Team Season Sunday at the FM Championship started off very promising. RTL held two outright picks in great position to win: Sei Young Kim and Ruoning Yin. Yin's two under par 70s and birdie on the last hole were enough to capture a two-stroke victory over Hyo Joo Kim. Hyo Joo Kim, Sei Young Kim, and Yin battled all afternoon, but ultimately it was Ruoning's ability to play the back nine under par that led to her victory and our SIXTH win of the 2026 season. With Wyndham Clark's outright at...

All three of us went to the wyndow for Wyndham at the BMW and came away as wynners (with or without...

Youth movement The last eight PGA TOUR sanctioned tournament winners are all under the age of 30. Credit to Preferred Lines host Joe Idone for looking past the 3M Open and Jackson Koivun's incredible win.

Hammer time Michael Thorbjornsen was a popular winner at the Rocket Classic. A Sunday 63 (and back nine 30!) got the job done against Xander Schauffele and a few other contenders in Detroit. A nice return at +3500 pre-tournament, "Thor" is the third winner in four weeks under 25 years old on the PGA TOUR! The last two of those first-time winners are American (Koivun, Thorbjornsen). Could we be developing a young core of Team USA stars to carry our International Teams? Let's see how the next...
