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.

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.

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.

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 […]

Pierceson Coody Looks to Get Back on Track in First Players Appearance

Things have cooled off for Pierceson Coody after the hot start to the season. He missed his first cut of the season last week at Bay Hill, after losing over three shots around the green.

Daniel Berger Presses On at The Players Championship

It wasn't meant to be for Daniel Berger this past week at the API, as he ultimately didn't do enough on the weekend to hold off a confident Akshay Bhatia. Still, it was a successful week for the 32-year-old, who led the field in strokes gained on approach (+1.98) and strokes gained from tee to […]

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

Scottie Scheffler the Tournament Favorite at Bay Hill

With two wins in the last four years of this event, there is no surprise to see Scottie Scheffler atop the betting board and DFS pricing.

Xander Schauffele Trending Well Ahead of API

After a slow start to the season for Xander Schauffele, he has begun figuring things out over his last couple of events. The 32-year-old finished T19 at Pebble Beach and posted a T7 finish the following week at the Genesis. It wasn't like he was far off to begin with, but things have certainly gotten […]

Justin Thomas Making Season Debut at API Following Lower-Back Surgery

This has perhaps been the longest that golf fans have been without seeing Justin Thomas inside the ropes of an official golf tournament.

Tommy Fleetwood Isn't As Confident of a Start at Bay Hill as Previous Weeks

After the end of last year's regular season and the start of this new one, Tommy Fleetwood has been one of the most popular DFS plays. It will be no surprise to see him again be one of the most-owned players, but there is reason to be skeptical this week. While he doesn't have the […]

Patrick Cantlay Still Plagued by Bad Putting Ahead of Arnold Palmer Invititational

From a tee to green perspective, Patrick Cantlay has been as solid as ever. He ranks 23rd in strokes gained tee to green (+0.983) this season, but has lost an average of -0.240 strokes gained putting.

Nicolai Hojgaard Continues to Search for First PGA Tour Victory at API

A T6 finish last week for Nicolai Hojgaard was a solid accomplishment after making the cut on the number on Friday. Rounds of 66-65 on the weekend earned the Dane his third top 10 in his last four starts. He has missed the cut in both career appearances at the Arnold Palmer Invitational; however, he […]

Shane Lowry Trying to Shake Off Last Week's Heartbreak at the API

There isn't much to say about what happened to Shane Lowry on Sunday at the Cognizant Classic. It was a bit unbelievable to watch in the moment, undoubtedly more so to be living it. The only thing the 38-year-old can do is move forward, and the look ahead to another week is the one constant […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational

It's hard to know where to begin this article after the collapse we saw on Sunday at PGA National. Shane Lowry, the feature of last week's HFC article, had a three-shot lead with that many holes left to play. What followed was a totally unexpected spiral that certainly isn't seen in players as proven as […]

Keith Mitchell Making The Comfortable Return to PGA National

After a begrudging time on the West Coast, Keith Mitchell is now entering the Florida swing of the schedule. For much of his career, he has performed better on this side of the country, where he is much more comfortable on and around the greens. The former Georgia Bulldog has notoriously performed better on bermuda […]

Brooks Koepka Making Third PGA Tour Start at Cognizant Classic

It's been a few weeks since we last saw Brooks Koepka on the PGA Tour stage, after he unexpectedly missed the cut in his last outing at the WM Phoenix Open. Putting has been a struggle for the 35-year-old, as he has lost over 12 shots on the greens in his first six rounds of […]

Billy Horschel Looks to Improve Season at Cognizant Classic

The start to the 2026 season hasn't been fruitful for Billy Horschel, who is coming off a T48 finish a couple of weeks ago at Pebble Beach. Consistency has been the biggest hurdle, as his short game is the only part of his game with any amount of dependability. The 39-year-old is also struggling to […]

Joe Highsmith Returns to Defend at Cognizant Classic

After a frustrating last six months inside the ropes, Joe Highsmith returns to PGA National this week in hopes of defending his title from last season. The now 25-year-old held off many of the prominent players en route to victory in 2025. However, things have been much tougher as of late. He's only had one […]

Joel Dahmen Needs Better Consistency Heading Into The Florida Swing

As Joel Dahmen continues to try to plod his way back into the upper echelon of the PGA Tour, he now heads to the East Coast with a set of irons and a putter that have mirrored each other through the first three starts of this season. However, that hasn't been to his benefit, as […]

Daniel Berger Looks to Improve Putting as PGA Tour Begins Its Florida Swing

What started as a decent opening to the season for Daniel Berger has taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks. After beginning with top-10 and 20 finishes in two of the first three starts, the 32-year-old finished nearly dead last at Pebble Beach and missed the cut last week at Riviera. The ball […]

Andrew Putnam Looks to Jumpstart His Season at Cognizant Classic

As someone who has failed to play in many Signature Events as of late, Andrew Putnam hasn't had many starts this new season, missing the cut at Torrey Pines and finishing T2 at the American Express. The 37-year-old is making his third start at PGA National, with a T11 finish last year being the only […]

Adam Scott Looks For Continued Success at PGA National

It's been since 2021 that we've seen Adam Scott's name on the field list for this week's Cognizant Classic. The Australian golfer is making his return on Thursday, having just played his best event since 2024 this past week at Riviera, where he finished T4 and gained strokes across the board. The 45-year-old is one […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2026 Cognizant Classic

It wasn't clean by any means, but Jacob Bridgeman hung on to win at Riviera this past Sunday for his first career victory.

The 26-year-old held off a red-hot Kurt Kitayama, […]

Sam Burns Hopes Return to Form Continues at Riviera

After a rather poor start to the season for a talented player, Sam Burns finally found some momentum last week at Pebble Beach, finishing T6 and returning to his usual role of gaining a large portion of his strokes on the greens (over six shots).

Collin Morikawa Riding Wave of Victory Into Riviera

The golfing world finally saw Collin Morikawa back in the winner's circle this past week at Pebble Beach, as the 29-year-old narrowly eked out a one-stroke victory and claimed his seventh PGA Tour win.
