Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Cognizant Classic

We are finally through the PGA Tour's West Coast swing that ended this past week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The country's national open was a snooze fest for much of the tournament until an exciting final day that ended in one of the craziest playoffs you will ever see, as Brian Campbell finally earned a […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Mexico Open

After the hustle and bustle of the last few weeks on the PGA Tour, things slowed down a bit in terms of importance this week for the Mexico Open. A longtime professional golf event celebrating its fourth season on the Tour, it used to host much bigger names with Jon Rahm and Tony Finau having […]

Michael Thorbjornsen Looks To Get Things Going In The Right Direction At Mexico Open

After two missed cuts to start the season, Michael Thorbjornsen finished T74 in Phoenix two weeks ago. The 23-year-old does have some upside this week given his 312.4 driving distance (ranked 21st on Tour) and his proximity with longer irons; however, many negatives make this immensely talented player hard to trust until things improve. Putting […]

Davis Riley An Unlikely Candidate For Success At Mexico Open

It has been a rough start in this young season for Davis Riley. The 28-year-old hasn't played four rounds in an event with a WD at the Sentry followed up with three consecutive missed cuts. The ball striking has completely evaded the former Crimson Tide golfer, as he ranks second-to-last on the PGA Tour in […]

Avoid Ryan Palmer Like The Plague At Mexico Open

Ryan Palmer's 22nd year on the PGA Tour has not started as well as he'd hoped. The 48-year-old is a non-factor at most events these days, as he's merely biding time until the Senior circuit calls. The stats have not been good, ranking outside the top 120 in every strokes gained metric and struggling mightily […]

Matteo Manassero In For A Long Week In Mexico

It has taken Matteo Manassero much longer than expected to make his way onto the PGA Tour. The 31-year-old made quite the name for himself in the early days of his professional golf career on the European circuit. He's making his third PGA Tour start of the season this week on a beast of a […]

Jake Knapp Returns To Defend His Title At The Mexico Open

Last year was an impressive coming-out party for Jake Knapp. The now 30-year-old PGA Tour player is in his second year on the circuit and returns to a place seemingly tailor-made for his brand of golf. He's coming off a T17 finish at the Genesis Invitational last week, where he ranked 5th in the field […]

Charley Hoffman A Great Bounce-Back Candidate In Mexico

Perhaps the biggest question of this week for many DFS players is what to do with Charley Hoffman. He was a flash in the pan for two weeks, however, that flash is bookended by poor performances. Horrific putting has been the story for the 48-year-old in this early season, as he ranks nearly dead-last in […]

Ben Griffin A Potential Sneaky Play At Mexico Open

Since his T7 finish at the AmEx, Ben Griffin has been battling a sick putter as he ranks 135th in strokes gained putting (-0.346) this season. This current run with the flat stick is the worst of his career and something that should come back around in time. The resort-style putting surfaces at this week's […]

Blades Brown Making Second Professional Start In Mexico

Thursday will be the first round of the second career start for Blades Brown since turning professional in January. His first start came at the AmEx, where other than an impressive 64 on Friday, he didn't do much on his way to missing the cut by two shots. Given the quirky absence of data on […]

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

It was a wonderful week in San Diego at Torrey Pines, as the relocated Genesis Invitational brought a ton of action and drama down the stretch that ended with a Ludvig Aberg victory. The young Swede overcame a spotty start on Sunday to birdie four of his final six holes and steal the win away […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Genesis Invitational

Normally held at Riviera Country Club, this week's Genesis Invitational has been a staple on the PGA Tour, long before Tiger Woods became the host. However, the Tour had to call an audible for its host site after the fires that swept through the L.A. area in January and thus moved this year's edition to […]

Cameron Young Is An Interesting Play At Torrey Pines

After a T12 in the desert, Cameron Young is carrying momentum into this week at Torrey Pines, a place that hasn't been the kindest to him in three career starts. His most recent appearance was a T20 in 2022 at the Farmers Insurance Open but he missed the two previous cuts at the 2021 U.S. […]

Sahith Theegala Is Riding The Struggle Bus To Torrey Pines

Things have not started as high as many hoped for Sahith Theegala in 2025. While he isn't playing badly enough to miss cuts, the Pepperdine product hasn't cracked the top 35 in any of his five starts this season. What's more frustrating is that none of the struggles can be blamed on one part of […]

Justin Rose Looks For Redemption At Torrey Pines

It has been a long and, at times, frustrating history for Justin Rose at Torrey Pines. The 44-year-old has played in 17 total events at Torrey and has had as many quality finishes as missed cuts in that span. His most recent MC came here a few weeks ago at the Farmers Insurance Open after […]

Collin Morikawa An Excellent Play At Genesis Invitational

It has been a fun start to 2025 for Collin Morikawa. He has secured two solid finishes to start his PGA Tour season (T17-2nd) and his TGL team is currently dominating the startup tech circuit. Given the solid play he's continuing to produce, it's crazy to think he hasn't won on Tour in over a […]

Shane Lowry Back In Action At Torrey Pines

After a solo second at Pebble Beach, Shane Lowry is returning to Torrey Pines, where he missed the cut a month ago at the Farmers Insurance Open. The Irishman has made many attempts at various tournaments here over the years but has sadly struggled in most cases. His usual comfortability off the tee is diminished […]

Sungjae Im Is A Highly Volatile Play With Persuasive Upside

Sungjae Im is perhaps the trickiest player in this field to pin down ahead of Thursday, as he could produce a wide range of outcomes that most DFS players will choose to let be someone else's problem, which is understandable. The 26-year-old is notorious for fading at weird times and even at courses where he […]

Torrey Pines May Be A Place To Avoid Russell Henley

It may seem a bit far-fetched to call for outright fading a guy like Russell Henley, who's done nothing but improve over his first three starts this season. However, this famed municipal track doesn't particularly play into his skillset. The long par-4s don't give him many looks with wedges and low irons that are much […]

Tommy Fleetwood An Interesting Name For Genesis Invitational

Probably a better play at the original host site, Riviera Country Club, Tommy Fleetwood still makes for a person of interest ahead of Thursday at Torrey Pines. Through only two events played this season (One PGA Tour and one DP World Tour event), the 34-year-old has gained over 10 shots on approach and is averaging […]

Corey Conners A Scary Play At Torrey Pines

Since his T5 at The Sentry, things have been ugly--primarily on the greens--for Corey Conners. The Canadian has lost over 11 strokes putting over his last three contests, and his record in four events played at Torrey Pines isn't much different. The ball striking remains strong, but bleeding that many shots away with the flat […]

Keegan Bradley A Bounce-Back Candidate At Torrey Pines

Given his history at other venues on the shorter side of the course length spectrum, Keegan Bradley's T65 at Pebble Beach two weeks ago was a bit of a shock. Especially considering the hot start to the year which included a T15 at this venue a month ago at its normal tour stop, the Farmers […]

Ludvig Aberg Plans To Play At Torrey Pines This Week

After withdrawing from Pebble Beach two weeks ago after posting a first-round 77, Ludvig Aberg (illness) will attempt to return this week at Torrey Pines for the relocated Genesis Invitational. While no one can deny the talent level of the young Swede, there is considerable risk here given what's been on display in his last […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Genesis Invitational

The battle at the Greenest Show on Grass ended with a first-time winner, Thomas Detry winning by seven shots after making birdies on the final four holes. It was an incredible display all around for the 32-year-old from Belgium, ranking atop the field in strokes gained on approach (+1.79), second in strokes gained putting (+2.11), […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 WM Phoenix Open

Taking a break from the California coast, the sixth event of this 2025 PGA Tour season is arguably the wildest in golf; it's the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale. A fan-favorite on the schedule that comes with mixed opinions from PGA Tour players, it seems to energize viewers with the typical fireworks created by […]

Davis Thompson Is Riding The Struggle Bus To Scottsdale

Through the early stages of 2025, the elite iron play that accompanied Davis Thompson's sophomore season last year has not been present. The 25-year-old has yet to gain strokes on approach through the first four starts at an average of -0.685. Every other metric is somewhat positive, but that still hasn't translated to a finish […]

Matthieu Pavon Should Be Avoided At All Costs At TPC Scottsdale

Matthieu Pavon is making his tournament debut at the WM Phoenix Open this week. 2025 has been rough for the Frenchman, as he is bleeding strokes on approach, even going back to the end of last season (averaging -1.175 strokes gained on approach over his last eight competitive starts). Through three events in this young […]

Nicolai Hojgaard Will Be Hard To Trust At WM Phoenix Open Debut

Making his first career start at TPC Scottsdale and his PGA Tour Season debut, Nicolai Hojgaard is a dichotomy. The stellar performances on the European circuit (four top 25s and one top 10 in the last six starts) have not translated to events in North America. It's a frustrating issue for a young man with […]

Max Greyserman A Scary Play At WM Phoenix Open

After a successful run to start 2025, Max Greyserman withdrew last week at Pebble Beach before the final round due to a hand injury. Things were already going sideways for the 29-year-old, as he was in a tie for 77th and was losing strokes in most metrics prior to his departure. Nevertheless, he is in […]

Sepp Straka In A Good Position To Improve His History At WM Phoenix Open

It was nearly a second consecutive victory for Sepp Straka (illness) last week in Monterey, but a red-hot Rory McIlroy and stubborn flu symptoms thwarted those plans. Still, it was another solid finish for the Austrian, as he moved into first place in the FedEx Cup points race. He now sets his sights on a […]
