Jon Rahm, PGA Tour


by Chris Vasile - 3/10/2020

It wasn't pretty, but Tyrrell Hatton managed to hold on for dear life after shooting a two-over 74 in the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational to claim his fifth professional victory but first PGA Tour win of his career. Hatton led the tournament by two strokes heading into Sunday after shooting a 1-over 74 during one of the toughest rounds that Bay Hill has offered up in the tournament's long history.

Aussie Adam Scott won for the second time in his career at Riviera Country Club on Sunday, taking the Genesis Invitational at 11-under 273. Only it wasn't his second win there. Officially anyways. He also won the tournament in 2005, but it technically wasn't official because it was rain-shortened to 36 holes. Pretty sure the check still cashed, though.

Canada's Nick Taylor led wire-to-wire last week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, finishing at 19-under 268 for his second career PGA Tour win and the first Canadian to ever win that tournament. Taylor's first career victory was as a rookie at the 2015 Sanderson Farms Championship when that was an opposite-field event.

It's too bad no sportsbooks offer odds on a golfer to finish inside the Top 30 instead of Top 10, because if they did I'd be betting Webb Simpson every week. He won the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Sunday in a playoff over Tony Finau - they finished 72 holes at 17 under, three shots clear of the field. Simpson looked like he might miss the cut after shooting a first-round 71 but then shot a second-round 63. He leads all Tour players (minimum of 60 rounds) in percentage of rounds at 65 or lower at 18.1 since the start of last season.

Not even into February yet, but I've predicted my first PGA Tour winner of 2020 already: Nailed Aussie Marc Leishman at +5000 to win the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego last week. He had been a runner-up at the tournament twice with a few other Top 10s mixed in so he was due.

As I write this, the PGA Tour is already two tournaments into its 2020 season with Justin Thomas winning the Sentry Tournament of Champions and Cameron Smith winning the Sony Open, both in Hawaii. I for one am excited about what lies ahead for us golf nuts as we progress through the winter months and arrive at Augusta National in April for what is sure to be another memorable Masters tournament.

PGA golfer Tiger Woods

Andrew Landry tried his darndest to give away The American Express tournament in Palm Springs on Sunday, blowing a six-shot lead but then managing to steady himself late and win at 26-under 262, two shots better than Abraham Ancer. Landry broke a tie with Ancer with a 7-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th hole and then birdied 18 for good measure.

Rickie Fowler, PGA golfer


by Alan Matthews - 1/13/2020

Australia's Cameron Smith rallied from down two shots with two holes to play on Sunday at the Sony Open in Honolulu, forcing a playoff with Brendan Steele thanks to an eight-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole. Smith then won his first-ever solo PGA Tour event -- he did win the 2017 Zurich Classic two-man team tournament -- on the first playoff hole with a two-putt par from 10 feet.

Webb Simpson, PGA golfer


by Alan Matthews - 1/6/2020

Justin Thomas kicked off 2020 in style on Sunday by beating Patrick Reed and Xander Schauffele in a playoff to win the Sentry Tournament of Champions at Kapalua. It was the third victory in the past six Tour starts for Thomas as well as the 12th of his career. That's more career victories than any other active player under 30; Thomas is 26.

Welcome to another year of PGA Tour betting coverage here at Doc's! I usually accurately predict a handful of winners every year, but want to reaffirm my belief that wagering much money on a player to win a tournament is a fool's errand. A better option is a Top-10 finish, and the best of them value-wise are head-to-head matchups in this writer's opinion. I usually do throw a few bucks each week on the potential winner.

PGA golfer Adam Scott


by Alan Matthews - 12/10/2019

Sweden's Henrik Stenson did not have a very good 2018-19 season partly due to injury, but his 2019-2020 campaign is already looking promising after Stenson won the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on Saturday over a star-studded field. It doesn't count as an official PGA Tour win, and Stenson didn't earn any FedEx Cup points, but Stenson did earn enough world golf rankings points to move from 40th to 26th.

PGA golfer Tiger Woods


by Alan Matthews - 12/2/2019

Quick recap of the RSM Classic - the last official PGA Tour event of the calendar year -- a couple of weeks ago at the Sea Island Resort in Georgia. Little-known Tyler Duncan, who entered ranked 378th in the world, beat the highest-ranked player in the field, Webb Simpson, on the second hole of a playoff for his first Tour victory.

Webb Simpson, PGA golfer


by Alan Matthews - 11/19/2019

Unless you are a devout golf fan, you probably never heard of Brendon Todd until a few weeks ago. Now he has won back-to-back PGA Tour events and is No. 1 in the FedEx Cup points. The 34-year-old American captured the alternate-event Bermuda Championship while all the top players were in China for the WGC-HSBC Champions. And then in a Monday morning finish in Mexico, Todd won the Mayakoba Golf Classic.

Jason Day, of Brisbane, Australia


by Alan Matthews - 11/12/2019

Quick recap of the WGC-HSBC Champions two weeks ago in China as the PGA Tour was off last week. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy closed the gap on top-ranked Brooks Koepka by beating Xander Schauffele in a playoff at Sheshan International. For McIlroy, named the PGA Tour Player of the Year for the 2018-19 season after winning the FedEx Cup, it was his fourth win in his last 15 starts and third World Golf Championships title (but first since 2015). McIlroy has now finished in the Top 10 in 16 of his last 21 starts on the PGA Tour.

Rory McIlroy


by Alan Matthews - 10/29/2019

The first-ever PGA Tour event in Japan will certainly be remembered for many years to come because Tiger Woods won the Zozo Championship on Sunday to tie Sam Snead with a record 82 career Tour victories. Shoot, just a couple of years ago it seemed a long shot that Tiger would catch Snead. Now it's almost a sure thing - barring severe injury, which I suppose you can't rule out regarding Tiger -- he gets past him. Woods got to 82 wins in 66 fewer tournaments than it took Snead.

Rory McIlroy


by Alan Matthews - 10/22/2019

American Justin Thomas moved up to No. 4 in the world rankings this week following Sunday's victory at the CJ Cup in Korea - his second time winning in the tournament that debuted in 2017. That year, he finished at 9-under 279 and beat Aussie Marc Leishman in a playoff. This time, Thomas shot a final-round 5-under 67 to finish at 20-under 268 to beat Danny Lee by two shots.

Hideki Matsuyama


by Alan Matthews - 10/15/2019

OK, I'll be honest in that I really didn't know much about Sunday's winner at the Houston Open, Lanto Griffin. He shot a final-round 3-under 69 to win his first PGA Tour event in his 33rd all-time start. I'll definitely be paying more attention to him now as Griffin is the only player to finish in the Top 20 in every PGA Tour event since the new season began last month. He played on the Korn Ferry Tour last year to earn his PGA Tour card back. Griffin has now made 13 straight cuts on the PGA Tour, the third longest active streak. This was his first Top 10, though.

Henrik Stenson during the third round of the World Golf Championships


by Alan Matthews - 10/8/2019

Kevin Na put on a putting clinic at TPC Summerlin last week in Las Vegas to win the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in a playoff over another former champion in Patrick Cantlay. He three-putted on the second playoff hole, and that opening is all Na needed to win the tournament for the second time. He shot 23-under 261 this time as in 2011 but didn't need a playoff back then. Wouldn't have needed one this time, either, but for a triple-bogey on the 10th hole Sunday.

Brooks Koepka


by Alan Matthews - 10/1/2019

Really cool moment on Sunday when 24-year-old Cameron Champ won the Safeway Open in Napa, Calif., and got very emotional because his grandfather is battling cancer in nearby Sacramento. Champ's grandfather is the person who introduced him to the sport. Champ drained a 3-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole for a one-stroke victory over Adam Hadwin at Silverado Resort.

Patrick Cantlay, PGA golfer


by Alan Matthews - 9/24/2019

Will the 2019-20 PGA Tour season be known as the year of the South Americans? Two weeks ago, Joaquin Niemann became the first Tour winner to hail from Chile, and on Sunday at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi, Colombia's Sebastian Munoz got his first Tour win. Munoz drained a 15-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to force a playoff with Sungjae Im and then won that playoff on the first hole with a par.
