Louis Oosthuizen Looks To Continue Major Success

Louis Oosthuizen finished inside the top five in three out of four major championships last season. The South African heads to Augusta this week looking to add to that success.

Si Woo Kim Seeking First Masters Top-10 Finish

Si Woo Kim has finished inside the top 20 in half of his 14 starts this season. He has done so on the merits of his steady off-the-tee game, with the other areas of his game sporadically gaining the necessary strokes to finish that high up on the leaderboard. Kim has put together a tidy […]

Jason Kokrak Needs Ball-Striking To Improve

Jason Kokrak will need to ramp up his ball-striking this week if he wants to contend. Even with an abundance of length off the tee, Kokrak has barely been gaining strokes in that department lately. His approach play has been steady, but he has yet to have any impressive iron performances since his win at […]

Jordan Spieth Hitting The Ball Well Ahead Of The Masters

Jordan Spieth had a strong Sunday at The Valero Texas Open. Total for the tournament, he gained 10.9 strokes tee-to-green and 6.2 on approach.

Jordan Hicks Named No. 5 Starter

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Jordan Hicks will open the year as the team's No. 5 starter. Jack Flaherty (shoulder) will begin the season on the injured list, so his injury opened up a spot in the starting rotation. Hicks was expected to have a shot at save chances alongside Giovanny Gallegos and others in 2022, […]

Brian Harman A Sneaky Play This Week

Brian Harman may be one of the shorter hitters on tour, but that has not stopped him from gaining over 0.58 strokes off the tee in his last four stroke-play starts. Consistent accuracy off the tee is Harman's strength, which is slightly nullified around a more forgiving Augusta National. Harman has also shown some form […]

Tyrann Mathieu In No Rush To Sign

Free-agent defensive back Tyrann Mathieu visited with the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, and he may visit with other teams, but he's in no rush to sign a deal. "I don't think they really need me, but it would be good to go back home and help them win," Mathieu said. The Honey Badger is […]

Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) and point guard Mike Conley (knee) will be held out of Wednesday's contest vs. Oklahoma City.

Lou Williams Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Lou Williams (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. the Wizards due to lower back discomfort.

Alex Caruso Unlikely To Suit Up For Wednesday’s Game

Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Alex Caruso (back) has been deemed doubtful to play in Wednesday's contest vs. the Celtics due to a lower back contusion.

The Seattle Seahawks have turned down the New York Jets No. 10 overall pick in this year's draft in exchange for wide receiver DK Metcalf, according to a source.

Seth Curry Will Return To Action Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Seth Curry (ankle) has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Knicks after a two-game absence due to a left ankle ailment.

Sergio Garcia Has Struggled Recently At Augusta

Sergio Garcia has a long history with Augusta National, highlighted by a victory in the 2017 Masters. However, since his win in 2017, Garcia has yet to make the cut in any of his three starts at The Masters. Before his win, Sergio had never missed more than two cuts in a row at Augusta, […]

Danilo Gallinari, Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks power forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) and shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) have been deemed questionable to participate in Wednesday's game vs. Washington. Gallinari missed Tuesday's outing due to left knee inflammation, while Bogdanovic has been battling a sore right knee. An absence from Gallinari in the frontcourt would pave the way for […]

Kyle Kuzma Remains Sidelined For Wednesday’s Game

Washington Wizards power forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Atlanta as he continues to work through right knee tendinitis. Kuzma has not suited up since March 18, and with Washington eliminated from playoff contention, it's unlikely the team would rush him back for its final two outings. His absence […]

Cameron Smith Looks To Stay Hot At Augusta

Cameron Smith returns for the first time since his Players Championship win this week at Augusta National.

Patrick Reed A Solid Sleeper At Augusta National

It hasn't been a great season so far for Patrick Reed. In 2022, Reed recorded a stretch from late January to early March where he missed three straight cuts, and finished no better than T46. Now, Reed has back-to-back T26 finishes, and returns to a course he knows very well. The Augusta University graduate has […]

Jairo Diaz Signs With Mariners

Free-agent relief pitcher Jairo Diaz signed a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old had four saves for […]

Jon Rahm One Of The Favorites At Augusta

Jon Rahm comes into the first major championship of 2022 off a T9 at the WGC-Match Play a couple of weeks back. Rahm is very familiar with Augusta National, finishing inside the top-ten on three different occasions. Rahm will command a top-three DFS salary this week, and is worth it. Rahm has the ability to […]

Jorge Mateo Takes Batting Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo (hand) took batting practice on Wednesday and should be fine for Opening Day on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
