Kurt Kitayama A Boring Play At RBC Heritage

Except for a brief scare at the WM Phoenix Open, Kurt Kitayama has been a mainstay on the bottom half of leaderboards, almost weekly. If safely getting all six guys to the weekend is your strategy, he's your guy. Just know that in this case, a high floor comes with a low ceiling, especially at […]

Emiliano Grillo Looking To Bounce Back At RBC Heritage

It was a messy two days at The Masters for Emiliano Grillo to say the least. An uncharacteristically putrid performance losing an average of nearly three shots off the tee made everything else impossible for the Argentinian. It was so bad, that it feels almost impossible to have anything close to the same outcome this […]

Sepp Straka Continues Maddening Run Of Inconsistent Play

Nothing seems to stay the same when determining Sepp Straka's golf game, other than the superb play off the tee, ranking 46th in strokes gained off the tee. Everything else has the potential to be miles in either direction. Ranking 12th in the field at Augusta National in strokes gained on approach is amazing. But […]

Keegan Bradley Looking To Get Over The Hump At Harbour Town

Coming off a T22 at The Masters and the best performance with his irons all season (1.44 strokes gained on approach), Keegan Bradley is rolling into Hilton Head this week and is looking to raise his current best finish of T44 at this event. It should play well to his strengths as an accurate ball-striker, […]

J.T. Poston A Decent Leverage Play With Upside At RBC Heritage

The only thing separating the recent mundane finishes for J.T. Poston versus the strong start he had to his 2024 season is putting. He averaged 1.08 strokes gained putting over his first four events compared to a -0.016 average through his last three starts. Ball striking hasn't been anything to write home about, but he […]

Akshay Bhatia A Perfect Fit For Harbour Town, But Take Caution

Akshay Bhatia has done nothing but play stellar golf in the last four weeks. He's the hottest young player currently with top-of-the-charts ball-striking numbers -- ranking 12th in strokes gained on approach (0.630) and 16th in strokes gained off the tee (0.504). There isn't anything to dislike about how he's been playing, however, a freak […]

Brian Harman A Big Name With Tons Of Risk

Since being a bridesmaid at The Players Championship, Brian Harman has been in a rough stretch due to horrid iron play; losing an average of -1.29 strokes on approach over his last three starts. Inconsistency from tee to green has been his forte, although his outing at The Masters, where he lost -2.6 strokes with […]

Si Woo Kim Looking To Continue The Good Play At RBC Heritage

He may not be showing up on the first page of leaderboards, but Si Woo Kim is quietly putting together a nice season. He's 10 for 10 on made cuts including one Major and The Players Championship. Superb ball striking has been the main factor, as he ranks 11th on the season in strokes gained […]

Justin Thomas Due For A Bounce-back At RBC Heritage

The wheels on the struggle bus remained firmly fixed to the road for Justin Thomas. He comes to Harbour Town, a place that has been kind to the two-time major winner, off the heels of a missed cut at The Masters; his second in the last three starts. Things with the putter have been abysmal, […]

Tommy Fleetwood Will Be A Popular Pick At RBC Heritage

Coming off a T7 at the Valero two weeks ago, and a share of third place last week at The Masters, Tommy Fleetwood is on a heater right now. He's gained an average of 1.2 strokes on approach over those two starts and nearly a stroke off the tee during that same span. He has […]

Rory McIlroy Returning To Harbour Town With More Eyeballs Than Ever

Perhaps it's because of the fine he received for skipping this event last season, or maybe because of the rumors swirling since leaving Augusta National on Sunday that the once-staunch critic of LIV Golf was in talks to join the rival league. Either way, Rory McIlroy comes to this week's RBC Heritage with just as […]

Save Yourself The Heartache And Don't Play Sepp Straka At The Masters

Perhaps the most turbulent of players in this week's field is Sepp Straka. When it seems like he is gearing up for a run of good play, a missed cut slaps DFS players in the face. It's frustrating to rank inside the top 10 in strokes gained tee to green one week, and at the […]

Keegan Bradley Coming To Augusta National With Ice-Cold Putter

The 2024 season hasn't quite been the same level of play for Keegan Bradley, as he has missed three of his last four cuts thanks to losing an average of almost a stroke and a half with his putter during that time. His woes on the greens have been the most talked-about part of his […]

Nicolai Hojgaard Looking For Putter At Augusta National

It's been a rough go on the greens for Nicolai Hojgaard over his last four events, as he's lost an average of minus-1.075 strokes putting over that time, which isn't something DFS managers want to hear coming into one of the most difficult putting tests we'll see all year. It's a problem that his top-level […]

Tiger Woods Set To Make Another Start At The Masters

Yes, Tiger Woods is returning to golf after withdrawing from the Genesis Open in February due to an illness that sent the golf world into a frenzy. The clubhouse at Riviera was bombarded with emergency crews to attend to him and for a while, not many people knew what was happening with the 15-time major […]

Nick Taylor A Boring Play At The Masters

Since his win at the WM Phoenix Open, Nick Taylor has been doing just enough to get by. He boasts a solid 13th ranking in strokes gained on approach (0.629) and 19th in strokes gained putting ((0.575), but everything else hasn't been very good. He's making cuts, but other than a T12 at the API, […]

Akshay Bhatia Earns Last Remaining Invite To The Masters

It will be the first attempt at the best event in professional golf for Akshay Bhatia after the 22-year-old overcame a thunderous push from Denny McCarthy to win the Valero Texas Open. He led the field in strokes gained on approach (2.06) and 9th in strokes gained off the tee (1.07). There is something to […]

Tom Kim Looking For Turnaround At Year's First Major

It's always difficult to know exactly what to do with a guy who has shown a liking for Augusta National but is coming into the week in terrible form. Tom Kim is that guy. After a T16 in his debut here a year ago, the South Korean is returning to the hallowed grounds on the […]

Sahith Theegala Making Second Start At Augusta National

Coming into the first major of the season, Sahith Theegala has been a permanent fixture near the lead on a weekly basis with two top-10 finishes in his last three starts. From a fantasy perspective, there is nothing to dislike about where his game is, as he ranks in the top 50 in all strokes-gained […]

Max Homa Looking To Get Over The Hump At The Masters

Besides a missed cut at TPC Sawgrass, Max Homa has been playing decent golf over the last month and a half with two top 25s and one top 10. His most recent outing last week at the Valero Texas Open saw him have positive strokes gained metrics across the board, though none of them were […]

Cameron Smith Looking For Another High Finish At Augusta National

Coming off a withdrawal at LIV Golf Miami due to food poisoning, Cameron Smith returns to an event where he has done everything but secure a green jacket in seven career starts. The Australian has finished no worse than a T55, which was in his first attempt. Like other LIV players, not much is known […]

Viktor Hovland Searching For A Short Game Coming Into The Masters

The more things change, the more they stay the same. That has been the story for Viktor Hovland in 2024 after taking The Tour by storm last season. His shortcomings around the greens was a highly scrutinized part of his game at the beginning of his professional career. After a much improved 86th ranking in […]

Jon Rahm Making First 72-Hole-Event Start Since November

For many of us, it will be the first time seeing Jon Rahm hit a live shot in 2024. With that anticipation in mind, however, is the realization that placing him in the fold for DFS strategies is essentially a dart throw, though one with the ability to land squarely on a bullseye. There aren't […]

Patrick Rodgers Looking For Another Good Showing At Valero

A solo fifth place at this event was one of Patrick Rodgers' best finishes last season, and he undoubtedly will be looking to have that same success this week. And much like he was in 2023, the former Stanford Cardinal is rolling into town playing pretty horrendous golf. He hasn't had a positive total strokes […]

Doug Ghim Looking For A Return To Form At TPC San Antonio

The stats say to pick Doug Ghim almost every week, though it bit you last week in Houston where he missed his first cut in the last seven starts and ended an impressive stretch of golf that included two top 20s, two top 15s, and one top 10 finish. The major regression on the greens […]

Brendon Todd Is A Risky Play With Upside At Valero

After a missed cut at The Players, Brendon Todd bounced back decently at the Valspar with a finish of T33 that was much higher on the leaderboard before a final-round 76. His derailment came both on the greens (-1.83 strokes gained putting) and off the tee (-2.03 strokes gained off the tee). Todd's efficiency with […]

Nicolai Hojgaard A Complete Fade At Valero

Coming off two missed cuts in his last two events, there is very little reason to be excited about Nicolai Hojgaard coming into this week's Valero Texas Open. Statistics have been poor with every club in the bag, except driver (32nd in strokes gained off the tee: 0.376), and that is likely not enough to […]

Beau Hossler An Impossible Recommendation At Valero

There was a short stretch to begin the year that was advantageous for playing Beau Hossler in DFS lineups, however, that ship has unfortunately sailed until he figures some things out inside the ropes. The only bright spot for the former Texas Longhorn has been with the putter, as he ranks 26th in strokes gained […]

Time To Get Back On The Aaron Rai Train?

Before his missed cut at the Valspar Championship, Aaron Rai was a trending name for DFS players. He had an impressive bounce-back last week in Houston, most notably ranking 24th in strokes gained putting (0.93) and 14th in strokes gained on approach (1.00). Now, the strong performance with the irons is something we have come […]

Tom Kim Looking To Find Some Kind Of Form At Valero

Tom Kim has been on a rough road this season with a best finish of T17 at the WM Phoenix Open. Other than a mediocre 82nd ranking in strokes gained on approach (0.051), he is positioned outside the top 100 in every other strokes gained statistic. The South Korean is undoubtedly one of the biggest […]
