Akshay Bhatia Coming Into Houston With Confidence

The Florida Swing didn't get off to the best start for 22-year-old Akshay Bhatia, as missed cuts at PGA National and TPC Sawgrass extended his streak to three straight truck slams. However, last week's Valspar Championship may have breathed some life into his profile heading into the Lone Star State, as a 17th-place finish in […]

Thorbjorn Olesen Still Trying To Find Footing On U.S. Soil

Despite a spectacular run of play in Europe from the Fall of 2023 until January of 2024 that included five top 10 finishes and a win over nine starts, Thorbjorn Olesen hasn't been able to translate that form across the pond. He's made just one cut out of three across Mexico, Palm Beach, and Palm […]

Patrick Rodgers Fighting Inconsistencies Heading Into Houston

2024 has been an up-and-down season thus far for Patrick Rodgers, as the former Stanford standout has recorded three top 15 finishes in nine starts but missed three of his last five cuts. Positive signs could be on the horizon, however, as Memorial Park's lengthy layout should suit the big-hitting Rodgers' game to a tee. […]

Scouting the Routing: 2024 Valspar Championship

It was a week of ups and downs for us around TPC Sawgrass, as four of our six outright selections ended the week inside the top ten on the leaderboard, but as Wyndham Clark's birdie putt on 18 lipped out on the left side, we once again came up just short of cashing out second […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Looking To Put It All Together At TPC Sawgrass

The Florida Swing hasn't been nearly as kind as in years past for Christiaan Bezuidenhout, as he's lost a cumulative 1.6 shots to the field in two lackluster starts in Orlando and Palm Beach Gardens. Sawgrass, however, compares quite favorably to another Pete Dye design (PGA West), that saw Bezuidenhout finish as a runner-up two […]

Eric Cole Rebounding Well In The Sunshine State

After an opening-round 78 at the Cognizant Classic two weeks ago provided a disastrous start to his annual homecoming, Eric Cole rebounded quite nicely at a much more demanding track in Orlando. The Delray Beach native shot (-1) over four days at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill: gaining over 2.5 shots on the field average in […]

Brian Harman Playing The Dark-Horse Role Again At The Players

Despite a year of phenomenal firsts for Brian Harman in 2023, the fanfare has not yet reached fever pitch for the Georgia Bulldog to this point in the New Year. Harman still feels like a man still on the precipice of breaking through the glass ceiling of superstardom, and weeks like this in Ponte Vedra […]

Matt Fitzpatrick Searching For Answers Thus Far In 2024

It's been a rough start to the 2024 campaign for Englishman Matthew Fitzpatrick, as our 2022 U.S. Open Champion has missed three of seven cuts and recorded no finish better than 14th through the first two-and-a-half months of the New Year. The going doesn't get much easier this week in Ponte Vedra, either, as TPC […]

Sahith Theegala One Of The Tour's Fastest Risers To Start The New Year

Sahith Theegala has long been regarded as one of the PGA Tour's premier microwaves: a birdie-making machine that can contend on the sport's biggest stages when the game gets hot. However, historic deficiencies with his ball-striking (particularly off of the tee), have robbed the young American of a stable week-to-week baseline through his first two […]

Sam Burns Brings A Stellar Run Of Form Into TPC Sawgrass

After an up-and-down 2023 campaign that saw him dip nine spots in the Official World Golf Rankings, Sam Burns has come flying out of the trap in the New Year. He recorded four straight top-ten finishes between California and Arizona during the Tour's West Coast Swing, and last week, returned to the state of Florida […]

Scouting the Routing: 2024 PLAYERS Championship

After Scottie Scheffler slammed the door shut with a Sunday 66 around Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill, the word on all golf fans' minds is "repeat," as the World No. 1 now returns to another venue where he completed a five-shot demolition of a marquee field. Scheffler's new mallet putter has returned immediate life on the […]

Nicolai Hojgaard Looking Forward To Tackling Bay Hill

Last year's Champion of the DP World Tour Finals in Dubai has found mixed results to this point on the PGA Tour, as Nicolai Hojgaard followed up a runner-up finish at the Farmers with three pretty pedestrian finishes around Pebble Beach, Riviera, and Vidanta Vallarta. Given his elite combination of driving distance and iron play, […]

Eric Cole Back To Playing The Underdog Role At Bay Hill

It's hard to quantify just what went wrong last week for Eric Cole at PGA National, as the former Honda Classic runner-up carded an opening 78 around a relatively benign layout in Palm Beach Gardens. His last-place position on the Thursday leaderboard came as a shock to many of us in the golf industry, as […]

Brian Harman Facing Some Early Season Struggles

2023 was a year of firsts for the 37-year-old Brian Harman, as his triumph at the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool saw the Georgian reach his best-ever world ranking of eighth and receive his first invite to represent the United States Ryder Cup team. 2024 has not been quite as kind through two months, however, […]

Matthieu Pavon Continues To Impress

Although a Sunday 70 saw the Frenchman fall nearly 20 spots on the final leaderboard, Matthieu Pavon's debut in the Sunshine State was far from a fruitless endeavor. Pavon spent most of the week sitting inside the top 15 and continued a stellar combination of precise ball-striking and sublime putting that has allowed him to […]

Tom Kim Faces Stiff Test Around Bay Hill

2024 has provided Tom Kim with a mixed bag through the first two months of the campaign, as the 21-year-old star has seen his three consecutive top-35 finishes at marquee events in Los Angeles, Scottsdale, and Monterrey bookended with a missed cut at the American Express and a 62nd place finish last week around PGA […]

Scouting the Routing: 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational

After a fun little hors d'oeuvre in Palm Beach Gardens, the PGA Tour's Florida Swing moves quickly into the first of two upcoming main courses: the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge. "Major Championship Conditions" is a descriptor often overused in golf media, but with winning scores of (-9), (-5), (-11), and […]

Taylor Montgomery Putting Together Solid Results

Looking back over the last 18 months since Taylor Montgomery earned full status on the PGA Tour, it's been remarkable to watch his propensity for grinding out top results despite lacking in many of the game's key areas. Although Montgomery routinely rates out as one of the worst ball-strikers on a weekly basis, he's recorded […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Arrives To Florida In Stellar Form

Although he first arrived on the PGA Tour as one of the game's premier short-game maestros, Christiaan Bezuidenhout has spent the last 12 months reshaping his image into one of the more decorated iron players in this field. Over his last five starts, Bezuidenhout has gained nearly a stroke and a half per round with […]

Luke List On A Mission To Reverse Past Heartbreak

For much of the Sunday afternoon coverage around Riviera, Luke List seemed to be the man to beat at the Genesis Invitational. An opening-nine 30 put him two clear of the field heading to the tenth tee box before three costly bogeys over his next six holes allowed Hideki Matsuyama to storm up the leaderboard. […]

Matthieu Pavon Looking To Widen His Season-Long Lead

Despite being one of the more unheralded DP World Tour imports heading into the 2024 PGA Season, Matthieu Pavon has strung together one of the most impressive debut runs we've ever seen from a new member. His incredible win at the vaunted Torrey Pines was backed up the very next week with a third-place finish […]

Shane Lowry Leaning On Some Positive Florida Vibes

It's been a middling few months for the 2019 Open Champion, as Shane Lowry has gone five events without a top-20 finish on the PGA Tour. His 60th-place result at the WM Open was bookended with a final round 76, which undid a lot of the early progress he'd made in the early going around […]

Scouting the Routing: 2024 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches

Fresh off of the relaxing, jovial atmosphere of Mexico's National Open, the PGA Tour makes its maiden voyage into the Eastern timezone for the first of four consecutive events held in the Sunshine State. Unlike Vidanta Vallarta, however, the courses in the Florida rotation aren't exactly known for their forgiveness, as the next four weeks […]
