Brooks Koepka Aims For Great Start At Kapalua

He won the Waste Management Open to qualify for the season opener Sentry Tournament Of Champions.

Patrick Cantlay A Favorite At Sentry Tournament Of Champions

American golfer Patrick Cantlay finished 2021 with a flourish. He had four consecutive top-25 results culminating in wins at the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship. Cantlay had four wins overall on the season but it was that back-to-back that cemented his arrival. Now, the format at the Tour Championship helped Cantlay win but building […]

Abraham Ancer Looks To Feed Off Kapalua Experience

Mexican golfer Abraham Ancer finished in the middle of the pack during last year's tournament at Kapalua. He finally got a feel of the golf course on the final day but it was too late. The first two rounds in the 70's did not help. However, that could not take away from a very good […]

Kevin Na Could Be One To Watch At Kapalua

Kevin Na performs well in Hawaii. Aside from his blowup last year at Kapalua (that 79 dropped him to 38th). It did inspire Na to rebound and win the Sony Open in his next appearance behind an amazing 61-65 weekend. Na also enjoyed quite the end run to 2020-21. He finished six consecutive times in […]

Phil Mickelson Returns To Kapalua After Long Time Away

Phil Mickelson gained entry into the opening "winners only" tournament by winning the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. The last time Mickelson played at Kapalua was in 2001 when he finished 28th out of 33 golfers. The lefty American golfer had one top-20 finish after his major triumph. He takes risks, he misses a lot […]

Cameron Champ's COVID Diagnosis Forces Kapalua Withdrawal

Cameron Champ will not be able to participate in this weekend's Sentry Tournament Of Champions due to a COVID diagnosis. Champ withdrew on Tuesday.

Lucas Glover Tries To Clean Slate After A Brutal 2021 Finish

American golfer Lucas Glover won the John Deere Classic in July of 2021. It was a brilliant performance spearheaded by an incredible 64 that Sunday. After that, things went south and quickly for Glover. He missed three cuts in the final five tournaments heading into the Fall. Then, the Fall featured not much better results […]

Cameron Davis May Have Challenge At Kapalua

Australian golfer Cameron Davis comes into 2022 after a rather disastrous Fall. In his last five tournaments, Davis has missed the cut three times. His other two results were 64th and 27th. Shooting four consecutive rounds in the 70's to end his PGA season was not the way Davis wanted to end 2021. His overall […]

D'Ernest Johnson Goes On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday after he tested positive for the virus. Johnson is vaccinated and will have a chance to clear the league's COVID protocols before the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 25-year-old looked fresh and was impressive […]

Antonio Brown's Camp Claims He Was Too Injured To Play

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown's (ankle) friends were worried about the pain he was experiencing and encouraged him to see a top surgeon outside of the Buccaneers organization. Brown is known for having a high pain threshold, but the belief is that he probably shouldn't have been active in the Week 17 win […]

Quez Watkins Dealing With Knee Injury

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (knee) practiced on a limited basis to begin the week on Tuesday. Watkins is second on the Eagles in catches (38), targets (55) and receiving yards (563), but he is still searching for his first touchdown of the season. Assuming he doesn't have any setbacks on Wednesday or Thursday, […]

Jalen Hurts Still On The Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) remains on the team's injury report and was listed as limited in Tuesday's practice session. Hurts hasn't been running as much since missing Week 13 due to a sprained ankle, but he should be good to go to start in Week 18 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys this Saturday. […]

Miles Sanders Misses Practice Tuesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hand) did not take part in practice on Tuesday. Head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that the Eagles are hoping that Sanders will be available for the first round of the playoffs, so it's unlikely that he'll play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday against […]

Tony Pollard Listed As Limited Tuesday

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) was listed as a limited practice participant during the team's walkthrough on Tuesday. Pollard continues to manage a left foot injury that he suffered in Week 13, but he has only missed one game (in Week 14). In his last three games, Pollard has 23 carries for 117 […]

Billy Horschel Disrespected With Low Salary This Week

It is hard to argue that anyone had a better fall than Billy Horshel. After catching fire at The Tour Championship, Horshel went over the pond to England and won the PGA BMW Championship. He has played at Kapalua three times, highlighted by a T11 in 2018. Horshel's game doesn't seem to correlate here. however. […]

Claude Giroux, Ivan Provorov Enter COVID-19 Protocols

Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux and defenseman Ivan Provorov won't play on Tuesday against Anaheim because of COVID-19 protocols. The latter will miss his first career game after being ever-present since making his debut in 2016-17. The Flyers have received a huge blow at both ends of the ice, as Giroux leads the team with […]

Joel Dahmen Is An Elite Value Option At Kapalua

Joel Dahmen arrives in Maui by the virtue of winning The Corales Puntacana Championship last March. Dahmen had a strong fall swing, highlighted by a fifth-place finish at The Houston Open. That week, Dahmen gained 7.6 strokes tee-to-green. While Dahmen may be one of the more popular plays in his salary range, his game fits […]

Logan Couture Unavailable Because Of COVID-19 Protocols

San Jose Sharks center Logan Couture has been placed in COVID-19 protocols and will miss Tuesday's visit to Detroit. Depth piece Lane Pederson has also joined the protocols. Couture's absence will be great news for the Red Wings, with the 32-year-old having put together a three-game goal streak. He's been very good throughout the campaign […]

Max Homa Could Provide Salary Relief

Max Homa kicked off the fall swing with a win at The Fortinet Championship. He backed that performance up with a poor 72nd-place finish at The CJ Cup. That is indicative of how streaky Homa can be. While Homa typically performs well on difficult golf courses, his win at Silverado showed he has the ability […]

Zach Werenski, Jake Bean Out Against Tampa

Columbus Blue Jackets defensemen Zach Werenski and Jake Bean will miss Tuesday's clash with Tampa. Werenski was added to the COVID-19 list on Tuesday and Bean will be out with a non-COVID illness. These two lead the team in playing time, with Werenski averaging even over 26 minutes per game, so the Blue Jackets blue […]

Anton Lundell Moves To Second Line

Florida Panthers center Anton Lundell will skate on the second line in Tuesday's home game against Calgary. The move comes after the Panthers lost Sam Bennett to suspension and added Sam Reinhart to the COVID-19 list on Monday. Lundell has heated up with a three-game point streak, and the 20-year-old rookie has looked solid all […]

Ziaire Williams Returns To Action For Tuesday’s Game

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Ziaire Williams (ankle) has been cleared to suit up for Tuesday's contest against the Cavaliers. Williams had been sidelined since Dec. 6 due to a sprained left ankle, having played just three minutes since Nov. 28. With that in mind, it's unlikely that the 10th overall pick in the 2021 NBA […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Jeremy Lamb Clear Protocols, Remain Out

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon and shooting guard/small forward Jeremy Lamb have tested out of the league's health and safety protocols but will stay sidelined for at least Tuesday's contest. Brogdon will remain out Wednesday, while Lamb is "unlikely" to play. Indiana is set to be extremely short-handed in the backcourt for those outings with […]

Nico Hischier Out With A Lower-Body Injury

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier will miss Tuesday's matchup against Boston with a lower-body injury. The Swiss talent had a superb two-goal game against Washington at the weekend, and he drops out of the lineup at a very bad time, as both Pavel Zacha and Yegor Sharangovich were added to the league's COVID-19 protocols […]

P.J. Washington Clears Protocols, Questionable For Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets power forward/center P.J. Washington has tested out of the league's health and safety protocols and has earned a questionable designation for Wednesday's contest vs. Detroit. Washington has already missed four games, which has allowed Mason Plumlee and Nick Richards to hold down the center spot. Washington has enjoyed solid production since shifting to the […]

Dougie Hamilton Out Indefinitely With A Broken Jaw

New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton has been diagnosed with a broken jaw and he'll be out of the lineup indefinitely. The 28-year-old took a puck to his face early in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win against Washington and is set to undergo surgery on Wednesday. Hamilton's absence leaves a huge gap on the Devils blue […]
