Sepp Straka Tough To Count Out At St. Jude Championship

Sepp Straka opens up at the FedEx St. Jude Championship with a real chance to contend and win. The Austrian golfer is familiar with the TPC Southwind course.

Si Woo Kim Getting Ready For Playoffs

Si Woo Kim ranks 36th in the FedEx Cup Standings. The South Korean golfer is getting ready this week in North Carolina. Kim has only missed one cut all season (PGA Championship).

Andrew Putnam On Outside Of Playoff Bubble

Andrew Putnam comes into the Wyndham Championship ranked 73rd in the FedEx Cup Standings. 71st will qualify the American golfer into the playoffs.

Zach Johnson Still Playing Well At 48

Thorbjorn Olesen Could Be One To Watch At Sedgefield

Thorbjorn Olesen is coming off an impressive top-15 finish at the Olympics last week in Paris. The Danish golfer has made the cut in six of his last seven tournaments (Olympics had no cut).

Nicolas Echavarria Could Surprise At The Olympics

Nicolas Echavarria has a few good results in 2024. The Colombian golfer has a Top 10 at the Zurich Classic and has shown the ability to make some birdies. Without the specter of the cut line, Echavarria carries a little more potential than normal. He can implode mightily like at the Valero (82-77), but the […]

Marty Dou Could Find The Albatross Too Tough

Marty Dou has not enjoyed the best 2024 season. In eight PGA events, the Chinese golfer has missed five cuts. Worse, Dou has a difficult time keeping his drives in the fairway (58.99% accuracy). His scoring average of 70.00 is okay. Unfortunately, he averages 30 putts per round far too often in tournaments. The bright […]

Yechun Yuan Trying To Find His Game At Olympics

Some will argue that a struggling golfer like Yechun Yuan may have a long weekend at the Summer Olympics. The Chinese golfer has one Top 25 since a tied for fifth at The Valspar Championship in March. Yuan has never won a title in 54 PGA events. One of the major reasons for Yuan's issue […]

Michael Kim Attempts To Right His Struggles At 3M Open

Michael Kim has missed the last two cuts in stroke play events. The American golfer has made 12 of 21 cuts in 2024. He has seven Top 25 results and even a Top 10. However, there are so many misses to go along with his positive stats. One of his biggest problems is driving accuracy. […]

Taylor Moore Recovering From Scottish Downturn

Taylor Moore did not have the best of times over in Scotland. Links golf proved to be too much for the American golfer as he missed the cut at both events. The Open Championship saw Moore shoot a 78 and things improved little after a Friday 74. Now, at least, Moore has the chance to […]

Austin Eckroat Relieved Majors Portion Of Schedule Is Over

Austin Eckroat won the Cognizant Classic in Florida at the end of March. Since then, the American golfer has had a few more downs than ups. This is especially true when it comes to the major tournaments, Eckroat missed the cut at The Masters, finished 18th at the PGA, blew up on the weekend at […]

Neal Shipley Now Among The Pros For The 3M Open

Neal Shipley turned pro days after setting the low amateur mark at the US Open. It was the second time the American golfer did that in a major (Masters).

Seamus Power Has Potential For A Good Result

Seamus Power did not play in The Open Championship. The Irish golfer did not crack the Top 50 at the Genesis Scottish Open. Now, the week off hopefully helps his slightly below average putting. Power ranks 116th in strokes gained to putting at -0.127. Worse, his birdie conversion percentage ranks 124th and his 1.775 putting […]

Ryan Preece A Little Slow Leading Up To Indianapolis

Ryan Preece lacked the speed off the corners at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Preece and his Stewart-Haas Racing car qualified 31st for the Brickyard 400. The Ford lost several tenths of a second off Turns 3 and 4 alone. A lack of acceleration had a ripple effect as the runs went on. Preece was 35th […]

Daniel Hemric Continues To Lag In Indianapolis

Daniel Hemric did not have the best of qualifying efforts or practices at Indianapolis. The Kaulig Racing driver starts Sunday's Brickyard 400 from the 32nd position. There is little hope of place differential. However, maybe some attrition could remedy that problem. The No. 31 Chevy ran 31st in practice a full 1.124 seconds off the […]

Austin Dillon Starts Just Outside The Top 10

Austin Dillon nearly made the final cut in qualifying on Saturday. Richard Childress Racing had to be happy as the No. 3 car showed a lot of speed at times. His best lap was 0.279 seconds off the time of Tyler Reddick. Even in practice, Dillon ended up in the Top 15 with a time […]

Chase Briscoe Top Qualifying Stewart-Haas Car

Tom Hoge A Bit Inconsistent The Past Several Events

Tom Hoge has had some good and bad results the past couple of months. The American golfer started well at The Memorial before fading. He missed the cut at the US Open and Genesis Scottish Open. The odd thing is that Hoge shot a 62 in the final round at The Travelers Championship. Hoge ended […]

Kurt Kitayama Trying To Make The Cut At The Open

Kurt Kitayama has stuggled in his time playing at The Open Championship. The American golfer has missed a few cuts and barely made it a few times. Kitayama's 2024 season has been frustrating. He rebounded after an awful missed cut at the US Open to produce two Top 35 results. It was not great but […]

Ryan Fox Looking To Find Rhythm At Royal Troon

Ryan Fox has been a little bit off the past several tournaments. The New Zealand golfer cracked the Top 10 at the RBC Canadian Open for the third time in 2024. However, Fox has struggled since. He finished outside the Top 50 in three consecutive tournaments. The bright side is Fox has made seven straight […]

Akshay Bhatia Rolling Into The Open Championship

Akshay Bhatia picked the right time to heat up. The American golfer has consecutive Top 5 finishes including a tied for second at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. He played well enough to stay in contention at the US Open in June. Bhatia has had an interesting 2024 as he heads over to play at The […]

Taylor Moore Needs To Get Off To Better Start

Taylor Moore heads to The Open Championship off a missed cut. The American golfer shot an opening round 75 last Thursday. Although he followed that up with a 68, Moore did not see the weekend.
