Corey Conners Lacks Upside At The Genesis
Corey Conners enjoyed a successful 2023 season and reminded everyone why he's still one of the best golfers in the world. Among a long list of highlights, the 32-year-old Canadian notched his second career victory at the Valero Texas Open and posted back-to-back top-10 finishes at the FedEx St. Jude and BMW Championships during the...

Nick Taylor Riding High Entering The Genesis
Nick Taylor is likely to be a popular golfer this week following his emotional victory at the WM Phoenix Open.

Taylor Montgomery In Solid Form Heading Into WM Phoenix Open
Taylor Montgomery is enjoying a great stretch of golf heading into the WM Phoenix Open.

Read More
Mark Hubbard Heating Up Ahead Of TPC Scottsdale
Mark Hubbard isn't always the model of consistency, but he is certainly trending in the right direction heading into the WM Phoenix Open. The OWGR No. 66 heads to Scottsdale on the heels of four-straight made cuts, including a T20 at the Farmers and a T4 at Pebble Beach last week. Hubbard had a disastrous... Read More
Brendon Todd A Sneaky Play At WM Phoenix Open
Brendon Todd should be on the radar of fantasy managers this week. The 38-year-old University of Georgia alum hasn't missed a cut since the Travelers Championship last June, and he's yet to lose strokes on approach in the 2024 season. He's certainly not the sexiest name in the $7,000 range on DraftKings, but he should... Read More
Kurt Kitayama A Tough Choice At TPC Scottsdale
There's a lot of love being heaped on Kurt Kitayama as a long-shot outright winner for this week's WM Phoenix Open. The 31-year-old star has certainly proven he can compete with the best, as he's racked up seven top-10 finishes and a victory at the elevated Arnold Palmer Invitational in his first two seasons as... Read More
Austin Eckroat A Player To Watch At TPC Scottsdale
Austin Eckroat is in solid recent form heading into the WM Phoenix Open. The 25-year-old Oklahoma State University alum has gained total strokes and made the cut in five-straight starts, including a T23 at the World Wide Technology Championship, a T8 at the RSM Classic, and a T25 at The American Express. He's also riding... Read More
Luke List On Team No-Putt At WM Phoenix Open
Luke List could be in line for an excellent week at the WM Phoenix Open. The 39-year-old PGA Tour veteran has the 17th best adjusted course fit, and he enters the week ranking fourth in strokes gained off-the-tee, sixth in greens-in-regulation percentage, 18th in opportunities gained and 28th in birdie-or-better percentage gained over the last... Read More
Adam Svensson A Fade At Pebble Beach
Adam Svensson has been a popular play for fantasy managers over the past few months. The 30-year-old Canadian got off to a hot start in the fall swing, making the cut in all of his starts and picking up three top-20 finishes along the way. But Svensson is likely headed for trouble this week, especially... Read More
Tony Finau A Risky Play At Pebble Beach
There's a lot to like about Tony Finau's form right now. The 34-year-old star has kicked off his 10th year on Tour with four-straight made cuts, including a T4 at the Hero World Challenge and a T6 last week at the Farmers Insurance Open. But Finau may have a tough time contending this week, as... Read More
Andrew Putnam A Sneaky Play At Pebble Beach
If fantasy managers are anticipating a wedge-fest and putting contest this week, Andrew Putnam should be a name circled in their potential player pool. The 35-year-old Pepperdine alum missed the cut here last year, but he finished with a T6 in 2022 and has gained strokes putting in six of his seven starts at Pebble... Read More
Brian Harman Seeking A Strong Finish At Pebble Beach
Something has got to give for Brian Harman this week. Pebble Beach is a notoriously predictive venue in terms of course history, and that would point to trouble for him this week. Currently ranked ninth in the OWGR, the Tour veteran has teed it up five times at Pebble Beach and has yet to post... Read More
Cam Davis Tough To Trust At Pebble Beach
After an injury-plagued start to the 2023 calendar year, Cam Davis finally began to flash glimpses of his former self. The 28-year-old Aussie finished the season eight top-10 finishes in his final 19 events, including a T4 at the PGA Championship, a T7 at the Wyndham Championship, and a T6 at the FedEx St. Jude.... Read More
Maverick McNealy A Dart Throw At Pebble Beach
Thanks to his T37 finish at the Farmers Insurance Open last week, Maverick McNealy earned enough FedExCup points to play the remainder of the season out of the Major Medical category. At a near-minimum $6,200 price on DraftKings, fantasy managers should be licking their chops to roster him this week. McNealy is a California kid... Read More
Chris Gotterup A Bomber To Watch At The Farmers
Chris Gotterup has generated plenty of hype over the last several years and is looking to become a household name in his first year on the PGA Tour. The 24-year-old certainly has the pedigree to do so; in his final year of college at the University of Oklahoma, Gotterup won both the Fred Haskins Award... Read More
Davis Thompson A Risky Option At Torrey Pines
Davis Thompson may be a tempting option for fantasy managers this week given his $7,200 price tag on DraftKings. The 24-year-old Georgia Bulldog is off to a solid start in his second PGA Tour season, having made the cut in all seven of his starts and picking up three top-25 finishes during that span. Unfortunately,... Read More
Justin Suh A Value Play At The Farmers
Despite coming off back-to-back missed cuts, Justin Suh may be a golfer for fantasy managers to target this week. The second-year PGA Tour pro played solid golf in the fall swing, finishing the 2023 calendar year with five-straight made cuts, including a T10 at the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP and a fourth-place finish at the World Wide... Read More
Christiaan Bezuidenhout Looks To Stay Hot At Torrey Pines
Christiaan Bezuidenhout was on a mission at The American Express last week, shooting back-to-back 65s on Saturday and Sunday and almost picking up his first PGA Tour win. That runner-up finish comes on the heels of excellent form in recent DP World Tour events, namely a T9 at the Joburg Open, a T17 at the... Read More
Tyler Duncan A Player To Fade At The Farmers
Tyler Duncan has been a solid value play for fantasy managers as of late, but he is likely in for a tough week at the Farmers Insurance Open. The 34-year-old Purdue University alum has only missed the cut once in his last six starts, a stretch of golf that has included three top-20 finishes, all... Read More
Joseph Bramlett A Player To Fade At The Sony Open
Joseph Bramlett may be an enticing selection for fantasy managers this week at his $6,400 price tag on DraftKings. The 35-year-old Stanford alum is capable contending on any given week, as evidenced by the six top-20 finishes to his name during the 2022-2023. He also made the cut in his last three trips to Waialae,... Read More
Ben Griffin A Player To Watch In Honolulu
Ben Griffin was a popular name for fantasy managers in the fall swing. The 27-year old American kicked his second PGA Tour season off in solid fashion, making the cut in five of six events while also posting two top-10 finishes. Griffin may be licking his chops as he returns to Waialae this week, having... Read More
Hideki Matsuyama Worth Some Exposure At Waialae
Hideki Matsuyma is a historically inconsistent putter and is typically not a popular choice for fantasy managers in birdie-fests. That appears to be the case this week with the Japanese star, clearly among the class of the field, currently sitting as only one of two players above the $9,000 range on DraftKings projected to carry... Read More
Tyler Duncan Trending Up In 2024
Tyler Duncan is worth keeping an eye on at the Sony Open this week. The 34-year-old Purdue University alum is certainly not a household name, but he is arguably playing the best stretch of golf in his six-year PGA Tour career. He racked up three top-20 results in his five fall swing starts, including a... Read More
Taylor Pendrith A Risky Play At Waialae
Taylor Pendrith got off to a hot start in his third PGA Tour season. The 32-year-old Canadian racked up three top-15 results in his five fall swing events, including a T3 at the Shriners, T15 at the World Wide Technology Championship, and a T8 at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. That recent form may catch the... Read More
Adam Schenk A Risky Play At The Sentry
Adam Schenk was arguably in the best form of his PGA Tour career toward the end of the 2022-2023 season. The self-proclaimed "grinder" posted six top-10 finishes in his final 11 events, culminating with a T9 result at the Tour Championship. Unfortunately, Schenk appears to have cooled off since then, as his three starts in... Read More
Nick Taylor A Player To Fade At Kapalua
Nick Taylor is coming off of an impressive 2022-2023 PGA Tour season. The 35-year-old Canadian racked up 15 finishes inside of the top-25, including his first PGA Tour win at the RBC Canadian Open in June. He also posted finishes of T13 and T21 in his only two starts in the fall swing. Despite these... Read More
Adam Hadwin A Potential Value At Kapalua
Adam Hadwin will likely be a popular selection at The Sentry this week. Priced at just $7,000 on DraftKings, the 36-year-old Canadian offers fantasy managers plenty of upside in this smaller field. Hadwin had five top-10 finishes to his name last season, and his lone start in the fall swing resulted in a runner-up finish... Read More
Matthias Schmid A Risky Option At Silverado
Matthias Schmid is a bit of an unknown heading into the Fortinet this week. The second-year PGA Tour pro finished the 2023 season with a T20 at the 3M Open and a T22 at the Wyndham Championship, and he's also shown top-10 upside with his T8 finish at the Barbasol Championship in July of 2022... Read More
Peter Kuest A Value Play At Fortinet
The golf community has a relatively small sample size on Peter Kuest, but it is an impressive sample nonetheless. The 25-year-old German played in only nine PGA Tour events after receiving Temporary Membership last year, but he made the cut in seven of those events while also posting three top-20 finishes. Two of those finishes... Read More
Kevin Roy Offers Little Upside In Napa
Kevin Roy had a rocky first year as a PGA Tour pro. The 33-year-old New York native missed the cut in 17 of his 26 PGA Tour starts, with his best finish being an 18th-place result at the Mexico Open in April. Roy does appear to be a decent fit for Silverado's North course on... Read More
