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 […]

Ben Griffin could not have picked a worse time for the putter to abandon him. The American golfer thankfully does not have to worry about the cut this week. This is the first real bad stretch of golf from Griffin since March where he missed three straight cuts. Only 50 golfers advance and Griffin should […]

Rickie Fowler has stayed inside the top 50 in the FedEx Cup rankings. The American golfer has enjoyed a great 2026, complete with five top-10 results. That includes a T8 at the Rocket Classic despite a final-round 70. TPC Southwind in Memphis comes in at 7,220 yards (par 70). Fowler may not drive the ball […]

Corey Conners was outside the top 70 during the month of June. The Canadian golfer netted four top-25 results after missing the cut at the RBC Canadian Open. Conners finished T7 at the Travelers Championship after a closing 63. For the golfer to advance, he is going to need a strong result at a minimum […]

Ludvig Aberg has done everything but win in 2026. The Swedish golfer did rank 10th in regular season FedEx Cup points via seven Top 10 results. In 17 events, Aberg finished inside the Top 25 11 times. Aberg has two career PGA Tour victories. He came so close to winning both the FedEx St. Jude […]

Ben Griffin is normally solid off the driver's tee. The American golfer could not get out of his own way in Detroit, though, missing tee shots left and right. Griffin lost 1.27 shots and then missed the cut in Detroit as a result. Griffin showed he can drive the golf ball well enough and make […]

Sahith Theegala nearly finished inside the top 10 at the US Open (T11). The American golfer has largely struggled to put rounds together since then. Playing overseas at two higher birdie-friendly courses probably did not help. Since March, Theegala has been mostly average. Three of his four top-10 results came before the spring started. He […]

Maverick McNealy has one career win in 2024 at the RSM Classic. The American golfer has not finished better than 10th in any event this 2026 season. McNealy has gained an average of 0.82 strokes in the past two events when it comes to putting. Overall, he ranks 17th with 0.456 strokes gained putting. Ironically, […]

Johnny Keefer has been putting better lately. The American golfer has gained strokes in each of his last four tournaments putting-wise. Keefer has not been able to find consistency in other metrics, though. Unfortunately, his putts per round are still above 30 at 30.08 (158th). Too many times, Keefer puts himself in a bad position […]

Doug Ghim is driving the golf ball quite well (19th in strokes gained overall). The American golfer is normally quite accurate (32nd at 63.65%). The problem has been putting (29.04 putts per round and 38.89% one-putt percentage). Despite those issues, Ghim ranks sixth in scoring average at 69.15. The dilemma is do we see Ghim's […]

Austin Eckroat was not bad in Detroit last week at the Rocket Classic. The American golfer did end up just inside the Top 40 (T-38). Greensboro is a modest 7.127 yard Par-70. Driving has not been as much of an issue for Eckroat the past three tournaments. The first two rounds have been kinder to […]
