Chris WasselHaotong 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 […]
Chris WasselStephan 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 […]
Chris WasselNico 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 […]
Chris WasselDavis 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. […]
Chris WasselTom 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 […]

Chris WasselChristiaan 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.

Chris WasselSepp 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.

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. 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 […]
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).

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. Berger is capable of performances like that, too. Look to his final round 64 at the Sony Open in January. […]
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. His third round 68 was not enough to play on Sunday but did show a little improvement. Last year, Straka started slow and built up to […]
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.
