitzpatrick has enjoyed a solid start to 2026. The English golfer even has a Top 10 on his resume already (WM Phoenix Open). He managed a T-14 at Pebble Beach and closed with a final round 67 after a Saturday hiccup (70). The one concern is his putting metrics and that may be the […]


Wyndham Clark Not Likely to Contend at Genesis Invitational

Wyndham Clark started well at Pebble Beach last week. The American golfer failed to capitalize on his birdie opportunities over the weekend shooting a 71-72. That dropped Clark outside the Top 50 when all was said and done on Sunday. Clark needs to be more accurate with his driver this week. Early on in 2026, […]


Ludvig Aberg Might Find the Genesis Invitational More Challenging

Ludvig Aberg won the Genesis Invitational in 2025, but this is not Torrey Pines in San Diego. The Swedish golfer will be going up against the Riviera Country Club this time around. More than likely, a few more birdies will need to be made at the Los Angeles course. Aberg could not make putts at […]


Nick Taylor in Good Form Going into Pebble Beach Event

Nick Taylor has been playing well to start off 2026. The Canadian golfer does not have a Top 10 result but has not finished outside the Top 30 either. Pebble Beach has been much the same as far as finishes for Taylor. He does not have a single Top 10 in his previous five appearances. […]


Justin Rose Tuned in for AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Justin Rose has hit the fountain of youth. The English golfer won his 13th PGA Tour event in January at the Farmers Insurance Open. Rose started hot with a 62-65 then held on to the lead with a final round 70. Rose was a beast gaining 4,45 total strokes in that victory. He has shown […]


Maverick McNealy Playing Well with Pebble Beach Looming

Maverick McNealy has been more consistent to begin 2026. The American golfer has appeared in three events and has finished (T-24,10, T-13). McNealy performed this way often in 2025 with several runs of results similar. His best efforts were a third at the BMW Championship and runner-up at The Genesis Invitational. Tossing out the event […]


Shane Lowry Makes 2026 PGA Tour Debut at Pebble Beach

Shane Lowry starts off his 2026 PGA season in Northern California this week. The golfer from Ireland almost won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2025. He finished two strokes behind Rory McIlroy. Lowry started off really well during the first half of 2025 with two runner-up finishes. (Truist Championship in May). Later last year, […]


Michael Kim Putting Well with Pebble Beach on the Horizon

Michael Kim is excelling at one key metric, and that is putting. The American golfer has gained at least a full stroke in all three 2026 events. Kim will need a little more than that at Pebble Beach. That is because his off-the-tee numbers and approaching the green have been less than stellar. Kim has […]


Billy Horschel a Little Rattled After Consecutive Missed Cuts

Billy Horschel probably played the worst two weeks of golf in his life the previous two events. The American golfer missed the cut badly at the Farmers Insurance Open. However, he performed even more poorly at the WM Phoenix Open in Scottsdale. Starting off with a 75 was an unmitigated disaster and things do not […]
