Akshay Bhatia One To Watch For WM Phoenix Open

Akshay Bhatia has had three rather good starts out of four so far in 2024. Aside from that opening round dud at The American Express, the American golfer has done very well.

Corey Conners Knows This Is Not The Valero

Corey Conners is 3-for-3 in making cuts in 2024. That has probably been his only highlight. He has not exactly contended or flamed out completely either.

Min Woo Lee An Intriguing Option At Scottsdale

This course suits Min Woo Lee pretty well from the appearance. The Australian golfer does well and even though this is his career debut at Scottsdale. However, he has been in the Top 40 in seven of his last eight worldwide starts. That +1.5 average strokes gained on the field could loom pretty large too. […]

Sungjae Im May Be Better Off At Scottsdale

Pebble Beach proved to be difficult for some golfers, including Sungjae Im last week. The South Korean golfer shot a mere two-under par, which was good for a tie for 66th place.

Scottie Scheffler Eyes Three-Peat At WM Phoenix Open

Scottie Scheffler could not putt to get out of his own way last year. The Texas native ranked 161st in putting, but then there is TPC Scottsdale.

Josh Berry Poised To Break Out With New Team

Josh Berry finally gets a full-time drive with Stewart-Haas Racing. He takes over the #4 car that was driven by now-retired Kevin Harvick.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout May Have Issues This Week

Christiaan Bezuidenhout does have a top-10 finish this season already. His runner-up result at The American Express drew some notice. He putted well and had all four rounds at 67 or better.

Luke List won at Torrey Pines two years ago in a playoff over Will Zalatoris. The American golfer did not do quite so well last year and did struggle early in 2023. He closed well but it does appear List is not having an easy start to 2024. Finishing 22nd and 66th in his first […]

Adam Hadwin Needs Boost At The American Express

Adam Hadwin needs a boost off the tee to do well at The American Express. Why? The Canadian golfer is average with his driver at best.

Tom Hoge is a long-standing veteran of the PGA Tour. The American golfer has enjoyed some good results, even at The American Express. Hoge was a runner-up just two years ago. He can be a bit up and down at times, but Hoge started last year with four early top-10 results before tailing off in […]

Scottie Scheffler May Have A Chance In Southern California

Scottie Scheffler and the PGA West golf course in La Quinta have a bit of a love/hate relationship. For the most part, Scheffler has several top 25 results and a third in 2019.

Luke List Might Struggle A Little At Sony Open

Byeong Hun An Could Surprise At Sony Open

Byeong Hun An was in it to win it on Sunday but finishing seven shots under par for the day was not enough. The South Korean golfer settled for fourth place by himself.

Tyrell Hatton Sees Potential At Sony Open

Tyrell Hatton seemed to have a problem quite a few golfers did on Saturday at Kapalua. The English golfer could not make putts or get close on approaches. As a result, he shot a 72 which knocked him out of contention for Sunday. Even a 69 would have placed him in the top five. He […]
