Aaron Wise Starts 2022 At the Farmers

American golfer Aaron Wise makes his calendar year 2022 debut at the Farmers Insurance Open on Wednesday. Wise had a nice run in the Fall with two top-ten results and never finished worse than 26th. In that stretch, the golfer was making 4.75 birdies a round which ranked 16th on the tour. Now, can he […]

Sam Burns Could Be Dangerous In San Diego

Torrey Pines and Sam Burns could get along well this weekend as Burns has and had been playing well. He worked out some of the rust at the Tournament of Championship earlier in the month. Burns made quite a few birdies finishing in the middle of the pack (19th). It was how he finished the […]

Keegan Bradley An Intriguing Option At The Farmers

Keegan Bradley came off his almost two month break at the Sony Open and nearly delivered a ton-ten performance. He finished tied for 12th and shot all four rounds in the 60's. If not for Day 1 where he missed some normally makable putts (shot a 69), Bradley may have even challenged for a win. […]

Can Lanto Griffin Keep Rolling After Third At AMEX?

Lanto Griffin had a solid run to cap off the 2021 calendar year. Few knew what to expect when he played in the American Express last week. Then he started hitting the ball with authority. Griffin played his shots and did not get ahead of himself. The result was a tied for third place finish […]

Cameron Tringale Working Out The Kinks At The Farmers

A common theme for many golfers in January is how they work out the rust from the holidays. Last week, Cameron Tringale played okay at times but got off to a rough start with a 74 at the AMEX. He rebounded with a 65 before having more problems as a third-round 71 caused him to […]

Harry Higgs Not Easy To Lean On At Farmers

The Farmers Insurance Open may not be the best place for Harry Higgs to get in good form but then again maybe the jolt in the schedule cannot hurt. Higgs blew up last weekend shooting a 77 on Sunday to fall right out of contention at the AMEX. This came off the Sony Open where […]

Mackenzie Hughes Starts Off 2022 at the Farmers

Mackenzie Hughes has not played on the PGA Tour in two months. It was some end to 2021 as the Canadian golfer had two top-five finishes including a runner-up at the RSM Classic. That final-round 62 sent him into his "break" on quite a high. The question is this. Starting at a tournament which begins […]

Patrick Rodgers Returns To PGA At La Quinta

Patrick Rodgers begins his 2022 calendar year on the PGA Tour at the AMEX Golf Tournament. His Fall featured five tournaments where Rodgers was up and down throughout. There were two top-six results then two missed cuts and an outside the top-50 placing. Rodgers ranked 33rd off the tee last year with 0.305 strokes gained. […]

Emiliano Grillo May Be One To Stay Away From At AMEX

Argentinian golfer Emiliano Grillo has had a rough time stringing together birdies, and that may bode poorly for him at La Quinta this weekend. Grillo has missed the cut at the last three tournaments he has entered. That included last week at the Sony Open, where the Argentine shot a 69-68, which was not good […]

Russell Henley A Question Mark At AMEX Golf Tournament

After what happened at the Sony Open to Russell Henley, there are a lot of question marks heading into La Quinta. Henley shot -6 on the Front 9 and looked to be well on his way to a win. Then, missed shots, missed putts, and worse led to a +1 on the Back 9. Hideki […]

Lucas Glover Shows Promise Heading To La Quinta

American golfer Lucas Glover bounced back from a bad showing at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions. At the Sony Open, Glover finished fifth after a 64-65 weekend that kept him in the thick of contention. The only problem is that the course at La Quinta is not quite set up for Glover. He missed the […]

Charles Howell III's La Quinta Fortunes Depend On Putting

Charles Howell III has been done in by putting in the past, but last week he finished T36 because of his erratic shot-making than anything else. Now, Howell may arguably be more of a match for the stadium course. However, that is up for debate. His negative-0.4 strokes around the green is troublesome, but there […]

Tony Finau Has Plenty Of Potential At La Quinta

American golfer Tony Finau has a few numbers that look to be in his favor at this weekend's American Express Golf Tournament in La Quinta, California. Finau finished seventh at the Hero World Challenge. He followed that up with a top-20 (t-19th) at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions. Finau closed with a 65 at the […]

Cameron Davis Won't Do Too Bad At Sony Open

Cameron Davis is interesting for this week's Sony Open because his metrics say there is no way he should finish in the top 20 despite his decent 31st-place finish last year. He often drove the heck out of the ball to set up birdie chances last year. It is not a surprise he ranked 19th […]

Russell Henley Likely To Surprise At Sony Open

Russell Henley nearly finished in the top 10 (T11) last year at the Sony Open. Honestly, he easily would have if he had not missed a few easy putts. Those were ones Henley admitted later he never would have missed normally. His game is suited for a course like Wai'alae Country Club. Henley does not […]

Lucas Glover Not Recommended At Sony Open

Lucas Glover did not do much last week as he finished 35th at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions. It is a nice way of saying things did not go well. Glover either can be total hit or miss as he missed the cut nine times in 2021. Too many weekends shooting in the 70's will […]

Charles Howell III Could Do Well At Sony Open

Charles Howell III has shown the ability to put enough holes together to do well at the Sony Open. Last year, he closed out with a 64 to finish 19th rather unexpectedly. That unexpectedly is because typically there were too many tournaments where the American did not close well. Last season, he had one top-ten […]

Brendon Todd May Struggle At The Sony Open

Brendon Todd does not drive a golf ball very far, but he places the ball quite well. He was first on tour last year when it came to driving accuracy (75.25%). However, the golfer averaged just over 275 yards a drive. That still presents problems, even on a 7,044-yard course like Wai'alae. Todd finished 10 […]

Ryan Palmer Not Expected To Contend At Sony Open

Ryan Palmer can drive a ball just over 300 yards but his lack of putting ability may be his downfall at the Sony Open this weekend. He gained just 0.099 strokes putting which ranked a mere 89th. His work around the green is worse at 144th and in the negative direction. His driving accuracy and […]

Kevin Na Expects Better Finish At Sony Open

American golfer Kevin Na finished 13th last week at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions while literally shooting 67's or 68's each round. That consistency bodes well for an easier playing Sony Open this week (7,044 yard course). The Wai'alae Country Club suits Na's game well. After all, he did win the tournament last year at […]

Brooks Koepka Aims For Great Start At Kapalua

Brooks Koepka had an interesting 2021 season and nearly won the PGA Championship as he finished behind Phil Mickelson. He won the Waste Management Open to qualify for the season opener Sentry Tournament Of Champions. His overall strokes gained ranked 8th on tour last season led by a 1.157 strokes gained from tee-to-green (11th). Koepka's […]

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. The good news for the American is that he is resting comfortably at home in Houston and is mostly asymptomatic. Last year's 3M Open winner had nice run where he finished […]

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 […]
