As the PGA Tour cuts down to the top 50 in the FedEx Cup race, Patrick Cantlay needs to continue his run of solid form to make it to East Lake. At 42nd, he's got some ground to make up. His approach play is the main part of his game that's gotten him through the […]

Before last week, Robert MacIntyre seemed to be trending in a nice direction. However, an opening round 82 at TPC Southwind and a subsequent withdraw leaves little hope of being a trustworthy DFS candidate this week. It was an abysmal week by all statistical measures, especially for a player who finished the season ranked 12th […]

Things haven't slowed much for Tom Kim since his win a month ago. He's coming off his third straight top 20 finish, which included a T5 two weeks ago and a T12 last week in Memphis. The iron play has continued to gain three or more strokes per event, while becoming even more accurate off […]

Through the first two rounds last week in Memphis, Viktor Hovland looked like the one player set to keep pace with Scottie Scheffler. The Norwegian fired rounds of 68-64 to reach second place, but lost pace by going +4 over the weekend. He still managed to squeak out a top-20 finish, led by his iron […]

After a poor stretch through the middle of the year, Xander Schauffele has now recorded back-to-back top-10 finishes after his T7 in Memphis. The iron play and putting were the problem areas, but both have rebounded nicely, averaging 0.513 strokes gained putting and 0.843 on approach in his last three tournaments. If there were any […]

Like everyone else last week at TPC Southwind, Tommy Fleetwood couldn't make enough birdies to make up ground on the lead. It was the second event in his last three starts in which he's lost strokes on putting, and while he continues to post modest ball-striking numbers, they're not at the level needed to win. […]

If golf tournaments ended after 54 holes, Sam Burns would be the unquestioned player-of-the-year frontrunner. His play had kept him within striking distance entering the final round last week in Memphis, but a three-over-par 73 continued an all-too-familiar trend. Even with the incredible ball striking on display, it overshadows an underlying problem that his statistics […]

It really is amazing what Scottie Scheffler is capable of when he makes putts the way he should from inside 10 feet. This past week in Memphis was actually the best statistical putting performance of his career, gaining nearly nine strokes with the flat stick through the four days. The lack of stress this victory […]

All other PGA Premium Tools are available on the premium dashboard. Youthful spirit has dominated the PGA Tour over the last few weeks, with Michael Brennan winning last week in Greensboro. It was the third straight week with a champion under the age of 25. They, along with the rest of the PGA Tour's top... […]

Though the season was derailed by injury and the subsequent rehabilitation that is still ongoing, Collin Morikawa had a fine regular season. This year included a Signature Event victory, as well as two top 10s and three top 5s, and he comes to Memphis this week looking like the bona fide player we've come to […]

Coming off the bench late to begin the year after dealing with back surgery in the offseason, Justin Thomas finds himself in the top 40 on the FedEx Cup, going 14-for-15 on made cuts and finishing inside the top 25 in nine of them. He should make it to next week's event as well, barring […]

The 30,000-foot view of Jordan Spieth's season isn't great for a player of his standards. He failed to finish inside the top 10 in any event, but nine finishes inside the top 25 have gotten him to 54th on the FedEx Cup points list. The problem has been a lack of consistency, as he's shown […]

Despite leading the FedEx Cup by a fairly wide margin, Scottie Scheffler is in the field this week in Memphis and hoping to build some momentum toward the Tour Championship. He's still in search of a second victory this season, but at this point, he's the heaviest of runner-up favorites. There isn't much to say […]

It only took five starts for Jackson Koivun to make his way to 70th on the FedEx Cup points list, but he has a steep hill to climb if he hopes to make a deeper run past this week. He's mellowed out since his week in Detroit, finishing T31 and T29 in his last two […]

Even with one victory this season, there weren't many times Russell Henley made a legitimate run at a title outside of his podium finish at Augusta. But the ability to always find a way inside the top 25 shouldn't be overlooked, as he only found himself outside that position five times in 17 total starts. […]

Outside of the attention that a couple of names will have coming into this week in Memphis, Tommy Fleetwood makes a loud case for being the underlying favorite. He ended his regular season with six consecutive top 15 or better finishes, two of them being top fives. We haven't seen him since his emotional week […]

It was a better late than never scenario last week for Michael Brennan, who stormed up the leaderboard on Sunday to win the final regular-season event. It was the third week in a row that a player under the age of 25 has won on the PGA Tour. After finishing T24 and T15 the two […]

The showing out from the up-and-coming stars on the PGA Tour continued last week at the Wyndham Championship. Michael Brennan shot rounds of 63-64 over the weekend to stave off other impressive names, which included Ben James, who shot rounds of 62 and 61 to open and close the tournament. As a few of the […]

All other PGA Premium Tools are available on the premium dashboard. Similarly to two weeks ago in Minnesota, Detroit conjured up a new emerging star on the PGA Tour this past Sunday, as Michael Thorbjornsen stormed up the leaderboard down the stretch to claim his first PGA Tour victory by two shots.

Coming off underwhelming performances across the pond, Justin Thomas needs to find some momentum this week at the Wyndham Championship to get inside the top 30 on the FedEx Cup points list. His play on and around the green has been serviceable all season, but the ball striking has fluctuated, which is the explanation for […]

It's been a poor run for Aaron Rai lately, as the PGA Championship winner has missed his last two cuts, from both poor putting and underwhelming play from tee to green. He'll be making his fifth career start at this week's Wyndham Championship, where he won in 2024. The approach play, while normally the Englishman's […]

Sitting at 86th on the FedEx Cup list, Brooks Koepka needs a solid week in Greensboro to sneak his way inside the top 70. It's been strange seeing him waiting at tour events to get in as an alternate, but it could be the reality again in 2027 if he doesn't find some form come […]

After a T10 finish in Minnesota two weeks ago, Michael Kim followed it up with a T8 this past Sunday in Detroit. The ball striking wasn't nearly as crisp, but the hot putter that added his name to the list of players to shoot a 59 returned to average 1.58 strokes gained putting at the […]

In the limited run of events Ben James has played in down the back stretch of the season, he has shown enough talent to suggest he can succeed on the PGA Tour. He's coming off a T38 at the Rocket Classic, where he had climbed into the top 15 through 54 holes before a disappointing […]

It took until the penultimate event of the regular season for Rasmus Hojgaard to finish inside the top five this season, but it's better late than never. His week in Detroit felt mundane for the first couple of days before the 25-year-old went crazy in round three, shooting a nine-under 61. It was the third […]

After a T9 finish last week in Detroit, Ryan Gerard has now posted back to back top 10 performances, the fourth in his last seven starts. Mostly all of this recent success comes from a putter that can make putts in bunches, while not really doing anything to separate himself from tee to green. Even […]

Last week in Detroit was better than the end result for Michael Brennan, who began Sunday one shot back of the lead and birdied two of his first three holes of the day to take it early. However, he would go on to shoot three over for the day after two doubles and a bogey […]

Given the changes made to Detroit Golf Club after the 2025 Rocket Classic, it seemed pointless to put out an article last week. However, some familiar faces made their presence known, as Michael Thorbjornsen stormed past a bunched group down the stretch to win his first PGA Tour title. Most of the players in Michigan […]

Even with plenty of decent finishes this season, it still feels like a slump year for Xander Schauffele. He's still looking for his first regular-season victory since his standout year in 2024 and has struggled at times with an ice-cold putter. Just in his last seven starts, the 32-year-old has only gained strokes on the […]
