Thomas Detry Struggling To Find Form Ahead Of Players Championship
Since his win at the WM Phoenix Open, Thomas Detry has not had his best form. The incredible putting and iron play he used to win in the desert seems to have soured, as he has lost a combined -9.68 strokes between putting and approach play over his last two starts. The only thing he […]

Patrick Cantlay Looking To Turn The Tides At TPC Sawgrass
For someone as deadly with his ball striking and, at times, the clutchest putter on the PGA Tour, Patrick Cantlay has struggled to find much to be happy about at TPC Sawgrass. His best finish is a T19 in 2023 by gaining over nine strokes ball striking, and is similar form with the irons heading […]

Daniel Berger Looks Strong Heading To TPC Sawgrass
2025 is shaping up to be a resurgent year for Daniel Berger. The 31-year-old finished T15 last week at the API to continue a strong run over his previous four starts, resulting in nothing less than a top 25 finish and including positive strokes gained metrics across the board. While he has yet to get […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Players Championshp
It was an eventful week at Bay Hill this past week as Russell Henley had a late charge on Sunday with a chip-in eagle on the par-5 16th hole to edge Collin Morikawa by a single stroke. It was a dramatic finish at a course known for producing such occasions, and with many of the […]

After a good introduction to the Florida swing last week, the real meat and potatoes of this part of the season began this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Bay Hill has not disappointed through three rounds, as blustery conditions on Thursday gave way to beautiful, calm conditions over Friday and Saturday. Stumbling by the […]

Sahith Theegala Looking To Keep Spark From Last Event Alive At Bay Hill
After a poor start to the season, it was good to see Sahith Theegala finish T17 at the Genesis Invitational a few weeks ago. He's made every cut over his six starts, but his last outing was the first time DFS players were actually happy to have him in their lineups. The putter seems like […]

Robert MacIntyre An Interesting Play At Arnold Palmer Invitational
For the most part, knowing which Robert MacIntyre will be on display each week is the toughest battle in knowing what to do with him in DFS. He's been feast or famine with the flat stick, though the latter is the more dominant trend, ranking 157th in strokes gained putting (-0.487) on the season. What […]

Max Homa Hoping His Course History At Bay Hill Can Help Turn Season Around
Just as much of last season went, 2025 is much of the same for Max Homa. The 34-year-old is coming to Bay Hill having missed his previous two cuts. His woes are pretty cut and dry, with ball striking being the biggest detriment to his game. Over his last four starts, Homa is averaging an […]

Tommy Fleetwood Looking To Get Back Into Good Graces At Bay Hill
Early in his career, the Arnold Palmer Invitational looked like a place itching to award Tommy Fleetwood his first victory on American soil. However, after eight attempts, things have begun to go sideways for the English golfer at Bay Hill in recent years, having shot a second-round 80 last year and being only one of […]

Michael Kim One Of The Hottest Players In Golf Heading To Bay Hill
There aren't many players making the start this week who're playing as well as Michael Kim. The 31-year-old has continuously been in contention in his last four starts, gaining over 12 strokes on approach and over 10 strokes around the greens during that span. That has propelled him to a seventh-place ranking on the season […]

Xander Schauffele Making Long-Awaited Start Since Rib Injury At Bay Hill
After a ho-hum finish at Kapalua to start the year, the golf game has been on the shelf for Xander Schauffele as the reigning PGA and Open Champion has been dealing with a nagging rib injury ever since. Forcing him to miss playing some personally meaningful tournaments, like the two events at Torrey Pines and […]

Collin Morikawa Looking For Better Form On And Around The Greens At Bay Hill
For a tournament with such a knack for producing leaderboards full of top PGA Tour talent, it has been surprising to see Collin Morikawa struggle in most of his appearances. However, all of it can be linked back to his consistent loss of strokes with his putter and short game. In four career starts, the […]

Jason Day Making 12th Career Start At Arnold Palmer Invitational
Coming off a disappointing T50 finish at the Genesis Invitational in February, Jason Day is making another start at Bay Hill. A winner here in 2016, there have been way more examples of good golf than bad, which he'll need to lean into to build some positive momentum before next week's Players Championship. Unfortunately, his […]

Patrick Cantlay Trending Upward Ahead Of Arnold Palmer Invitational
Patrick Cantlay has had a good start to the season, with two T5s and a T15 in three of his four starts. However, he hasn't been able to put everything together for four days and has left every event with one round he'd probably like to redo. That's all it takes to give up wins […]

Daniel Berger A Player To Watch For At Bay Hill
Daniel Berger is making his first start at Bay Hill since 2019. Before the coming out year the following season, and the injuries that came after that, he is undoubtedly a much different player in 2025. Coming off a string of good finishes, the 31-year-old will be a name to watch on Thursday. After a […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational
The Florida swing is off to a fast start, as the middle-of-the-pack PGA Tour players gave us a helluva show this past week at PGA National. From Jake Knapp's 59 to his Sunday collapse, having Spieth and Fowler in the mix again, to Joe Highsmith's unbelievable weekend, the Cognizant Classic was full of everything golf […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Cognizant Classic
The PGA Tour switched coasts as the Florida Swing began in Palm Beach Gardens for the Cognizant Classic at PGA National this week. A longstanding event at a famed property that has lost some status as a bigger event in recent years, it's still proving to give us incredible golf despite being void of the […]

Taylor Pendrith Is An Enticing Play At Cognizant Classic
Knowing what to do with Taylor Pendrith as the PGA Tour heads to Florida is tough. The Canadian had a good run on the West Coast, including two top-10s and a top-15 in five starts. However, his success has lived and died by the ball striking, as he's lost strokes on the greens in four […]

Niklas Norgaard Making Third PGA Tour Start At Cognizant Classic
It is a season of learning for Niklas Norgaard, as he continues to get more comfortable with golf in the U.S. since earning his dual membership last season through the Race to Dubai. He's coming off a T34 last week in Mexico, where his highlights came in strokes gained off the tee(+0.23) and putting (+0.65). […]

Alex Smalley Continues To Impress Ahead Of The Cognizant Classic
Given his constant appearance on the first page of leaderboards to start the season, it's somewhat surprising that Alex Smalley has yet to finish better than T10. He ranks third on the season in strokes gained tee to green (+1.435) and doesn't fall outside the top 50 in any strokes gained metric. He comes to […]

Shane Lowry Hopes To Keep Good Course History Going At PGA National
Making his fourth start in 2025, Shane Lowry returns to the more fruitful side of the U.S. for his golf game over the years, and up first is a tournament he's nearly won three years in a row. Unfortunately, the 37-year-old has failed to get the job done on all three occasions, but, comes to […]

Kyounghoon Lee Is A Tough Sell At PGA National
A T9 at the first event at Torrey Pines this season is the only bright spot for Kyounghoon Lee in 2025. The golf game elsewhere has been spotty, at best, with nothing to lean on in terms of strength in any facet. He's only been in the positive in total strokes gained in one event […]

Michael Kim Looks To Keep Strong Play Going In Florida
The run of good golf continues for Michael Kim, as the 31-year-old finished T13 in Mexico for his third-straight top-15 finish. The week at Vidanta Vallarta was impressive for him in the long iron department, which has been the lone fault in his approach game this season. The length of the course may be the […]

Beau Hossler Is On A Downward Trend Ahead Of Cognizant Classic
Since having two top-15 finishes to begin the year, Beau Hossler's game has taken a giant step backward over his last three events. This has mainly come from the ball-striking side of things. However, last week in Mexico saw him lose strokes across the board —aside from off the tee— en route to missing the […]

Russell Henley Takes Aim At Another Chance For A Big Week At PGA National
It's tough to think about PGA National without thinking of Russell Henley's epic playoff win in 2014 that included a young and spry Rory McIlroy. Since then, he's continued to play well here, including a T3 in 2021 and a T8 in 2020. Given the draw-biased nature of the layout at the Champion Course and […]

Ben Griffin To Keep Momentum Going At Cognizant Classic
After a few events of frustratingly poor results with positive metrics, Ben Griffin put everything together for a solid T4 finish in Mexico last week. Ranking third in the field in strokes gained on approach (+1.48), and inside the top 20 for strokes gained around the green (+0.64) and putting (+0.79). The former UNC golfer […]

Rickie Fowler Looking To Get Back To Having Success At PGA National
Rickie Fowler has made many starts at PGA National in his career. His run in the 2010s was as spectacular as any player could hope for at a single event over 10 years, especially one as unforgiving as the Champion Course. Racking up a win in 2017, a T2 in 2019, two top 10s, and […]

Eric Cole Is A Complete Flier Pick At PGA National
On one hand, the approach play that Eric Cole has put on display in the past gives many reason to believe he is a good business decision for a course like PGA National. But on the other, how much longer can he live off the ROTY season in 2023 that has given him such credibility? […]

Daniel Berger Will Be A Popular Play At Cognizant Classic
The combination of good course history and two quality finishes will make Daniel Berger one of the highest-owned players in DFS lineups this week. The 31-year-old seems ready to jump back into the upper echelons of professional golf in 2025, gaining over seven and a half strokes on approach and over five and a half […]
