To properly prepare for the 89th Masters, we once again offer this scouting report that outlines each and every player in the field (not just two of them) this week at Augusta National.
It started just like every other recent Thursday morning in the Klos house. Let the dogs out, take the kids to school, knock out 100 pushups and sit-ups and watch “Killa Keith” fly up the leaderboard. After tying for the first-round lead in each of his past two starts, Keith Mitchell was at it again—this Read more…
The panel is yet again BACK on the board thanks to Pat Mayo and Steve Hennessey’s selection of Min Woo Lee last week at the Houston Open. Community wins do exist and they can be a beautiful thing. Now, we see if we can go 2-for-2 on the Texas Swing before we head to even Read more…
The PGA Tour heads to San Antonio for the final tune-up for the season’s first major. The Valero Texas Open is one of the longest running events on tour, and it has moved around to a number of different venues before settling on the Greg Norman-designed TPC San Antonio. The Oaks Course generally plays as Read more…
After a thrilling Florida swing, the PGA Tour heads to Texas for a two-week stretch in the before the Masters. Memorial Park returns as the host venue for this week’s Houston Open for the fifth consecutive year, but this will only be the second time that the event is held in March. Prior to last Read more…
Another week, another winner for the Golf Digest expert panel. Sure, the haters will say Rory McIlroy was an easy pick by our anonymous swing coach, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Yes, McIlroy was the second favorite, but the uncertainty with his equipment and the fact TPC Sawgrass is a very difficult Read more…
After an exciting Monday finish at the Players Championship, the PGA Tour heads to Tampa for the final stop on the PGA Tour’s Florida swing, the Valspar Championship. While it may not possess the history or name brand recognition of the Arnold Palmer Invitational or Players, the Valspar is an under-appreciated event on an extremely Read more…
The tree that knocked Brian Campbell’s ball back into play during last week’s Mexico Open playoff had all sorts of gambling ramifications. Everybody and their mother was on the long-hitting Aldrick Potgieter, including our anonymous swing coach, who had a too-good-to-be-true 70-1 ticket go up in flames in stunning fashion. But that’s golf (gambling). The Read more…
The Cognizant Classic kicks off the annual Florida swing, which is characterized by swirling winds, copious water hazards and firm, Bermuda greens. For many years, the Cognizant Classic played as one of the most challenging golf courses on the PGA Tour, with the infamous Bear Trap (holes 15-17) consistently beguiling players down the stretch. Yet Read more…
At long last, the panel is in the win column in 2025, with Stephen Hennessey and Keith Stewart hitting Ludvig Aberg outright (25-1) last week at the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines. We needed that one. You can bet there will be more winners to come, ideally starting this week at the Mexico Open, which Read more…
After a torrid West Coast swing, the PGA Tour heads to Puerto Vallarta for the Mexico Open at Vidanta Vallarta. A relatively new addition to the PGA Tour schedule, this will be the fourth edition of this event with the prior three being won by Jon Rahm, Tony Finau and Jake Knapp. If you are Read more…
Just three weeks after the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, the PGA Tour returns to Torrey for the Genesis Invtiational, which was moved to San Diego out of respect for the victims of the wildfires in Los Angeles. This time, all the stars will be out, save for tournament host Tiger Woods, who withdrew Read more…
For the second time in four weeks, the PGA Tour returns to Torrey Pines, though this time it’s a signature event. The circumstances are singular, as the Genesis Invitational is traditionally hosted at Riviera in the Pacific Palisades, yet the California wildfires have made the decision to move the event out of Los Angeles an Read more…
