He's gained strokes on approach and off the tee in four of his last five starts, while also ranking inside the top 40 on the season in strokes gained putting (0.291). The one concern is that his driver gets wayward […]

Spanning Xander Schauffele's entire career thus far, there may not have been a harder time to recommend him than right now. The 32-year-old is coming off a missed cut last week at the Renaissance Club, where he lost strokes everywhere except around the green. It's a hiccup that has now existed for two consecutive events. […]

It hasn't been a great time for Patrick Reed in recent Open Championships, as he hasn't finished inside the top 30 since 2019 (solo 10th). However, with his level of play this year and his reinstatement to the PGA Tour coming in a few months, he's certainly trying to get in the mix as much […]

Rory McIlroy is coming off a T7 at the Scottish Open, where his driver flourished in leading the field in average strokes gained off the tee (1.50). His putter continues to be a bright spot, even with the somewhat limited schedule he's played in 2026, as does the short game. The Northern Irishman is arguably […]

Corey Conners has an up and down history across the pond. The Canadian golfer has had some less than ideal results but two Top 15 finishes at the Open Championship (2021 and 2025). Throwing out the results from the Genesis Scottish Open may be wise (T-52 last week). One worry is his driver accuracy (7% […]

J.J. Spaun needs to do something he has not done all year. The American golfer has missed every cut at a major in 2026.

J.T. Poston was on a roll in June. The American golfer won a playoff at the Memorial Tournament. If that was not enough, Poston T-4 at the US Open. Then, the up went to down as Poston saw things go south at the Travelers Championship. After another outside the Top 50 finish at the John […]

Min Woo Lee got into a bit of a funk in June. The Australian golfer missed consecutive cuts and narrowly missed a third cut at the Travelers Championship. Lee managed to put four very good rounds together at the Genesis Scottish Open. He nearly tied Tom Kim for the lead but ended up one stroke […]
