Si Woo Kim is a Prohibitive Fade at John Deere Classic

It has not been a fun time inside the ropes for Si Woo Kim in recent weeks, having withdrawn from the Travelers Championship and finishing nearly dead last among those who made the cut last week in Detroit. Putting has gone as far south as one could imagine for such a highly-regarded player, as the […]

Shedeur Sanders - 2025 Fantasy Football Rookie Draft Sleepers and Values

DRAFT PICK: 5th Round (#144 Overall Pick) TEAM: Cleveland Browns ROOKIE DRAFT ANALYSIS: I maintain the stance I've had since before the NFL Draft, which is that Shedeur Sanders is the second-best quarterback from the 2025 class.

Ben Griffin is the Appropriate Favorite at TPC Deere Run

Hoping to build on his T5 finish here last season and continue his impressive run since winning the Zurich Classic in April, Ben Griffin should have a strong chance to capture his second win this season.

Luke Clanton Looks to Have Another Strong Week at TPC Deere Run

Perhaps the biggest coming-out event of last season for Luke Clanton came at this week's John Deere Classic, where the then-amateur posted bookend 63s to finish tied for second.
