Chris Gotterup Hopes to Continue Impressive Season at The Players
It was a return to form this past week for Chris Gotterup at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing tied for 18th. He even gained strokes on the greens for the first time since his win at the Sony Open. The 26-year-old will now travel to Ponte Vedra for his second consecutive Players start. Given what we've already seen in 2026, it would be easy to assume that Gotterup will be among the more favored list of guys to compete this week. However, the deeper side of the analytics may say otherwise. He is 145th in driving accuracy (54.22%) this year, ranks rather poorly in approach metrics beyond 200 yards, and has had questionable wedgeplay at times. His play certainly warrants his high-profile status, but there are better weeks to play him than a demanding TPC Sawgrass.
