It’s another inscrutable LIV event this week. Orange County National in Winter Park FL, located about seven miles north of Walt Disney World, is the host course for LIV Golf Orlando. The Masters next week will give a little insight into how these LIV players are holding up competitively in their bubble. Danny Lee and […]

Justin Thomas heads the field in this week’s Valspar Championship in the northern coastal area of metro Tampa-St. Petersburg. Thomas is the only member of the Hawley Ratings top 10 who is in the field — he’s seventh — and he is playing fairly well. He was just above the cut line in last week’s […]
One thing you’ve got to say for these LIV players in their second year on tour is that they are not being over-worked. Alookatgolf.com tracks almost all worldwide events with a purse of $1 million or greater, and in the 11th week of the 2023 professional golf season, most of these players have three or […]
The DP World Tour returns to South Africa to a new location for a new event this week. For the second of three straight events in Africa, it is the SDC (Skills Development Corporation) Championship at St Francis Links in the Eastern Cape, a few hundred yards from the ocean. With a $1.5 million purse, […]
How about this for a threesome in the first two rounds of the Players Championship this week? It’s Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler. Together with Patrick Cantlay, the four of them have at least for now separated themselves atop the list of the world’s best golfers. A pair of 76s in the middle […]
A field that includes none of the Hawley Ratings top 100 players, and only three of the top 200, will compete in the Magical Kenya Open Presented by Absa for a purse of $2 million this week in Nairobi, Kenya. This is the fourth iteration of the event and we’ll give a lukewarm nod toward […]
It seems logical to go with Jon Rahm until something happens to tell the world that this comet is slowing its blazing path across the golf courses of the PGA Tour. You probably already know that currently he has top-10s in 10 straight appearances, including five wins (three on the PGA Tour in 2023). We’ll […]
Let’s not kid ourselves .. this is not a good field for the Puerto Rico Open. With the $20 million Arnold Palmer Invitational occurring in Florida, and this one at less than 20 percent of that, they have attracted a field that includes only one — Erik van Rooyen — of the Hawley Ratings top […]
Question: What happens after back-to-back $20 million events in the western U.S. are followed by an $8.4 million event on the opposite coast? Answer: The top players take the slow route to Florida. And that means that this week, Sungjae Im, ranked 11th (and the only player from the Hawley Ratings top 25) tops the […]
