Aaron Wise Must Find His Putter This Week
Aaron Wise just misses three or four putts when he has no reason to. It was what kept him out of the top 10 last Sunday at The Arnold Palmer Invitational. Several missed key putts on the back nine led to a double-bogey on 18 that pushed him back to a tie for 17th. It... Read More
Chris Kirk Carries Value Once More This Week At Sawgrass
This has been a nice three-week stretch for Chris Kirk. After missing the cut in three out of four tournaments, Kirk has a 14th, 7th, and then a fifth last week at The Arnold Palmer. That is some heady stuff from the American golfer. Considering his metrics are pretty good, his averages are not always... Read More
Keegan Bradley Has Game For The Players Championship
The one thing that holds Keegan Bradley back typically is putting. Everything about his game plays well to Sawgrass. He nearly finished in the top-ten at The Arnold Palmer last week. He just needed to make a few more putts as Bradley could not get one round under 70. Again, this week the American golfer... Read More
Cameron Tringale Looking For Big Week At Sawgrass
Cameron Tringale is another one of those golfers that just cannot put two consecutive weeks together. He looks like a top-10 or top-20 player one week then cannot make a cut the next. This pattern has repeated for eight tournaments and goes back to October of last year. The good is when he makes the... Read More
Mackenzie Hughes Has Some DFS Value At Sawgrass
Mackenzie Hughes has yo-yo'ed his way around the golf courses over the past month. One week he misses putts and the cut. The next week he improves. That has been the pattern so far in 2022. One thing that has been better in most of his rounds is ironically the putting. He has gained 0.736... Read More
Erik van Rooyen Could Struggle Again At Sawgrass
Everything that could go wrong for Erik van Rooyen did last week at the Arnold Palmer. The 73 in Round 1 was bad enough. The 79 was an unmitigated disaster that left the South African lost for words. The double bogey on the 15th was a real dagger. Erik van Rooyen hit too many errant... Read More
Patrick Reed Still Flailing Heading Into The Players Championship
Those that were hoping for some kind of better result for Patrick Reed last week were sorely disappointed. Reed missed the cut at the Arnold Palmer after a 72-76 opening two days. The last six weeks have seen the American golfer miss a cut in three straight tournaments. Ever since that weekend at the Farmer's... Read More
Collin Morikawa Has Game To Win At Sawgrass
Collin Morikawa has not quite struggled like Jon Rahm has early in the season. Morikawa has some impressive results so far in 2022. That includes a top-five at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions and a tied for second at The Genesis Invitational. His final round 65 last month almost netted him a victory. Morikawa's metrics... Read More
Jon Rahm Looking For A Hot Putter At Sawgrass
The world's top-ranked golfer continued his run of good form with a T17 finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week.

The Spaniard's ball-striking was excellent once again at API, where he... Read More
Tommy Fleetwood Hanging On To Top-50 Ranking
Tommy Fleetwood (OWGR No. 49) followed up a missed cut at The Honda Classic with a T20 last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The Englishman made the cut on the number and then rose up the leaderboard during extremely challenging conditions over the weekend. But the 31-year-old lost strokes from tee-to-green in both Florida... Read More
Tony Finau Hoping To Find Form In Florida
Tony Finau does not have good course history at The Players Championship, and that correlates to his poor putting statistics on Bermuda greens. The world's No. 23-ranked golfer does not have the best current form either, with two missed cuts and nothing better than a T19 finish in six tournaments thus far in 2022. This... Read More
Tyrrell Hatton Looks To Solve Sawgrass Puzzle
Tyrrell Hatton played in the United States for the first time in 2022 last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and finished an impressive T2. The 30-year-old had an impressive bounce-back performance under tough conditions on Sunday after falling down the leaderboard on an equally tough Saturday. The world's No. 16-ranked player had been playing... Read More
Paul Casey Looks To Recover From Tough Weekend At API
Paul Casey (OWGR No. 27) had a rough weekend at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week, finishing near the very bottom of the leaderboard. The 44-year-old had been playing well entering the event, and he was certainly not the only world-class golfer to struggle with the challenging test that API provided. The Englishman was good... Read More
Matthew Fitzpatrick Remains In Phenomenal Form
Matthew Fitzpatrick was on a roll before withdrawing from The Genesis Invitational with a stomach illness last month and showed no signs of weakness last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The 27-year-old finished T9 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, marking his third top-10 finish in as many tries in 2022. Fitzpatrick (OWGR No. 25)... Read More
Ian Poulter Keeps Plodding Along In Florida

Billy Horschel found himself in contention again last week at The Arnold Palmer Invitational. Horschel played well in all aspects of his game. He gained 12.2 strokes total.

Gary Woodland Riding Great Form Into The Players
Gary Woodland recorded his second straight fifth-place finish at The Arnold Palmer Invitational. Woodland has ridden a hot putter during this stretch. He gained 6.3 strokes on the greens last week.

Marc Leishman Hopes To Rebound At The Players
Marc Leishman let down many last week as a chalk play. Leishman finished in 68th place and lost strokes in almost every key metric. He was especially bad from tee-to-green, losing 2.6 strokes. It was surprising to see Leishman struggle. He has not lost strokes from tee-to-green since The BMW in August. Leishman has not... Read More

Brooks Koepka Looks To Add Players Title To His Resume
Four-time major champion Brooks Koepka will attempt to add a Players Championship title to his impressive list of accomplishments this week. Koepka's lackadaisical attitude toward non-major events is well known in golf circles, but he's put forth some nice efforts in previous trips to TPC Sawgrass. The Florida native owns a 71.17 scoring average over... Read More
Daniel Berger Looks To Rebound At TPC Sawgrass
Daniel Berger suffered a tough loss two weeks ago at the Honda Classic when he let a five-shot lead slip away in the final round at PGA National.

Patrick Cantlay A Strong Option For Players Championship
A strong run to close out 2021 resulted in a FedEx Cup title for Patrick Cantlay and the Californian hasn't slowed down in 2022. Cantlay has looked razor sharp this year and has recorded top-five finishes in three of his five starts. The 29-year-old currently grades out second on the PGA Tour in total strokes... Read More
Xander Schauffele Looks For Breakout Win
Xander Schauffele posted an impressive runner-up finish in his Players Championship debut in 2018 but has missed the cut in each of his two subsequent starts at TPC Sawgrass.

Abraham Ancer Off To Slow Start In 2022
After posting a career year in 2021, Abraham Ancer has started 2022 in sluggish form. Ancer has failed to record a top-25 finish in any of his five starts this year. The normally-reliable ball-striker currently ranks a lowly 95th in strokes gained approach over his last 24 rounds. The Mexican will look to right the... Read More
Sahith Theegala Well-Rested Heading Into API
Sahith Theegala had a much-needed break after playing six consecutive tournaments, including an emotionally draining T3 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The rookie has shown that he has all the tools required to contend on the PGA Tour. Other than an impressive stretch of putting, gaining strokes in six of his last seven starts,... Read More
Lee Westwood Looks To Replicate Last Year's Performance
Lee Westwood has been rather quiet on the PGA Tour to start the 2021-2022 season, and we have only seen him appear twice. Westwood's performance last week at the Honda Classic was rather pedestrian, but he gained strokes in all major statistical categories other than around the green. In contrast, Westwood's short game was spectacular... Read More
Carlos Ortiz Flying Under The Radar Ahead Of The API
Carlos Ortiz has been hot with his putter. He has now gained strokes on the greens in three straight tournaments. Unfortunately for Ortiz, he has struggled from tee-to-green and around the greens. If he is going to contend at Bay Hill, he will need to improve in those metrics. Ortiz does have decent course history... Read More
Talor Gooch To Start His Florida Swing At The API
Talor Gooch arrives at Bay Hill after a disappointing missed cut at the Genesis Invitational. Gooch lost strokes in every key metric that week, highlighted by losing 8.6 strokes total.

Maverick McNealy May Be One To Fade At API
Maverick McNealy appears to be arriving in Florida in good form. He finished in seventh place at The Genesis Invitational. A closer look at McNealy's performance may cause some concerns, however. In Los Angeles, McNealy lost 2.3 stokes on approach. He played well that week because of his putting. He gained 8.4 strokes on the... Read More
