Joaquin Niemann Flashes Some Form In Texas
After picking up his first PGA Tour win at The Greenbrier in September, Joaquin Niemann has struggled mightily throughout 2020. Perhaps the Tour's long layoff gave Niemann a chance to work on his game, because he flashed some sharp form at last week's Charles Schwab Challenge. The youngster from Chile posted two rounds of 65... Read More
Sungjae Im Will Stay In Action At RBC Heritage
It's no surprise to see Sungjae Im listed as in the field for the upcoming RBC Heritage. Im is one of golf's most consistent performers and heads to Hilton Head on the heels of a T10 at last week's Charles Schwab Challenge. The 2019 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year already has one win under... Read More
Justin Rose Finishes Strong At Charles Schwab Challenge
One of the many storylines at last week's Charles Schwab Challenge was the equipment change that Justin Rose made during the PGA Tour's layoff. Rose parted ways with Honma and turned back to his long-time club supplier TaylorMade. The switch paid off, as the Englishman scored a T3 finish at Colonial, his best result of... Read More
Webb Simpson Looks To Rebound At RBC Heritage
Webb Simpson disappointed scores of DFS players at last week's Charles Schwab Challenge with a missed cut at Colonial Country Club. Simpson was the highest-owned player across most DFS formats, but made some uncharacteristic mistakes during his two rounds. The veteran will look to rebound at the upcoming RBC Heritage, a tournament in which he... Read More

With a stacked field and a star-studded leaderboard Sunday at Colonial Country Club, it was often-overlooked Daniel Berger that emerged victorious at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Webb Simpson A Rock-Solid Option At Colonial

Joaquin Niemann Looks To Break Out Of Slump
Joaquin Niemann is an exciting young player and appears to have a great PGA Tour career ahead of him. The Chilean picked up his first professional win earlier this season at A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier, but Niemann's play has dropped off sharply since that victory in the fall, and the 21-year-old missed the...

Sungjae Im Ready To Resume The Grind
It's fair to wonder what Sungjae Im has been up to since the PGA Tour halted play in March. Im, the reigning PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, has quickly earned the reputation of the "hardest working man in golf" due to his habit of playing almost every event on the schedule. The young Korean... Read More
Marc Leishman Having A Great Season
When the PGA Tour halted play in March, Marc Leishman was in the midst of a great season. Leishman captured the Farmers Insurance Open title earlier this year against an impressive field of competitors and scored a runner-up at the Arnold Palmer Invitational just six weeks later. It's a guessing game as to how this... Read More
Justin Rose Hopes To Regain Form
Justin Rose hopes an equipment change will help him regain his form when play resumes on the PGA Tour next week. Rose, the former top-ranked player in the world, parted ways with club company Honma during the Tour's stoppage and will presumably have different equipment in his bag when he tees it up at the... Read More
Matt Kuchar Is The King Of Consistency
Matt Kuchar is set to tee it up in the Charles Schwab Challenge when golf resumes next week. It's no surprise that the steady Kuchar was in the midst of another uber-consistent campaign when the PGA Tour halted play in March.

Daniel Berger Looks To Continue Career Resurgence
After two injury plagued seasons, two-time PGA Tour winner Daniel Berger has experienced a career resurgence in 2020. Still just 27 years old, Berger was once considered a rising star, but he plummeted down the official world golf ranking in recent years. His play this season has been a great reminder of just how talented... Read More
Maverick McNealy Finding Success In 2020
After a highly successful collegiate career at Stanford University, Maverick McNealy stumbled out of the gate as a professional.

The 24-year-old has looked comfortable competing against the big boys this year,... Read More
Paul Casey Needs To Improve Putting Stroke
Paul Casey was off to a solid, but unspectacular, start to 2020. When play was halted, Casey had logged four top-25 finishes in seven starts, but had failed to record a top-10 finish. The Englishman's putting stroke is the main culprit for his recent lack of upside. Casey ranks 19th on the PGA Tour in... Read More
Jon Rahm Looks To Continue Strong 2020 Play
Jon Rahm started 2020 on a blistering pace, with four top-10 finishes in five PGA Tour starts. The way the young Spaniard was playing this year, a global pandemic might have been the only thing that could slow him down. It will be interesting to see if the long layoff negatively impacts Rahm's game. We'll... Read More
Justin Rose Parts Ways With Honma Golf
In a move that many saw coming, 10-time PGA Tour winner and major champion Justin Rose has parted ways with equipment company Honma Golf. Rose was a longtime TaylorMade staff member before signing with Honma in 2019. Despite winning the Farmers Insurance Open shortly after putting the clubs in play, the Englishman's overall play and...
