Collin Morikawa Withdraws From Valero Texas Open

The last time we saw Collin Morikawa was leaving TPC Sawgrass in a golf cart after tweaking something in his back on the second hole of the tournament. It appears he is still feeling the effects of whatever is going on, thus forcing him out at TPC San Antonio. This comes the week before the […]

Stephan Jaegar Still Looking For Consistency at Valero Texas Open

Everything looked great for Stephan Jaeger during Thursday's opening round last week in Houston. He was near the lead before going +3 on holes six and seven (his 15th and 16th holes of the day). He recovered nicely to post a 66, but it certainly took the wind out of his sails. The German ultimately […]

Nicolai Hojgaard is Red-Hot Coming to TPC San Antonio

It was a sublime week for Nicolai Hojgaard in Houston, who finished runner-up to continue what has been an impressive spring. He led the field in strokes gained on approach (1.67) and ranked fourth in strokes gained off the tee (0.92), but couldn't get anything to find the hole on Sunday. He'll head to this […]

Tony Finau a Risky Proposition at Valero Texas Open

It isn't that Tony Finau is playing terrible golf; it's just a very uninspiring version of it. No part of his game has been consistent enough to be excited about, with his strokes gained around the green being the highest-ranked SG metric he has (23rd: 0.312). His time at TPC San Antonio is also not […]

Ludvig Aberg Looks to Shake Off Collapse at Valero Texas Open

It hasn't been too many weeks since we all witnessed Ludvig Aberg give up a three-shot lead on the back nine at The Players, ultimately falling to a T5 finish. Still, the show must go on, and if there is anyone seemingly built with the mind to stay calm and persevere, it's the Swede. He'll […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2026 Valero Texas Open

Man, what a week for professional golf, huh? The story of Tiger Woods' most recent car accident broke the internet, as he tends to do. That was followed up with a triumphant win for Gary Woodland on Sunday in Houston, for reasons beyond just his play. For those who look at life through a more […]

Sahith Theegala to Rebound at Texas Children's Houston Open

It was an off week for Sahith Theegala at Innisbrook, and it seemed to negate everything we thought about where his game was after a handful of inspiring events. The 28-year-old lost over three strokes on approach, and over two strokes around the greens and putting to miss the cut by a healthy margin. It […]

Stephan Jaeger Hopes to Jumpstart Season at Texas Children's Houston Open

It has been a tougher road in 2026 than it was a year ago at this point in the year for Stephan Jaeger, but he'll have another chance or two at getting things in shape before the year's first major. This week in Houston has been a beloved spot for the 36-year-old, winning here in […]

Adam Scott Hopes to Get Back on Track in Houston

It was a bit surprising to see Adam Scott struggle at TPC Sawgrass after how he's played to start the year. He was the third-best player on tour in strokes gained off the tee through his first four events, and has since fallen to 50th (0.272) through last week. The Australian has still been dialed […]

Sungjae Im Looks to Carry Hot Play to Houston

It has been a while since Sungjae Im was in a position to capture a win on the PGA Tour. He finally found another opportunity last week at Innisbrook, after shooting rounds of 64-69-69 over the first three days to be the outright leader going into Sunday. However, an all-too-familiar day transpired for the 27-year-old […]

Nicolai Hojgaard to Get Back on Track in Houston

With finishes of T27 and T55 in his last four events, Nicolai Hojgaard has undeniably cooled off from the hot run he had put together to begin the season. It is also back-to-back weeks of incredibly tough venues. Memorial Park isn't a piece of cake by any stretch, but it lacks the quirkiness to get […]

Chris Gotterup to be a Popular Choice at Texas Children's Houston Open

Things have cooled off for Chris Gotterup since his two wins in his first three starts of this season, as his best finish since is a T18 at the API. Things have fallen off across the board in strokes gained metrics since the win in Phoenix. This is most notable in driving accuracy, where he […]

Min Woo Lee Looks to Keep Strong Season Going in Title Defense in Houston

It wasn't surprising to see Min Woo Lee have success at Memorial Park in his debut appearance last season, but going on to win was unexpected. However, looking at what is needed around this layout really fits everything that makes the Australian a great player. He's one of the longest players on the PGA Tour, […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2026 Texas Children's Houston Open

It was a redemption story at Innisbrook, as Matt Fitzpatrick rebounded from defeat the week before at The Players in the same dominant manner as the front row seat he had watching Cameron Young. It was another collapse from the player holding the lead going into Sunday, as Sungjae Im shot a +4 over 40 […]

Is Justin Thomas Back Ahead of This Week's Valspar Championship?

After the rustbucket of a golf game that was on display at Bay Hill, Justin Thomas looked a few weeks away--if not a few months--from being able to really become a factor again inside the ropes. Cut to a short few days later, and he was one of the promising names looking to win at […]

Jordan Spieth to Bounce Back at Favored Valspar Championship?

As an event that experiences a ton of churn in the field from year to year, Jordan Spieth is on the short list of names that have made it a priority spot on the schedule for many seasons. He won this event in 2015 and has compiled several quality finishes on top of that, but […]

Brooks Koepka is Starting to Find His Groove Again Ahead of Valspar Championship

After a slow start in his return to the PGA Tour, Brooks Koepka has now posted finishes of T9 and T13 over his last two starts. His most recent tournament was last week's Players Championship, where he ranked fourth in the field in strokes gained on approach (1.69). The putter has let him down in […]

Viktor Hovland is One of The Best DFS Plays at Innesbrook

It is a title defense for Viktor Hovland this week at the Valspar Championship. He won a clutch event last season after holding off several good players, and is in great form ahead of Thursday's opening round. The 28-year-old is coming off back-to-back T13 finishes at The Players and the API, which are both approach-heavy […]

Rasmus Hojgaard to Get Back on Track at Valspar Championship

It has been a rough two weeks for Rasmus Hojgaard, who has been unable to put two rounds together to make the cut in his last two starts. As the guys out there know, it only takes one hole to ruin your week. One round of poor scoring is certainly enough to send you home […]

Tony Finau is Again a Scary Option at Valspar Championship

Things have been off for Tony Finau and have shown few signs of changing. The 36-year-old finished T70, shooting a combined eight over par over the last three rounds after posting a 69 on Thursday. It was another event on the growing list of forgettable performances since the beginning of last season. He's been wildly […]

Blades Brown Continues PGA Tour Run at Valspar Championship

This week at Innisbrook is another Blades Brown attempt at proving himself among the tour's best players. We last saw him in Puerto Rico, where he again contended for a tournament title after rounds of 69-67-69-69 got him in a solo third. A much better performance than the last time he was in a similar […]

Great Season Keeps Rolling For Jacob Bridgeman Ahead of Valspar Championship

It was another great week for Jacob Bridgeman, who was a major part of the conversation last week at TPC Sawgrass. He finished in a tie for fifth after posting rounds of 71-70 over the weekend. It was another strong performance on the greens, averaging 2.56 strokes gained putting. However, this was his first outing […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2026 Valspar Championship

What a great week we had at TPC Sawgrass for The Players, huh? All the drama, all the nerves, all the possible outcomes. It was the type of week we expect to have every year, and this one delivered. It also continued the common theme we've seen since the tour moved to Florida of 54-hole […]

Justin Thomas Continues Competitive Return at The Players Championship

It was a week to forget at Bay Hill for Justin Thomas, who was playing in his first start since having back surgery over the offseason. The former Tide golfer lost an average of 2 or more strokes off the tee, on approach, and putting over his two-round stint, posting back-to-back rounds of 79 to […]

Scottie Scheffler Looking to Win Third Players Championship in Four Years

It could be a more difficult row to hoe for Scottie Scheffler this year at TPC Sawgrass, after losing strokes on approach this past week at Bay Hill for the first time in 28 starts. For anyone counting, that tournament stretch goes back to 2024. No matter how sure of someone's game we are, this […]

Collin Morikawa a Smash Play at This Week's Players Championship

Anyone who's watched golf over the last month likely already knows, but Collin Morikawa is perhaps the hottest current player on the PGA Tour, with a solo fifth and a T7 following his win at Pebble Beach. He has been destroying fields with his irons, averaging +1.76 strokes gained on approach over that three-event span. […]

Shane Lowry Looking for Bounce-Back Week at TPC Sawgrass

There aren't many players who can consistently show up at The Players Championship, but Shane Lowry is on the short list of names that have done that over the last five seasons. The Irishman has found his way inside the top 20 at this golf course four out of the last five years. It's been […]

Russell Henley Needs His Whole Game to Show Up at The Players Championship

It has quietly been a really good start to 2026 for Russell Henley. He hasn't been a serious part of any conversation week to week, but has only slipped outside of the top 20 on any leaderboard in his first five starts. He's been a DFS darling, but there have been significant shortcomings almost every […]

Chris Gotterup Hopes to Continue Impressive Season at The Players

It was a return to form this past week for Chris Gotterup at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing tied for 18th. He even gained strokes on the greens for the first time since his win at the Sony Open. The 26-year-old will now travel to Ponte Vedra for his second consecutive Players start. Given what […]

Harris English Hopes to Find Any Sort of Success at TPC Sawgrass

Despite his Southeastern roots and affinity for playing on Bermuda grass surfaces, Harris English has a downright putrid record at The Players Championship. In 12 career appearances, he has one top 20 finish to go along with seven missed cuts. The former Georgia Bulldog is a serviceable ball striker, but it isn't up to the […]
