Is it Scottie Scheffler or The Field at WM Phoenix Open?

As time goes on and Scottie Scheffler continues to wreak havoc on the rest of the PGA Tour roster, the question of whether you take him or literally anyone else becomes the weekly discussion. He's so good in every area that if he shows up firing on all cylinders, everyone else is playing for second […]

Maverick McNealy Riding Solid Finish to TPC Scottsdale

The impressive start that Maverick McNealy has gotten off to this season has a chance to throw a W in the mix this week at the WM Phoenix Open. The 30-year-old has demonstrated supreme comfort on this track in two previous starts (WD'd in 2023), with T9 and T6 finishes coming in the last two […]

Brooks Koepka Returns to Site of First Career Victory

It felt like a special occasion with Brooks Koepka back on the tee sheet for the Farmers Insurance Open, and this week will likely feel like much of the same. The WM Phoenix Open was the site of his first career victory on the PGA Tour in 2015, and it often feels like one of […]

Billy Horschel Unlikely to Right the Ship in Phoenix

Even after a handful of starts under his belt after returning from injury, Billy Horschel still seems to be getting back to playing form after a missed cut last week at Torrey Pines. He averaged -0.85 strokes putting and -1.75 strokes gained from tee to green. The most glaring metric was from around the green, […]

Harry Hall Looks to Continue Strong Season-Opening Form in Phoenix

After a T6 finish to open the season, followed by a T24 the following week, Harry Hall should be pleased with how his game is trending ahead of this week at TPC Scottsdale. He's making a ton of putts, averaging +1.123 strokes gained through his first two starts. That number will surely fall, just as […]

Chris Gotterup Hoping to Turn The Tides of Phoenix Open History

It has been an incredible run for Chris Gotterup over the last seven months. From winning the Scottish Open last year to being the first winner on tour this season, he's established himself as one of the bright young players. After competing on TGL Monday night, the 26-year-old made the trek out to TPC Scottsdale […]

Is Tony Finau Ready to Ride Momentum into TPC Scottsdale?

After a discouraging 2025 season, the new year started in a similar fashion for Tony Finau. The 36-year-old missed both of his first two cuts of the campaign and looked set for a third after a terrible start on Thursday at Torrey. However, he battled back nicely to finish T11. After a run of poor […]

Sam Burns Looks to Get Back to Usual Putting Form in Phoenix

It was a decent start to the season for Sam Burns, who finished T27 at the AMEX a couple of weeks ago. He averaged +1.33 strokes gained from tee to green, but surprisingly, lost strokes with the putter. That is the second consecutive event where the putter let him down, going back to the Hero […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2026 WM Phoenix Open

It was a dominant performance last week for Justin Rose, who won the Farmers Insurance Open by seven shots in wire-to-wire fashion. The 45-year-old continues to show up at big events and redefine who can have success on the PGA Tour. Torrey Pines South Course is one of the longest venues guys will see all […]

Si Woo Kim Looks to Continue Incredible Run at Torrey Pines

With a T6 finish last week at the AMEX, Si Woo Kim increased his run of cashing fat checks with his ninth-straight top-25 finish. He'll now come to the Farmers Insurance Open, where consistent success has been hard to come by. He has two missed cuts in eight appearances, but has also only finished inside […]

Jason Day has a Good Chance to Keep Momentum This Weekend

It was a great week in the desert for Jason Day, who stormed up the leaderboard on Sunday with a 64 in the final round to finish in a tie for second. The Aussie had a field day on and around the greens, leading the field in both strokes gained metrics. It was also his […]

Keegan Bradley has Good Course History at Torrey Pines

It was a frustrating start for Keegan Bradley at the Sony Open after posting rounds of 68 and 72, only to miss the cut by one. He lost strokes in every metric but off the tee. He will now tee it up on Thursday at Torrey Pines, a place where he has had a ton […]

Billy Horschel Isn't a Great DFS Option at Torrey Pines

With the first two events of the new season behind him, Billy Horschel comes to Torrey Pines looking to keep the momentum going. He's managed to make the cut in both starts, but neither of the tournament venues compares to what awaits at the Farmers Insurance Open this week. The 39-year-old is performing terribly off […]

Xander Schauffele is The Best Fit at Torrey Pines This Week

After a let-down season in 2025, Xander Schauffele is back to play at perhaps the most-loved course on the entire schedule for the two-time major winner. After missing in his first three appearances, the X-Man has posted finishes of T9, T13, T34, and T2 over his last four tries. He's the second-highest player in the […]

Justin Rose Making 16th Start at Farmers Insurance Open

It was a rough showing this past week for Justin Rose, who posted a three-round total of eight-under par to miss the cut by two at the American Express. It was a horrible showing from a putting and short-game perspective, as he averaged nearly 2 shots lost across the two strokes gained metrics over the […]

Maverick McNealy is a Smart Play at Torrey Pines

Most people wouldn't have had this sentiment a few years ago, but Maverick McNealy has grown his golf game to the point where playing well at one of the PGA Tour's longest venues seems much more attainable. He's now averaging over 300 yards off the tee while maintaining the strength of being lights out with […]

Brooks Koepka Making PGA Tour Return at Farmers Insurance Open

After a turbulent couple of weeks, Brooks Koepka is the first--and so far the only--player to return to the PGA Tour since leaving for the rival LIV Golf League. It will be his first tour-sanctioned event that he's played in since May of 2022. From a DFS perspective, Koepka is still on a heavy "wait […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2026 Farmers Insurance Open

Well, it didn't take long for the world to witness another Scottie Scheffler victory on the PGA Tour, as the world's unequivocal top player dominated the AMEX field this past week. It was another stark reminder that everyone has a long mountain to climb to get to him. Interestingly, the transition from PGA West to […]

Will Zalatoris Could Start Off Hot at Favored PGA West Event

Those following the Will Zalatoris story arc have been privy to the back-and-forth he's experienced over the last few years from a health standpoint. Even the years between back problems have been reluctant to embrace. However, hearing him discuss things ahead of this week's American Express, it sounds like things may actually be on the […]

Justin Rose Starting Season at AMEX Event After Bounce-Back Year

2025 reminded golf fans of the presence of Justin Rose in professional golf after the 45-year-old re-emerged as a name to watch for every week he tees it up. Over his final eight starts, he accumulated two top 25s, one top 10, and a victory at the St. Jude event in Memphis. His ability to […]

Harry Hall Looking to Have Another Solid Week in Coachella Valley

It was a solid start to the 2026 season for Harry Hall after finishing T6 last week at Waialae. It was a complete week from a strokes gained perspective, with his +2.13 strokes gained total average being pretty evenly distributed among the four individual metrics. He'll now travel to PGA West to make his fifth […]

Rickie Fowler Hoping to Keep Train Rolling at the AMEX

It was a delightful end to the season for Rickie Fowler, who racked up T6 and T7 finishes in Memphis and at the BMW Championship before ultimately missing out on the Tour Championship. He caught fire with his irons for those two events, earning an average of +1.105 strokes on approach over those eight rounds. […]

Harris English Starting Off the Year at Questionable AMEX Tournament

For a player of Harris English's caliber, it seems odd that he would choose the American Express to make his first start of the new season. He's only recorded two top 20s in nine career starts; however, he's missed only one cut. Most PGA Tour players would be content with that kind of track record, […]

Luke Clanton Still Trying to Settle Into PGA Tour Ahead of AMEX

The beginning of the new PGA Tour season started for Luke Clanton much like his prior season finished: poorly. Mostly due to bad putting, the rate at which he coughs up strokes on the greens isn't conducive to reliable production. The ball striking isn't the problem, as he ranked inside the top 35 in strokes […]

Ludvig Aberg Making Season Debut at American Express

It was a strong end to the year for Ludvig Aberg, who finished no worse than T23 over his last eight starts between a mix of PGA Tour and DP World Tour events. We have long established that the Swede has the game to travel anywhere, but his ability to keep the hammer down throughout […]

Ryan Gerard Heads to PGA West With Momentum After Strong Week in Hawaii

It was a close call on Sunday for Ryan Gerard, who ultimately fell two shots shy of the winning score. It was his second consecutive solo second after finishing runner-up on the DP World Tour in December. Ranking 26th last season in strokes gained on approach (+0.457), he lives and dies by his ball-striking ability, […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2026 American Express

It was a fun return to golf in Hawaii, as the PGA Tour leaves the islands for perhaps the last time. Changes are coming to the PGA Tour, and it's unclear whether the tournaments in America's 50th state will survive the chopping block. Chris Gotterup won the Sony in commanding style, shooting a final round […]

Jordan Spieth Perhaps the Most Intriguing Player at Sony Open

After a year marred by injury in 2024, Jordan Spieth returned in a somewhat subdued capacity in 2025. The evolving landscape in professional golf makes it challenging to determine what a typical schedule looks like these days. Nonetheless, Spieth is hoping to reestablish his place among the best players in golf this year. Waialae presents […]

Aaron Rai Looking For Putting Confidence at Waialae Country Club

It was a great year for Aaron Rai, even if the finishes are a bit high compared to the exceptional ranking in ball striking stats. He was the second-most accurate driver of the golf ball of anyone on tour last season (73.85%) and was 18th in greens in regulation (70.52%). That culminated in ranking inside […]

Collin Morikawa Isn't The Safe Play He Used to Be Ahead of Sony Open

After a 2024 season loaded with close calls, last year for Collin Morikawa looked like more of the same at the beginning. Most of the success over the last 18 months can be attributed to his better putting statistics over that time. However, the issues with the flat stick returned toward the back half of […]
