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 […]
Chris WasselJustin 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 […]
Chris WasselRobert 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 […]
Chris WasselMin 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.

It will be intriguing to […]
Chris WasselHarry 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 […]
Chris WasselMatt 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 […]
Chris WasselWyndham 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, […]
Chris WasselLudvig 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 […]
Chris WasselNick 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. […]
Chris WasselJustin 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 […]
Chris WasselMaverick 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 […]
Chris WasselShane 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.

Chris WasselMichael 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 […]
Chris WasselBilly 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 […]
Chris WasselBen Griffin Solid But Not Spectacular Early in 2026
Ben Griffin ranks ninth in the world in the official world golf rankings. The American golfer has three Top 30 results this 2026 season. However, there is not one event where you can say Griffin has truly contended. At Scottsdale, especially, Griffin just could not make enough putts to be a factor in the event. […]
Chris WasselWyndham Clark Has Question Marks Heading to Pebble Beach
Wyndham Clark has not looked the same as two years ago. The American golfer had an up and down 2025. Worse, Clark's one victory at Pebble Beach is overshadowed by two appearances where he barely made the cut and finished outside the Top 60. Clark has not looked great in 2026. He faltered at The […]
Chris WasselDaniel Berger Heating Up at the Right Time for Pebble Beach
Daniel Berger showed some weakness on Friday and Saturday in Scottsdale. The American golfer missed shots and putts he normally would not. The result was back-to-back rounds of 71. Berger roared back on Sunday with nothing to lose and he ended up with a 65 vaulting him inside the Top 20. The AT&T Pebble Beach […]
Chris WasselDaniel Berger Has the Tools to Go One Step Higher at Scottsdale
When Daniel Berger gets his putter rolling, it is a beautiful thing to watch. The American golfer finished T2 at the WM Phoenix Open, seven strokes behind Thomas Detry, who was on fire all week.

Chris WasselJake Knapp Wants Revenge at WM Phoenix Open
Jake Knapp is playing the golf of his life right now. The American golfer contended in both 2026 appearances and netted a Top 5 at the Farmers Insurance Open. Knapp started off well last year at Scottsdale with a 67 but the middle rounds proved costly as he only gained one stroke to par. In […]
Chris WasselCorey Conners Unlikely to Contend at Scottsdale
Corey Conners has not played poorly at the WM Phoenix Open. However, the Canadian golfer has not finished inside the Top 15 in his previous five appearances. Conners' best result came back in 2021 (T-17). Last year, he opened with a 67 then watched things snowball the wrong way. A 73-76 weekend dropped him all […]
Chris WasselSepp Straka Seeks a Rebound After The American Express
Sepp Straka got his 2026 season started with a lackluster performance at The American Express. The Austrian golfer saw plenty of rust two weeks ago via a 72-74 start.

Chris WasselJordan Spieth Healthy Heading to WM Phoenix Open
Jordan Spieth has not won a PGA Tour event in four years. The American golfer has battled a litany of issues and injuries over the past several seasons.

Chris WasselKeith Mitchell Building Momentum for Event in Scottsdale
Keith Mitchell has been improving each week as the WM Phoenix Open looms. The American golfer nearly climbed into the Top 10 last week at the Farmers Insurance Open (T-11).

Tom Hoge has truly been up and down in more ways than one to start of 2026. The American golfer has won once on the PGA Tour. His WM Phoenix Open results over the last five years is literally its own roller coaster. He has altered missed cuts with Top 20 results. A logical pattern […]
Chris WasselRickie Fowler Worth a Look at WM Phoenix Open
Rickie Fowler brings the fans and loves the atmosphere at the WM Phoenix Open. The American golfer is capable of contending but the last five appearances have left fans wanting more.

Chris WasselSahith Theegala Off to Much Better 2026 Start
Sahith Theegala wanted to put 2025 behind him and for good reason. The American golfer made 17 of 23 cuts but had zero Top 10 finishes and only was inside the Top 25 twice. Theegala missed two months and a little more due to injury. His form got wrecked and yet, he never truly looked […]
Chris WasselGary Woodland an Intriguing Option at Torrey Pines This Week
Gary Woodland has been driving the ball well in 2026. The American golfer ranks second early on in driving distance at a whopping average of 327.1 yards. Again, it is early.

Chris WasselMatthieu Pavon Seeks to Return to 2024 Form at Torrey Pines
Matthieu Pavon was the 2024 winner of the Farmers Insurance Open. The French golfer played 26 PGA events in 2025 and managed not to finish inside the Top 25 once. That is correct. Even after a two month break, Pavon missed two cuts in four Fall events. As a result, Pavon dropped further to 260 […]
