Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Farmers Insurance Open

It was an event full of haymakers at PGA West that resulted in Sepp Straka's third PGA Tour victory. Such an event, which requires 25+ birdies over four days is admittedly not the greatest golf spectacle, as one player tends to shine above the rest leaving Sunday to feel much more flat than I'm sure […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 American Express

The 2025 PGA Tour season has rolled into La Quinta, California, for the American Express at PGA West this week. Play through the first three rounds has been hot and heavy, with low scores being posted in abundance. Heading into the final round, it is Sepp Straka's tournament to lose as the 31-year-old has played […]

Will Zalatoris Looking To Keep Momentum Going At The AmEx

After a middle-of-the-road finish at The Sentry to kick off his 2025 campaign, Will Zalatoris comes to La Quinta, CA with his game in a seemingly good position. Nothing was spectacular about his week at Kapalua, but besides slightly losing strokes on approach (-0.29), he didn't lose strokes in any other metric. That wouldn't be […]

J.T. Poston A Volatile Player With Upside At American Express

After two strong tournaments to close out 2024 that included a victory in Vegas, J.T. Poston has struggled to get back in the swing of things in the new year with a T40 at The Sentry and a missed cut last week at Waialae. Mostly to blame has been approach play and putting (losing strokes […]

Justin Thomas Fits The AmEx Layouts Like A Glove

This will be the fourth time Justin Thomas tees it up in La Quinta, although, last year's event was his first time playing the current course rotation as his previous start was back in 2015. After firing a third-round, 61, he looked poised to capture his 16th career victory before the improbable win by then-amateur, […]

Wyndham Clark Looking To Keep Momentum Going At La Quinta

It's been a busy start to the season for Wyndham Clark, who finished T15 at The Sentry before flying across the country to lay the beatdown in the first TGL match last week. The former Oregon Duck is no stranger to hot starts in the early part of the year, as his victory at the […]

Sungjae Im Is A Hot Commodity At The American Express

As will be discussed by many fantasy golf pundits this week, Sungjae Im is a front-runner at PGA West as he possesses the most consistent performances at this event compared to any other player in the field. Sure, he hasn't finished better than a tie for 10th, but his worst finish is a T25 in […]

Brian Harman Leaking Oil As He Heads To PGA West

It was all smiles for Brian Harman last week at Waialae through the first three rounds. However, the left-hander struggled mightily on Sunday, losing 2.76 strokes on the greens and falling nearly 20 spots to leave a sour taste in our mouths coming into this week's event at PGA West. You can never discount the […]

Nico Echavarria An Intriguing Play Again This Week At PGA West

It has been an impressive run over the last several months for Nico Echavarria, as the Columbian star nearly captured his second PGA Tour victory last week at Waialae. But truthfully, he's given himself chances in almost every start since winning the ZOZO Championship in October of last year. On the greens is where Echavarria […]

Sam Burns A Popular Play At The American Express

Coming off a T8 finish at The Sentry at the top of the month, Sam Burns has seemingly picked right back up where he left off in 2024, where he notched two top fives and three top 15s down the closing stretch. He was inside the top 100 in all strokes gained metrics to end […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 American Express

The PGA Tour is moving back to the mainland after a couple of weeks on the islands of Hawaii. This week in La Quinta, CA, 156 players will tee it up at the famed PGA West and its associated facilities for the American Express. A tournament seemingly on the short-list of events that could go […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2025 Sony Open

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to the Round 4 DFS Showdown article. The young PGA Tour season made its way to Honolulu this week for the Sony Open, the year's first full-field event. After a record-setting first week at Kapalua, things are off to a hot start as players who weren't exempt last week gain their first […]

Taylor Pendrith Is A Dark-Horse Pick For Sony Open

Taylor Pendrith has been on a quiet tear for the last six months with a finish no worse than T19 (which was on the Japan Golf Tour). He kicked off his 2025 campaign last week in Kapalua with a T13 finish thanks to solid ball-striking numbers that ranked seventh in the field in strokes gained […]

Eric Cole Looking For Bounce-Back Performance At Sony Open

It was a week to forget at The Sentry for Eric Cole, as the 36-year-old averaged -0.68 strokes gained with the putter and -0.83 strokes gained on approach over his four rounds. Both are unusual struggles for Cole, who finished last season ranked 47th (+0.204) in strokes gained putting and 66th (+0.258) in strokes gained […]

Sahith Theegala A Big Name To Stay Away From At Sony Open

One of the more fruitful DFS players of 2024, Sahith Theegala is making the hour-long trip from Kapalua to Wailae to hopefully improve his T36 finish from last week. An opening round, 76 pretty much took his chances of a contention away early, but it was refreshing to see bounce-back rounds of 68-67-66 over the […]

Nick Dunlap Looks To Bounce Back At Sony Open

It was a disappointing start to the new season for Nick Dunlap, as the former University of Alabama golfer finished 55th at Kapalua last week and struggled to find any success on the Plantation Course. It's easy to forget he's still figuring out the PGA Tour venues given we haven't made it to the tour […]

Tom Kim Making Season Debut At Sony Open

It is time for Tom Kim to get back in the saddle for the 2025 season, having last played at the Hero World Challenge in December. The young South Korean is beginning his third season on the PGA Tour with hopes of improving upon his standings last year which saw his bogey-double-double collapse at TPC […]

Hideki Matsuyama Looks To Make History At Waialae

Off the heels of a historic performance last week at Kapalua, where Hideki Matsuyama set the all-time scoring record relative to par (35 under) in PGA Tour history, he'll have a chance to do something almost as improbable this week at the Sony Open: become just the third player in history to win both Hawaiian […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2025 Sony Open

It was a record-setting start to the new season last week at Kapalua, as Hideki Matsuyama set the PGA Tour scoring record relative to par (-35 under). Many of the players that competed at The Plantation Course have made the quick hour-long car trip to the eastern side of the island for the first full-field […]

Maverick McNealy Making First Career Start At Kapalua

Earning his spot this week with his victory at the RSM Classic to end 2024, Maverick McNealy will be making his first start at The Sentry. It was one of the better seasons of the 29-year-old's career, with six top 10s and 12 top 25s in 28 starts. He was solid in most facets of […]

Corey Conners Making Third Consecutive Start At Kapalua

At this point, it feels safe to regard Corey Conners as one of the premier ball strikers on the PGA Tour. He finished 2024 ranked third in strokes gained on approach (+0.776) and 10th in strokes gained tee to green (+1.130). He still has much to improve on in the short game and putting department […]

Viktor Hovland A Gametime Decision For Year's First Event

Viktor Hovland is looking to make the first start of 2025 since breaking his pinky toe and his recent breakup (again) with swing coach, Joe Mayo, he is coming into the new year doing much of the same as he was in 2024; searching. The ball striking is still there, as he finished the season […]

Tony Finau Making Sixth Start At Kapalua After Rumor-Filled Offseason

As has been the case for at least the past two years now, Tony Finau has been at the forefront of names rumored to be jumping to the LIV Golf League, only to set the story straight by pledging loyalty to the PGA Tour and committing himself to another season. 2024 was perhaps one of […]

Justin Thomas Looks To Get Off To Fast Start In 2025 At Kapalua

Many players on the PGA Tour would like to have had the 2024 season that Justin Thomas did. From a statistics perspective, it was a very positive year, as he ranked inside the top 10 in strokes gained tee to green (+1.240), on approach (+0.639), and around the green (+0.466). However, it still felt underwhelming […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - The Sentry (2025)

Happy New Year, Rotoballers! After the short layoff to recharge the batteries of the world's best players, we are back for a brand new PGA Tour season.

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2024 RSM Classic

The last full-field event of the season is finally here, it's RSM Classic week at Sea Island Resort. A tournament that has been the season closer for much of its time since the inaugural event in 2010. Because of the destination, it garners the attention of a few larger names, as Ludvig Aberg is making […]

Nick Hardy Looks To Find Consistency On The Greens In Bermuda

Getting the game all together has been the main struggle for Nick Hardy all year. The 28-year-old has been crushing it in almost every strokes gained metric, evident by only four missed cuts over his last 14 starts. However, putting has debilitatingly kept him from having many high finishes in that time. Of the 13 […]

Carson Young Hopes To Carry Recent Form To Bermuda

It was a close call last week in Mexico for Carson Young, as the 30-year-old produced rounds of 61-67-65 over the final three days to finish one stroke shy of eventual winner, Austin Eckroat. Much of the recent success can be attributed to increased strokes gained on approach numbers, as he averaged +1.13 over the […]
