2026 TOUR Championship Preview | East Lake Course Success, Field Analysis & FedExCup Finale

With the FedExCup Playoffs now reaching their conclusion, the PGA Tour heads to East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, for the TOUR Championship. The final event of the season, this week brings together the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings, with the winner taking home the FedExCup and a $10 million first prize. After the changes introduced last season, the format is once again much simpler than previous seasons. All 30 players will start at even par, meaning the player who shoots the lowest score over 72 holes will win the TOUR Championship and be crowned the FedExCup champion. There are no starting strokes based on FedExCup position, meaning Scottie Scheffler's dominance on the top of the leaderboard once again being irrelevant.

2026 Open Championship Course Success | Royal Birkdale Course Success, Field Analysis & Player Profiles

Royal Birkdale returns to the rotation for the 11th time for the 154th edition of The Open Championship. This week offers one of the purest tests of links golf in the world. Unlike many Open venues that rely on blind shots and awkward sightlines, Birkdale puts everything in front of the players. It is a course that rewards execution rather than good fortune, demanding precision, patience and strategic decision-making from tee to green. On paper, Royal Birkdale can be one of the more scoreable courses on the Open rotation when conditions are favourable, but that changes quickly once the weather turns. With fast, firm and windy conditions on the cards, this week promises to challenge every aspect of the world's best players' games.

2026 Genesis Scottish Open Preview | The Renaissance Club Course Success, Field Analysis, Player Profiles

With just one week to go before The Open Championship, we move to The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, for the Genesis Scottish Open. With this week being a co-sanctioned event between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, the Genesis Scottish Open has become one of the strongest non-major fields in golf, giving players the opportunity to adjust to links golf before the season's final major. For a lot of top players, this will be their first hit-out since the Travelers Championship, with most skipping the John Deere Classic last week in order to favour a links golf style of preparation.

2026 John Deere Classic Preview | TPC Deere Run Course Success, Field Analysis, Player Profiles

With The Open Championship now just two weeks away, the PGA Tour heads to TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, for the John Deere Classic. Despite a weakened field, there will be plenty of eyes on TPC Deere Run this week as it will mark the official first start as a professional for Jackson Koivun, who now joins the PGA Tour as a full-time player after his dominant NCAA career at Auburn. Koivun was the low amateur at the US Open two weeks ago, finishing T23 in his last start as an amateur. This week presents one of the easiest opportunities for players, often playing as one of the lowest-scoring events on the schedule. And for a lot of players, it marks one of the last full-field opportunities as we head to Scotland and England for the last major of the year, with the FedEx Cup Playoffs fast approaching.

The numbers speak for themselves here. Historically, Shinnecock has tested every strand of a golfer's game, physically and mentally, and this week will be no different.

2026 PGA Championship Betting Preview | Course Success, Player Profiles & Betting Angles at Aronimink

After being at the familiar and not so friendly confines of Quail Hollow last week, we find ourselves at a course where we are probably at the other end of the scale in terms of comfort in knowing what course success looks like. With only three PGA Tour events being held at Aronimink Golf Club previously, and just the one after the Gil Hanse redesign, this week does present a really interesting test from a betting perspective. Simply put, the betting markets will be the most subjective we see for a Major Championship for a while. How someone views success here is going to be different to the next.

2026 PGA Championship Preview | Aronimink Golf Club Course Guide, Field & Recent History

Hopefully it is sunny in Philadelphia! PGA Championship week is here as we head to Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, for the second Major Championship of the season. Players will be faced with bunkers, tight fairways, thick rough, and large, elevated, undulating greens, which will provide shorter but complicated approach play. How complicated? That will really depend on how the weather develops throughout the week and if they can make Aronimink fast and firm.

2026 Truist Championship Preview | Quail Hollow Club Guide, Field Analysis, Player Profiles

After being played at the Philadelphia Cricket Club last season, the Truist Championship returns to the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. Quail Hollow was used on the PGA Tour schedule last year as host of the PGA Championship, and while we will see a rolled back version from that PGA Championship, it will still play as one of the PGA Tour's heavyweights this season. Simply put, it is a course that demands power, precision and patience across the week, most holes will play over par and it will force players to grind from the outset.

2026 RBC Heritage Preview | Harbour Town Course Guide, Conditions, Player Profiles

We are swapping a green jacket for a red tartan plaid blazer, as the players turn their attention to Harbour Town, one of the most unique tests players see all year, with a layout that strips golf back to its fundamentals. This Pete Dye course comes in at just over 7,100 yards. Harbour Town is one of the shortest courses on the calendar, filled with tree-lined fairways, sharp doglegs, and overhanging branches that force players to club down constantly. With driver being taken out of hand on a lot of holes, the importance of positioning off the tee is elevated.

2026 Masters Preview | Trends, Player Profiles, Conditions, Predictions

Augusta isn't a course that looks overly intimidating, with wide fairways and minimal rough and a layout that the players know with repeat and similar pin placements. How the course plays, is the complete opposite, with Augusta being all about precision, discipline and patience. If you get out of position, Augusta will punish you quickly.
