Rory McIlroy Will be the Most Watched Player This Week at Royal Portrush

Nearing the end of a historic season for Rory McIlroy, perhaps the event that's garnered the most attention from the 36-year-old kicks off on Thursday. It will be the fellow Northern Irishman's second crack at this course, having missed the cut in 2019. His length off the tee certainly gives him more scoring chances, so […]

Robert MacIntyre Hoping to Bounce Back at Open Championship

It was a disappointing week at the Scottish Open for Robert MacIntyre, who posted a T65 in his title defense while averaging minus-1.19 strokes off the tee and minus-0.56 strokes putting. Thursday's two-under 68 was the best round of his tournament, as he failed to break 70 any of the following three days. He'll make […]

Shane Lowry Hopes to Repeat at Royal Portrush

The vibes have to be immaculate for Shane Lowry, who makes his return this week to Royal Portrush. The site of his lone major championship, it was a joyous occasion to watch through the rain and muck of the week's weather. He was undoubtedly the best player that week, leading the field in strokes gained […]

Brian Harman Hopes to Rekindle Some Magic at the 153rd Open

Since his run in late spring that included a win at the Valero Texas Open and a T3 at the RBC Heritage, Brian Harman has struggled to find consistency in both his iron play and off the tee. He's averaged -0.37 in strokes gained on approach over his last three starts. The driver has straightened […]

Chris Gotterup Punches Ticket to Royal Portrush With Win at Scottish Open

It was impressive to watch Chris Gotterup perform under the pressure of having arguably the game's second-best player staring at him for 18 holes during the final round of the Scottish Open. The 25-year-old shot a -4 under par, 66 in the final round to win by two strokes. Often marveled for his length off […]

Bryson DeChambeau Hopes to Reverse Links Golf Struggle at the 153rd Open

It doesn't take too much digging through various data resources to figure out that Bryson DeChambeau has not performed well in his seven previous appearances in the Open Championship, aside from a T8 in 2022. The putting and approach play haven't been there, and unfortunately, the putting has taken a downturn over the last several […]

Keegan Bradley Needs to Find The Weekend at Royal Portrush for Ryder Cup Hopes

With all the hoopla surrounding the upcoming Ryder Cup and whether current U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley will need to bring his sticks to Bethpage as well, this week in Northern Ireland is big. It's the year's final major and the last chance to really vault up the standings with a good week. Golf across the […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Picks - 2025 Genesis Scottish Open

With the PGA Tour season beginning to reach its conclusion, some of the most fan-favorite golf is right around the corner. This week's Scottish Open is the start of arguably the most compelling run of the year, and with one round left, things are shaping up to have an epic Sunday in North Berwick. The […]

Scottie Scheffler Headlines Field at Genesis Scottish Open

Another week and another top ranking for Scottie Scheffler, who comes to The Renaissance Club looking to capture his fourth win of the season, although one could guess that next week is a much more important piece of hardware. Nevertheless, the former Longhorn has established a decent record here in three previous starts, with a […]

Rory McIlroy a Smart Play for Scottish Open

After a T6 finish at The Travelers, Rory McIlroy has laid to rest some of the naysayers who have doubted his focus and determination following his historic Masters victory. He returns to The Renaissance Club again to hopefully prepare his game for a homecoming at Royal Portrush next week. The last two years have been […]

Adam Scott Looking to Build on History at The Renaissance Club

After an impressive T4 finish here last season, Adam Scott returns this year looking to shake off the bad finish at Oakmont a few weeks ago and continue pushing towards improving his 85th position in the FedEx Cup race. On paper, the soon-to-be 45-year-old is doing enough to suggest a repeat performance could be possible. […]

Sepp Straka Not Likely to Find Momentum at Scottish Open

After a missed cut at the U.S. Open and a poor T45 finish at The Travelers, Sepp Straka is an easier name to forget about, even though he's a top 10 player in the world. A short stint of hot putting has withered to a point that he's averaged -1.47 strokes gained putting over those […]

Justin Rose Hopes Month Hiatus Helps Him Bounce Back at Scottish Open

It has been nearly one month since we last saw Justin Rose hit a golf shot. He missed the cut at the U.S. Open with a pair of 77s; the third one out of his last four starts. Ball striking has been bad in all aspects, but particularly off the tee, where the 44-year-old ranks […]

Jake Knapp Fits the Mold for Success at The Renaissance Club

Making his first career appearance this week in the Scottish Open, Jake Knapp is a player who checks a ton of boxes required to find success in North Berwick. He hits it a mile off the tee and is one of the more proficient long iron players this season. The former UCLA Bruin ranks 23rd […]

Sungjae Im Still a Liability at Scottish Open

Despite a T4 finish here in 2024, Sungjae Im still has a bad track record at The Renaissance Club with two missed cuts before that by fairly wide margins. Considering the way this season has gone, there is still plenty to be reserved about when determining when to get back on the train. He has […]

Ludvig Aberg is a Solid Option at Scottish Open

This season has undoubtedly been a weird one for Ludvig Aberg, who seems to spring up at random times and fall off just as everyone expects him to take off. From a statistical look, the short game has been the most costly part of his game. He's also hard-pressed to make putts at times, which […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Scottish Open

With the PGA Tour season nearing its end, we still have some of the most important events on the calendar, namely, The Open Championship and the FedEx Cup Playoffs. However, before we reach the year's fourth and final major championship, the combination of some of the best players from the PGA and DP World Tours […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Picks - 2025 John Deere Classic

The John Deere Classic has delivered fireworks and birdies this July 4th weekend. TPC Deere Run has been getable, with much of the scoring coming over the first 36 holes before heavy winds brought in afternoon storms, making scoring more difficult on Saturday. Sunday looks to have a wetter challenge tomorrow, which could honestly mean […]

Kevin Yu a Near Must-Play at TPC Deere Run

There are certain places that particular players check all the boxes for. Kevin Yu is the person this week at the John Deere Classic, where he's making his third career appearance after finishing T6-T20 the past two years. From a statistical point of view, the important metrics are all those that Yu ranks highly in. […]

J.T. Poston Returns to John Deere Classic Looking for Another High Finish

Site of his second career PGA Tour victory in 2022, J.T. Poston is returning to TPC Deere Run looking to find the same level of play we saw from him earlier this year. Approach play has been the biggest detriment as of late, losing 7.96 strokes in three of his last four starts. The putter […]

Thriston Lawrence a Decent Fit For John Deere Classic

June was quite the month for Thriston Lawrence, who was the biggest surprise on the U.S. Open leaderboard (T8) before finishing T12 last week in Detroit. The game has made a dramatic turn in nearly all facets for the South African. He ranks near the top 30 in driving accuracy (64.32%), but the positive trend […]

Tom Kim Not Finding Much to be Happy About Ahead of John Deere Classic

It has been a frustrating season for Tom Kim, who missed the cut in Detroit last week with rounds of 67-76. It was his 10th consecutive event losing strokes on approach, and he lost strokes off the tee for the eighth time in that same span. That's impossible to overcome on the PGA Tour stage, […]

Si Woo Kim is a Prohibitive Fade at John Deere Classic

It has not been a fun time inside the ropes for Si Woo Kim in recent weeks, having withdrawn from the Travelers Championship and finishing nearly dead last among those who made the cut last week in Detroit. Putting has gone as far south as one could imagine for such a highly-regarded player, as the […]

Ben Griffin is the Appropriate Favorite at TPC Deere Run

Hoping to build on his T5 finish here last season and continue his impressive run since winning the Zurich Classic in April, Ben Griffin should have a strong chance to capture his second win this season. The game that's been on display for the last 10 weeks or so doesn't exactly correlate with what's shown […]

Jason Day is a Fine Play With Limited Upside at John Deere Classic

It's a bit surprising to see Jason Day, who is inside the top 30 in FedEx Cup points and continues to show great form, make the trip this week to Illinois for one of the more mundane events on the PGA Tour schedule. However, it does present an opportunity for the Aussie to be one […]

Luke Clanton Looks to Have Another Strong Week at TPC Deere Run

Perhaps the biggest coming-out event of last season for Luke Clanton came at this week's John Deere Classic, where the then-amateur posted bookend 63s to finish tied for second. His distance off the tee is a help at most places (311.6), and while it certainly isn't a bad thing here, accuracy is usually the more […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 John Deere Classic

Detroit was a shootout of vast proportions, as the winner at the Detroit Golf Club came down to who made putts down the stretch. When the leaders made the turn on Sunday, at least 10 players had legitimate chances to leave Mo-Town victorious; many attempting to do it for the first time. Aldrich Potgieter outlasted […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Picks - 2025 Rocket Classic

Detroit has been another fun stop for the first three days of this year's Rocket Classic, as the PGA Tour begins a small "down period" before ramping back up for The Open in a few weeks. This field may not have been heavy on names, which most full-field events face similar fates these days, yet […]

Cameron Young Looking For Redemption and Possible First Career Victory in Detroit

Coming off the emotional week at Oakmont, it wasn't surprising to see Cameron Young take a backseat last week in Connecticut. The 28-year-old finished T52, and aside from averaging +1.07 strokes putting, was lackluster in all other aspects. He now sets his sights on this week's Rocket Classic, where he's recorded T6 and T2 finishes […]

Collin Morikawa is The Headliner This Week in Detroit For Good Reason

With a field starving for the PGA Tour's top dogs, giving the favorite nod to Collin Morikawa for this week's Rocket Classic is an easy choice. He's the fifth-ranked player in the world, and easily the most feared competitor on the board. However, he's already laid down strong familiarity here, finishing T2 in 2023 after […]
