Luke Clanton Making A Start This Week In Detroit

It was a compelling battle on Sunday at Pinehurst between Luke Clanton and the eventual low amateur Neal Shipley for the coveted achievement. His success at Pinehurst #2 came from strong play with the driver, ranking 5th in the field in strokes gained off the tee (+1.06). Unfortunately, that statistic doesn't carry nearly as much […]

Tom Kim Riding Tons Of Momentum Into Detroit Golf Club

It must be frustrating to have the breakout performance Tom Kim had last week at the Travelers Championship, only to be snubbed by the hottest player the world has seen since Tiger Woods. Exhausting, at the very least. Nonetheless, Kim comes to this week's Rocket Mortgage Classic as the tournament favorite after leading the field […]

Keith Mitchell Looking To Keep Things Moving At Rocket Mortgage

It's been nearly a month since we last saw Keith Mitchell in action, where he finished T10 at the RBC Canadian Open. It's unfortunate to be forced to the sideline just as things seemed to be peaking, but if the game has hung around, he's in a good position to put together another high finish. […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Travelers Championship

Coming off two straight weeks of brutal, unforgiving golf, this week's Travelers Championship has returned to the usual birdie fest most have come to expect on tour. As most important tournaments do, the last Signature Event of the year has gathered the game's hottest players and will produce tons of drama in the final round. […]

Wyndham Clark Looking To Stop The Bleeding At Travelers Championship

It seems safe to assume that at this point, last year was much more a fluke than a reality for Wyndham Clark being one of the elite players in golf. Sure he lucked into a win at Pebble Beach earlier this season, but the event was called at 54 holes due to weather and the […]

Matt Fitzpatrick Looking For Consistency In Connecticut

For DFS managers, Matt Fitzpatrick has been a blood-pressure-raising pick for most of the season. After a solid T5 finish at a firm and fast Muirfield Village, expectations were high going into Pinehurst, but the Englishman barely squeaked by the cut line to shoot 79-69 over the weekend. His putter has not been cooperating lately, […]

Justin Thomas Looking To Bounce Back At Travelers Championship

It was a typical putting week for Justin Thomas at Pinehurst No. 2 -- it was bad. But the more than six shots he lost over the first two rounds were anything but typical. In fact, it was the first time JT has lost an average of over one stroke with his irons at a […]

Sam Burns A Flighty Pick For Travelers Championship

The finishes have been solid for Sam Burns in his last three events (T9, T15, T10), but the road to get there has been bumpy. The inconsistency from round to round has been his biggest pitfall from getting another win under his belt. Good rounds have typically been followed up by poor rounds, and at […]

Collin Morikawa Looks To Improve On History At Travelers Championship

In three career starts at TPC River Highlands, the best finish Collin Morikawa has been able to muster is a tie for 36th place in 2019. However, his play over the last two months is plenty of evidence to suspect he will better that finish. Over his last four events, he's averaging +0.987 strokes on […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 U.S. Open

With one round left in the 124th U.S. Open, where carnage has loomed over every shot, the marathon now turns into a sprint for the year's third major with Bryson DeChambeau out in front by three shots over Matthieu Pavon, Rory McIlroy, and Patrick Cantlay. The baked-out edition in 2014 never reared its head this […]

Dean Burmester A Risky Play At U.S. Open

Like most LIV players, Dean Burmester is a tough read thanks to the limited stats available for the Saudi-backed league. The play he demonstrated at The PGA Championship was impressive, as he finished T12 and ranked inside the top 15 for the event in strokes gained around the green (+0.66), on approach (+1.25), and tee […]

Justin Rose Is One Of The Most Volatile Players In This U.S. Open Field

After a resurgent season last year that saw Justin Rose return to being a prominent threat on the PGA Tour, 2024 has been much less kind to the former U.S. Open champion. The 151st-ranked player in strokes gained on approach (-0.417) still has the pedigree to show out here and there like we saw with […]

Sam Burns Is An Interesting Name To Watch At Pinehurst No. 2

Sam Burns has turned in two solid weeks with a T10 at the RBC Canadian Open and a T15 at The Memorial Tournament last week. In that time, he's mostly posted positive strokes gained metrics across the board. However, he did average -0.35 strokes gained on approach at Muirfield Village, which will need to be […]

Cameron Young Is Hard To Trust At A Difficult U.S. Open Setup

From tee to green most weeks, Cameron Young does enough right to draw some attention at a demanding venue like Pinehurst No. 2. However, it should be noted that the 27-year-old has lost strokes with his irons in four of his last five starts. Things fall off severely on and around the greens, as he […]

Hideki Matsuyama Fits Pinehurst No. 2 Like A Glove

It has been a solid year for Hideki Matsuyama, but there is still a ton more to play for as this week's United States Open plays into his skill set as much as any course he's seen all year. Pinehurst #2 will be the most demanding test around the greens that players will see this […]

Max Homa Is An Interesting Play At Pinehurst With A Good Driving Week

Max Homa is one good week with the driver away from contending in another tournament. He's managed a top 25 or better every time he's gained strokes off the tee in any manner all season. Much of that is thanks to fairly consistent ball striking over the last few months, however, the work around the […]

Collin Morikawa One Of The Heavy Favorites At U.S. Open For Good Reason

It is a strong argument to say Collin Morikawa is the best player on the planet without a win in the last two-and-a-half months. He was the only player that gave Scheffler a scare this past week at The Memorial Tournament down the final few holes, and really, he's knocked on the door at almost […]

Jon Rahm An Easy Fade At U.S. Open

As if the bad play in non-LIV events wasn't enough to have cause for concern about playing Jon Rahm (foot) in fantasy lineups, his recent withdrawal from the Saudi League's event in Houston with an infection in his left foot should. The Spaniard has still not secured a victory on his new circuit and has […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Memorial Tournament

It has been a great week in Dublin, Ohio in the place that Jack Nicklaus built at Muirfield Village. The tournament that always seems to deliver thrilling moments has provided more of the same through the first three rounds. It has been a tough grind for the world's best players, making for good preparation for […]

Cameron Young Is A Total Fade At The Memorial

Since his tie for ninth at The Masters, Cameron Young has been riding the struggle bus in almost every facet of his game besides his typical struggling putter of all things. He has lost strokes around the green and on approach in three of his last four starts, and going right along with that is […]

Russell Henley Taking A Load Of Confidence To Muirfield Village

Russell Henley is no stranger to Jack's place, as the PGA Tour journeyman has played an event here eight times between this tournament and the one-off event played here on back-to-back weeks in 2020. His performances have been everywhere on the spectrum with only three missed cuts, though he's never cracked the top five. The […]

Byeong Hun An Is A Borderline Must-Play At The Memorial

Things are starting to come together for Byeong Hun An as he makes a ninth career start at this famed event hosted by the Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus. He has been feast or famine over his time at Muirfield Village, having never finished outside the top 25 when making the cut. Simply put, when An […]

Sahith Theegala An Intriguing Play At Muirfield Village

Considering Sahith Theegala's bizarre performance dips in both putting and ball striking, they never seem to occur at the more demanding courses. Aside from a T45 finish at Augusta, he has finished inside the top 15 at Harbour Town, TPC Sawgrass, Bay Hill, and Valhalla this season. From a statistical perspective, Theegala ranks 13th in […]

Justin Thomas Looking To Keep Hot Streak Going At The Memorial

Justin Thomas has put together a decent string of good finishes over his last three events (T8, T21, T5) since missing the cut at The Masters. Compared to the field this week at Muirfield Village, over the last 12 rounds played by every competitor, JT is ranked second in strokes gained around the green (+8.47), […]

Viktor Hovland Looks To Defend At Jack's Place

For Viktor Hovland, 2024 hasn't been as fruitful as last season when the 26-year-old won three times, including back-to-back victories to close the year and win the FedEx Cup. Most of it can be traced back to the odd shuffling of coaches since then, however, having returned to former instructor Joe Mayo has seen a […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 RBC Canadian Open

The PGA Tour returns to the country that gave the world ice hockey, peanut butter, and IMAX Theatres for the RBC Canadian Open. Through three rounds, the leaderboard has seen a heavy amount of turbulence with most players struggling to keep the hammer down from round to round. The third round saw Ryan Fox and […]

Kevin Yu In For A Long Week At RBC Canadian Open

Aside from a few splashes of form, Kevin Yu has been an unreliable source for DFS players this season. He is a beast off the tee, but with a putter, he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat (156th in strokes gained putting: -0.536). It's been the downfall of every tournament so […]

It Is Full Steam Ahead For Davis Thompson At RBC Canadian Open

After a missed cut at the first of the month, Davis Thompson has strung together a couple of solid finishes at the Myrtle Beach Classic (T2) and the Charles Schwab Challenge (T17). His ball-striking tee to green has been world-class, averaging +0.876 strokes gained off the tee and +0.76 strokes gained on approach over his […]

Erik Van Rooyen Looking To Ride With The Hot Putter In Canada

It has been an impressive year on the greens for Erik Van Rooyen, as the South African ranks 17th in strokes gained putting (+0.505). A statistic in which his best previous finish was 64th in the 20-21 season. He is holing putts from everywhere (9th in average distance of putts made: 80'6") and striking the […]

Keith Mitchell Looking For Any Signs Of Life With Putter In Canada

For everything Keith Mitchell has done well ball-striking-wise--and he's done a lot--horrendous putting has negated a thick majority of it. He currently ranks 7th on the year in strokes gained off the tee (+0.795) and 11th in strokes gained on approach (+0.597), but, the flipside is a 154th ranking in strokes gained putting (-0.383) and […]
