Davis Riley has struggled for much of the season, making just 11 of 21 cuts, but found something at the Rocket Classic, gaining more than 8.6 strokes with the putter on his way to a solo-third finish. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he has finishes of T38, T13, and two missed cuts […]

Keith Mitchell has put together a solid season, recording six top-25 finishes and just three missed cuts in 21 events. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he has only one finish inside the top 40 in six appearances. This season, Mitchell ranks seventh in strokes gained off the tee (+0.612 strokes per round), […]

Hideki Matsuyama stayed hot at the Rocket Classic, recording a T5 finish after gaining more than 7.4 strokes on approach, his fourth straight result of T14 or better. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he has four top-20 finishes and five missed cuts in nine career starts. This season, Matsuyama ranks 25th in […]

After missing the cut at The Open Championship, Tom Kim bounced back nicely at the 3M Open, gaining more than 8.2 strokes tee to green on his way to a T20 finish. He now returns to the Wyndham Championship, the tournament where he broke onto the scene with his victory in 2022. That week, Kim […]

Emiliano Grillo has put together a very solid stretch over the past couple of months, recording five straight finishes of T31 or better. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he has struggled in three previous appearances, posting results of a missed cut, T59, and T44. Much of Grillo's recent success has been fueled […]

Tony Finau continued his struggles at the Rocket Classic, losing more than 6.9 total strokes on Sunday and falling to T71. He now turns to the Wyndham Championship, where he finished T44 last year. Finau has struggled throughout the bag this season, ranking 108th off the tee (-0.094 strokes per round), 119th on approach (-0.172), […]

Eric Cole struggled with his ball striking at the Rocket Classic, losing more than 5.2 strokes combined off the tee and on approach on his way to his sixth missed cut of the season. He now looks to bounce back at the Wyndham Championship, where he has finishes of T14, T7, and T74 in three […]

Coming off underwhelming performances across the pond, Justin Thomas needs to find some momentum this week at the Wyndham Championship to get inside the top 30 on the FedEx Cup points list. His play on and around the green has been serviceable all season, but the ball striking has fluctuated, which is the explanation for […]

It's been a poor run for Aaron Rai lately, as the PGA Championship winner has missed his last two cuts, from both poor putting and underwhelming play from tee to green. He'll be making his fifth career start at this week's Wyndham Championship, where he won in 2024. The approach play, while normally the Englishman's […]

Sitting at 86th on the FedEx Cup list, Brooks Koepka needs a solid week in Greensboro to sneak his way inside the top 70. It's been strange seeing him waiting at tour events to get in as an alternate, but it could be the reality again in 2027 if he doesn't find some form come […]

After a T10 finish in Minnesota two weeks ago, Michael Kim followed it up with a T8 this past Sunday in Detroit. The ball striking wasn't nearly as crisp, but the hot putter that added his name to the list of players to shoot a 59 returned to average 1.58 strokes gained putting at the […]

In the limited run of events Ben James has played in down the back stretch of the season, he has shown enough talent to suggest he can succeed on the PGA Tour. He's coming off a T38 at the Rocket Classic, where he had climbed into the top 15 through 54 holes before a disappointing […]

It took until the penultimate event of the regular season for Rasmus Hojgaard to finish inside the top five this season, but it's better late than never. His week in Detroit felt mundane for the first couple of days before the 25-year-old went crazy in round three, shooting a nine-under 61. It was the third […]

After a T9 finish last week in Detroit, Ryan Gerard has now posted back to back top 10 performances, the fourth in his last seven starts. Mostly all of this recent success comes from a putter that can make putts in bunches, while not really doing anything to separate himself from tee to green. Even […]

Last week in Detroit was better than the end result for Michael Brennan, who began Sunday one shot back of the lead and birdied two of his first three holes of the day to take it early. However, he would go on to shoot three over for the day after two doubles and a bogey […]

Ben Griffin is normally solid off the driver's tee. The American golfer could not get out of his own way in Detroit, though, missing tee shots left and right. Griffin lost 1.27 shots and then missed the cut in Detroit as a result. Griffin showed he can drive the golf ball well enough and make […]

Sahith Theegala nearly finished inside the top 10 at the US Open (T11). The American golfer has largely struggled to put rounds together since then. Playing overseas at two higher birdie-friendly courses probably did not help. Since March, Theegala has been mostly average. Three of his four top-10 results came before the spring started. He […]

Maverick McNealy has one career win in 2024 at the RSM Classic. The American golfer has not finished better than 10th in any event this 2026 season. McNealy has gained an average of 0.82 strokes in the past two events when it comes to putting. Overall, he ranks 17th with 0.456 strokes gained putting. Ironically, […]

Johnny Keefer has been putting better lately. The American golfer has gained strokes in each of his last four tournaments putting-wise. Keefer has not been able to find consistency in other metrics, though. Unfortunately, his putts per round are still above 30 at 30.08 (158th). Too many times, Keefer puts himself in a bad position […]

Doug Ghim is driving the golf ball quite well (19th in strokes gained overall). The American golfer is normally quite accurate (32nd at 63.65%). The problem has been putting (29.04 putts per round and 38.89% one-putt percentage). Despite those issues, Ghim ranks sixth in scoring average at 69.15. The dilemma is do we see Ghim's […]

Austin Eckroat was not bad in Detroit last week at the Rocket Classic. The American golfer did end up just inside the Top 40 (T-38). Greensboro is a modest 7.127 yard Par-70. Driving has not been as much of an issue for Eckroat the past three tournaments. The first two rounds have been kinder to […]

Pierceson Coody missed his second straight cut at the Rocket Classic. The American golfer could not string putts together again. This has occurred in three of his previous four events overall (70-72 last week). Around the green was worse for Coody where he lost 1.07 strokes overall in Detroit. Driver accuracy has been another major […]

Blades Brown is having a nice time as a teenage golfer on the PGA Tour. The American golfer has finished inside the top 15 in four straight events, including most recently at Corales Puntacana. While Brown has not competed in too many top-tiered tournaments, he has thrived in what has been put in front of […]

Even with plenty of decent finishes this season, it still feels like a slump year for Xander Schauffele. He's still looking for his first regular-season victory since his standout year in 2024 and has struggled at times with an ice-cold putter. Just in his last seven starts, the 32-year-old has only gained strokes on the […]

Michael Brennan was well in the mix heading into Sunday at the 3M Open, but ultimately struggled, losing more than five total strokes on the final day to finish T24. He now turns to the Rocket Classic, where he is making his tournament debut. Brennan ranks 86th in total strokes gained (+0.064 per round), second […]

There was too much ground to make up on Sunday at the 3M for Hideki Matsuyama, who had his best finish since February with a T3. He continues to dismantle courses with his short game, averaging 2.05 strokes gained around the greens. This led the field by a wide margin, but the downside is that […]

Seeing the guts and poise from Jackson Koivun on Sunday at the 3M Open validated the thoughts many had when he began his professional journey just a few weeks ago. He staved off the number one player in the world and went bogey-free over his rounds on the weekend to claim his first PGA Tour […]

After posting an incredible 59 in Friday's second round at the 3M Open, Michael Kim came crashing back to reality over the weekend to fall into a tie for 10th place. In one round, he was able to gain over six and a half strokes on the greens, but failed to gain them in any […]

After a great beginning to his PGA Tour journey, Ben James had an off week in Minnesota. The 23-year-old lost nearly three strokes on approach over his two days before missing the cut. He'll have a quick chance to turn things around this week in Detroit, where he should have a better chance to play […]

After his win at the John Deere Classic, Chris Gotterup carried that over the pond for good showings at both the Scottish Open and Open Championship. He'll be making what is presumably his final start this week in Detroit before the playoffs begin. The 27-year-old is making his fourth appearance at the Rocket Classic, where […]
