Russell Henley Has Struggled In The Desert Classic

Russell Henley is slated to tee it up in this week's Desert Classic. Henley was underwhelming in his first start of 2019, finishing tied for 66th in last week's Sony Open.

Brendan Steele Hopes To Get Back On Track

Joaquin Niemann Rested and Recharged

It was a whirlwind rookie season for Joaquin Niemann in 2018. The young phenom took the PGA Tour by storm last year, racking up four top-10's in just 13 starts. However, Niemann appeared to run out of steam as 2018 wrapped up and finished just T60 at Mayakoba and T65 at the RSM Classic. The […]

PGA DFS: Horse For The Course - Desert Classic

Hi and welcome back RotoBallers! The Sony Open didn't provide the same final-round fireworks that we saw at the Sentry TOC, as Matt Kuchar's tremendous play down the stretch secured a fairly stress-free victory at Waialae Country Club.

Paul Casey Misses Cut At Sony Open

Paul Casey turned in a disappointing performance last week, missing the cut at the Sony Open. The normally reliable Casey didn't play horrible, but rounds of 72 and 68 left him at even par through 36 holes, two strokes short of the cut line. The Englishman was held back by a balky putter and lost […]

Scott Piercy Has Solid Outing At Sony

Scott Piercy had another solid performance in the Sony Open, logging a T33 at Waialae Country Club. Piercy has played well on the Hawaiian course throughout his career and this week was no different.

After a blistering second-round 62, Stewart Cink headed into the weekend squarely in contention at the Sony Open.

His underwhelming results over the final 36 holes sent the veteran tumbling down the leaderboard. […]

Zach Johnson Disappoints In Hawaii

Zach Johnson started 2019 in disappointing fashion, missing the cut at the Sony Open. Despite logging an eagle in both of his rounds, Johnson shot 71-68 to sit at one-under par after 36 holes and miss the weekend cut by one shot.

Marc Leishman Continues To Roll At Sony Open

Marc Leishman continued his elite-level play in Hawaii, finishing the Sony Open in a tie for third place.

Ian Poulter Continuing Solid Play In 2019

Ian Poulter revived his career in 2018 and brought in the new year with a solid 18th-place finish at last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. Poulter looked sharp tee-to-green at Kapalua, but surprisingly fought a balky putter for most of the week. The Englishman picked up his first career victory in a PGA Tour stroke-play […]

Kevin Na Questionable For Sony

It's not often that we see a PGA golfer listed as questionable, but that's the current status of tour pro Kevin Na. Na was a last-minute withdraw from last week's Sentry TOC with a broken pinky finger, a fairly significant injury for a golfer. He was originally expected to miss around a month, but has […]

Kevin Tway Plays Well In Sentry Debut

Kevin Tway overcame some tough obstacles at last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Matt Kuchar Returns To Sony Open

Matt Kuchar is slated to tee it up in this week's Sony Open. It will be Kuchar's first start at Waialae since 2016.

Marc Leishman heads to the upcoming Sony Open in excellent form. "The Big Aussie" is fresh off a T4 at last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions.

The victory qualified him for this week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. Bradley will rely on his […]
