After a very strong field that included 49 of the Top 50 in the world in Mexico, we aren't nearly as fortunate this week as we have just two of the Top 10 with Justin Thomas(#7) and Henrik Stenson(#6). Three more inside the Top 20 including Patrick Reed(#12), Bubba Watson(#16) and Matt Kuchar(#20) and just 15 of the Top 50 in the world. This means we are going to see a ton of golfers who will come with much higher salaries than their season average. Before getting into the picks let's take a look at the course and key stats.   The Course Innisbrook Resort (Copperhead Course) Par 71 - 7,340 Yards Greens - Bermuda *Click to enlarge* The Copperhead course is considered one of the toughest tests in golf outside the Majors and the scorecard doesn't quite tell the entire story.  The first thing we notice is that Copperhead is unique with five Par 3's and all five come in at 195 yards or greater. Take...

You may not recognize the name as it will be the first time since 2006 that the first WGC event of the calendar year won't be held at the Blue Monster at Trump National Doral. Could it be more ironic that the event was moved from one of POTUS, Donald Trump's most famous courses to Mexico? How many times do you think he or the Blue Monster will be mentioned this week? I am taking bets all week. All political talk aside, we have a very interesting tournament to break down. First of all, we get an elite field that includes 49 of the world's Top 50 players. Jason Day withdrew early in the week. It will be Dustin Johnson's first start defending the #1 spot in the World Golf Rankings and it appears the trend of the elite players winning will continue this week. Since rookie John Rahm won the Farmers Insurance Open back at the end of January, we have seen wins from world #4 Hideki Matsuyama, #6 Jordan Spieth, now #1 Dustin Johson and #9 Rickie Fowler who won the Honda Classic this past weekend. The most interesting part about this week WGC event is the course which will...

It starts with the Honda Classic this week hosted at the PGA National from Palm Beach Gardens. Ask most of the field if they are excited to switch from the bumpy POA greens in Cali to the grainy Bermuda greens in Florida and YES will be a popular answer. Before getting into the stats, let's take a look at the course. The Course PGA National(Champion) - Palm Beach Gardens, FL Par 70 - 7,140 Yards Greens - Bermuda Grass *Click to enlarge* The Stats After a few weeks of targeting bombers fairly heavily, we get a course that is, for the most part, "less than driver" off the tee which is going to put a ton of emphasis on accuracy, both off the tee and approaching the green. Looking back at the full field results from the previous three years there were three stats(season long ranks) that really stood out and were correlated each year. Guys that ranked high in Strokes Gained Approach, Par 4 Scoring and Bogey Avoidance seem to have the most success. When looking at the correlations it will always be subjective as the correlations are comparing season long stats and we all know...

Genesis Open Congratulations! That is for all of you who made it through the first quarter of the PGA Tour season(including wrap-around portion). We have seen a little bit of everything so far like Justin Thomas winning three times including a Hawaii sweep. We also saw two rookies(Cody Gribble & John Rahm) get their first wins, a 23-year veteran(Rod Pampling) get his first win in 11 years and two other players (Pat Perez & Brendan Steele) getting their first wins in 5+ years. And most recently, we have seen the #5(Hideki Matsuyama) and #6(Jordan Spieth) players in the world win the last two tournaments. Oh Canada! As a Canadian, I would be making a huge mistake not mentioning the plethora of talent coming from North of the border and their early 2017 success.  It starts with Mackenzie Hughes who, in his rookie season, has already picked up his first win(RSM Classic) and has made eight of 10 cuts with two Top 10's and four Top 25's. Adam Hadwin came oh so close to his first career win in his third full season tour after becoming the first ever Canadian on Tour and only the 9th ever to shoot...

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM We are back to a three course rotation this week. Yay! Can you hear my excitement all the way up here in freezing cold Saskatchewan? Didn't think so. My wife couldn't even hear my excitement writing this and she is right beside me. Anyways here is a look at the three courses for the At&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM: The Courses *Click to enlarge*   The biggest defense for all three of these coastal courses is the wind. Looking back at the final scores over the past few years we see some dramatic changes. Last year it was Vaughn Taylor winning with a -17, the year before Snedeker won with a -22 score but in 2014, with howling winds and some rain on Sunday, we seen Jimmy Walker win with a -11 winning score.  I am expecting this week to be somewhere closer to 2014 as Pebble Beach has been receiving rain since the weekend and it's expected to continue through Friday. The winds are also expected to be in the 10-15 mph range for most of the first three days with what looks to be a complete change in direction from Thursday to Saturday(cut day). All three courses use POA Annua greens. For a look at some of the POA Positive players for this week...

So ya, I am pretty disappointed to once again not be in Scottsdale, Arizona for the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Ended up not being able to get the wife's passport in time. And for those of you asking why not just go without her?  Well, after three consecutive trips to Las Vegas without her over the last few years it was the WMPO or my marriage. Haha. The edge goes to my wonderful wife no doubt about it! Ok on to the preview.   This week the PGA Tour heads to TPC Scottsdale for the Waste Management Phoenix Open. It is an event like no other on the PGA mainly due to the wild Par 3, 16th hole which at times sounds more like an outdoor rock concert than a golf hole. You won't find a marshall holding up a QUIET sign, you won't see players asking fans to move or be silent. No, you will just hear roar after roar for those who hit the green and finish with a birdie. Even louder, you will hear BOO after BOO for those who miss the green or, worse yet, three putt. Before getting into the overall course breakdown and key stats, let's take a look at the construction behind the 16th hole for this tournament. The Course TPC Scottsdale - Scottsdale, Arizona Par 71 -  7,266 Yards Greens - Bermuda    TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course is a Par 71 setup that stretches 7,266 yards through desert terrain. Being a Par 71, there are only three par's this week and all of them come in around 550 yards and very reachable for almost the entire field....
