Ben Kohles has been a different golfer since the middle of June. The American golfer has eight consecutive Top 30 results including a T-15 at the Biltmore Championship. Only a final round 73 kept Kohles out of the Top 10. The question is can the veteran put together four rounds of high-birdie golf? Kohles needs […]

Rasmus Hojgaard only played one round in Asheville. The Norwegian golfer ended up with a 78 and withdrew before the second round at the Biltmore Championship. Hojgaard lost 8.92 strokes in a mere 18 holes. Little went right as even driving distance was right around average (0.6 yards above). Combine that with being 11% below […]

Davis Thompson got into a rhythm in late July and August. The American golfer had three straight Top 15 results along with 11 consecutive rounds in the 60's. Thompson struggled in Asheville with a second-round 75 that caused him to miss the cut. After almost six weeks off, the golfer was expected to have a […]

Chris Kirk has seen some periods of much struggle in 2026. The American golfer missed three straight cuts but does have two Top 10 results in his previous three events. That included a T-10 at the Biltmore Championship. One of the bigger keys in Utah is setting up chances to make putts and Kirk can […]

Tony Finau was one of the best golfers in the world just three or four years ago. The American golfer came off back-to-back seasons where he won twice. 2026 has seen worse and worse results since that lone Top 10 in May (T-6 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson). His last tournament in Asheville was […]

Pierceson Coody was having a disastrous time at the Biltmore Championship. The American golfer from Texas turned the tables with a final round 65. It was Coody's best round of golf in over four months. He did have a 2025 best T-3 at last year's event in Utah. Coody improved some putting but the strokes […]

Adam Scott will be playing in his 12th Presidents Cup at the age of 46. The Australian golfer had qualified in 10 of his previous 11 appearances. Behind a very good 2026 season on the PGA Tour, Scott qualified yet again for the event at Medinah Country Club. Scott did not win in 2026 but […]

Patrick Cantlay may not have had the best 2026 on the golf course. The American golfer, however, was picked for the 2026 Presidents Cup on the strength of his 10-4 overall record at the event. Cantlay, most notably, went 4-1 at Royal Montreal in 2024 as Team USA won for the 10th time (18.5 to […]

Russell Henley was picked to compete in his first Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal in 2024. The American golfer qualified for the event at Medinah Country Club with an excellent 2026. Henley won a playoff at the Charles Schwab Challenge in May, had six Top 10 results, and had five Top 20 results over his […]

Collin Morikawa navigated a solid 2026 that saw him win at Pebble Beach and finish back up near the top 10 in the World Rankings. The American golfer had seven Top 10 results and heads into the Presidents Cup at Medinah ready to make an impact. His 6-2 record at the Presidents Cup includes excelling […]

Ryan Fox did just enough to make it to the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The golfer from New Zealand finished T-47 last week at the BMW Championship. This allowed Fox to secure the 30th and final spot. The 39-year-old rode one incredible Saturday at the Open Championship to glory. Since […]

Adam Scott did enough to make the TOUR Championship in 2026. The Australian golfer, now 46, had three Top 10 results and has found ways to stay in contention. Scott has three consecutive Top 20 results buoyed by solid final rounds (including a 67 at the BMW Championship). Putter volatility is a huge concern for […]

Alex Fitzpatrick made the splash at the right time when he won in New Orleans with older brother Matt. The English golfer made his presence felt when he contended in the two tournaments after (a fourth at the Truist Championship). He expected some bumps and so far the PGA Playoff has been a thud with […]

Kristoffer Reitan realized the PGA Playoffs are truly different. The Norwegian golfer made some adjustments at the BMW Championship. A T-22 result is much better than what occurred at the FedEx St. Jude Championship (T-58). Reitan's lone PGA win came at Quail Hollow in May and top results have been harder to come by. Reitan […]

Hideki Matsuyama was enjoying a nice run over the summer and then the BMW Championship happened. The Japanese golfer stumbled out to a 72 on Thursday and never fully recovered until Sunday's 67. Matsuyama and Atlanta have not gotten along often and last year's 29th may have been the low point. He lost 1.52 strokes […]

Xander Schauffele may not be having the greatest 2026 season, but Atlanta is a solid course for him. The American golfer has quite a few top-five results at East Lake Golf Club. That includes several runner-ups (2019,2020, and 2023) plus the 2017 title. Regardless of the format, Schauffele excels on this long par-71 course (7,346 […]

Sam Burns did not have the best start or finish at the BMW Championship last week. The American golfer bookended two rounds of 71 which kept him from being a factor. He has played better at the TOUR Championship with three consecutive Top 12 results. Burns was in contention in three of the four majors […]

Cameron Young has enjoyed a fantastic 2026 season. The American golfer has won twice and sits third in the World Golf Rankings. However, the past few events have seen Young miss some putts he normally would make. The BMW Championship saw him lose 1.2 strokes to putting and he was 10% off with driver accuracy […]

Adam Scott will advance to the Tour Championship (27th in points). The Australian golfer merely has to play steady golf and make some putts. Scott did this last week in Memphis and nearly ended up inside the top 10 (T-12). Scott's putter kept him in the event despite driving the ball 13.3 yards off the […]

Ryan Fox won the Open Championship in July. The golfer from New Zealand felt the heat from the start at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Fox opened with back-to-back rounds of 73. By the time he recovered on Sunday (67), it was far too late. Fox had a similar time at the Travelers Championship late […]

Akshay Bhatia started 2026 struggling mightily in several facets. The American golfer enters the BMW Championship oddly in the same position. Bhatia missed the cut in two events including the Rocket Classic. Last week, Bhatia never ended up below par and imploded on Sunday with a 76. Wayward shots on Sunday were one thing but […]

Kristoffer Reitan learned a painful lesson last week in Memphis. The Norwegian golfer never got in a rhythm after an opening round 72. The result illustrated the ups and downs of Reitan as he experiences higher and higher level golf. His accuracy and distance with the driver was around field average in Memphis and maybe […]

Hideki Matsuyama looked a little out of sorts in Memphis. The Japanese golfer did just enough to secure his fourth straight Top 7 result and sixth consecutive Top 15 effort. He survived on Sunday despite some shaky moments around the green and with the putter. Overall, he lost 0.37 strokes to putting. Matsuyama created plenty […]

Ludwig Aberg picked the wrong time to have a bad third round last week. The Swedish golfer ended up with a 74 while other golfers surged on "moving day". He did bounce back with a 67 on Sunday to sneak back into the Top 10 (T-7). The FedEx St. Jude Championship may not have been […]

Wyndham Clark bounced back enough to net a top-five result at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. The American golfer ended up with a solid 68 on Sunday to cement his position. A big key at the BMW Championship could be driver accuracy (Clark ranks 123rd at 56.89%). He has been 10% or worse off compared […]

Si Woo Kim was one of the few golfers who stood firm on Sunday. The Korean golfer stayed under par and rose to second place via a 68. Kim has a whopping 11 Top 10 results this 2026 season. One of the biggest reasons for his success is keeping the ball in play. His driver […]

Min Woo Lee took a few weeks off after the Open Championship. The Australian golfer followed up a runner-up at the Genesis Scottish Open with a less-than-stellar Major (T-59). Lee is inside the Top 20 in the FedEx Cup rankings so there is less pressure to advance. Points carry over from the regular season at […]

Max Homa has only played five events since the end of May in 2026. The American golfer did play four times in July including an impressive runner-up result at the John Deere Classic. That was enough to pretty much clinch a playoff spot. However, Homa is now on the bubble with only the Top 50 […]

Jordan Smith appeared out of the playoffs after missing the cut at the RBC Canadian Open. The English golfer went back overseas and found his form. Five straight Top 40 results including a T-14 at the Wyndham Championship clinched a playoff spot. The concern with Smith is he has one Top 10 result in 2026. […]

Michael Kim knows his margin for error is very low. The American golfer, at a minimum, needs to finish in a three-way tie for 12th to have a chance at advancing from Memphis. Given the level of this field, that will be a challenge. Kim has three Top 10 results in 2026. He did have […]
