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 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 […]

Chris WasselRasmus Hojgaard Needs to Play Better at Torrey Pines
Rasmus Hojgaard has found glory five times internationally. The Danish golfer has not done so on the PGA Tour.

Chris WasselChristiaan Bezuidenhout Could Struggle at Farmers Insurance Open
Christiaan Bezuidenhout played well last week. The South African golfer finished outside the Top 30 but was in the 60's for all four rounds. It becomes tough when all these crazy birdie numbers pop up. He bookended 68's sandwiched by a 67 and 69. Torrey Pines may be different. Bezuidenhout missed the cut in 2024 […]
Chris WasselKevin Roy Has Some Confidence Heading to Southern California
Kevin Roy played well last week at the Sony Open. The American golfer finished T-13 and carries some confidence heading into The American Express.

Chris WasselMax Homa Needs a Better Start for 2026
Max Homa fell off in a big way in 2025. The American golfer has won on the PGA Tour six times. However, 2025 saw just five Top 25 results and a slew of missed cuts from February into April. Five consecutive events featured opening rounds that were brutal (the 81 at the Arnold Palmer included). […]

Chris WasselEric Cole Tries to Rebound at The American Express
Eric Cole had one of those short weeks in Hawaii. The American golfer was erratic off the tee and with the putter last week. As a result, he missed the cut while losing more than two strokes combined from putting and driving. His distance and accuracy were off as he was 12 and 9% off […]
Chris WasselBrian Campbell Desperate to Bounce Back from Hawaii
Brian Campbell did not enjoy the trade winds in Hawaii. The American golfer missed the cut at the Sony Open. His second round 67 was much better but it was not enough to undo the damage of an opening 74. Even with fewer birdies being yielded at Waialae, Campbell just could not crack through and […]
Chris WasselDaniel Berger Looking to Roll Again at American Express
Daniel Berger took advantage of a somewhat stacked field at the Sony Open to finish inside the top 10.

Berger drove the ball 7% better than average, and he gained more strokes on approach (0.97) than putting (0.88). […]
Chris WasselGary Woodland Could Prosper at the Sony Open
Gary Woodland always seems to produce positive numbers. The American golfer only had one Top 10 result in 2025 but was T-16 at last year's Sony Open. He did have three straight Top 25 finishes to start off 2025. One of the big reasons was his ability to hit off the tee. Overall, he ranked […]
Chris WasselKeith Mitchell Unlikely to Contend at Sony Open
Keith Mitchell often lingers around contending at events like the Sony Open. However, the American golfer finished 30th in 2025. The worst thing probably was the time off after the Grant Thornton Invitational. Mitchell had fired eight straight rounds in the 60's and his form was solid. Now, he has to start all over again […]
Chris WasselRobert MacIntyre Looking for a Good Performance at the Sony Open
Robert MacIntyre came close several times to winning in 2025. The golfer from Scotland finished inside the Top 10 six times on the PGA Tour.

Chris WasselTom Hoge Tries to Erase Poor 2025 Second Half in Hawaii
Tom Hoge had three top-10 results in the first half of 2025. The American golfer had a chance to win the Valero Texas Open until a 76 dropped him to a T5. It was his most balanced performance of 2025. Again, his second half was littered with misfortune. He missed all three cuts in July […]
Chris WasselBrian Harman Seeks Fresh Start in Hawaii
Brian Harman did not get off to the best start in 2025. The American golfer started with a 75-74 at The Sentry. Thankfully, that event was canceled for this season. Harman ended up at the Valero in April and made 20 of 24 cuts in 2025. At the Sony Open, he was around the top […]
