This is the first PGA event but It has hosted PGA the Constellation Senior Players Championship in 2016 when Bernard Langer won $420K over Angel Jimenez.

MY FAVORITES My favorites are strictly based an hunches and how they have played the last 2 months. I considered oddsmakers choices, but think one of my top 5 will win.

1 Jordan Spieth(28/1) Three great finishing Rds last week, with 3 bogies, 0 DBs he wins.

2 Tommy Fleetwood(28/1) He has to win sometime, maybe this is the week.

3 Andrew Novak(65/1) Other than McIlroy & Scheffler he has been playing the best lately.

4 Ludvig Aberg(16/1) Struggled for the last 2 months except for 7th at Masters he’s due.

5 Rasmus Hojgaard(100/1) Only 1 top 10 this year but he will win soon.

6 Justin Thomas( Won at Heritage a few weeks ago and his age is back.

7 Tommy Fleetwood. He is ranked 4th to win and has to win sometime.

8 David Berger(40/1) Has played well this year and due to win one.

9 Eric van Rooyen(170/1) Second last week, would have won except for Scheffler.

10 Sam Stevens(90/1) Lesser known player who came in 3rd last week.

MY LONGSHOTS

11 Rory McIlroy(4/1) Should win, and may, but I think he is more focused on next week.

12 Shane Lowry(35/1) He has been knocking on the door all year, this may be the one.

13Tom Hoge(110/1) He has 3 top 10’s this year and is #23 FedX.

14 Ben Griffin(75/1) Got his first win with Novak this year and will win again.

15 Jason Day(50/1) He has had some great starts this year but unable to finish.

HIGH PICKS WHO WON’T WIN.

1 Colin Morikawa(14/1) Week after week in the top 5, but finds a way to lose.

2 Xander Schauffele(16/1) His game improving, but still too rusty to win.

3 Patrick Cantlay(20/1) The most inconsistent on tour and may get a top 10 but no win.

4 Hideki Matsuyama(30/1) Won at Geneses with a great final RD, thats it so far.

5 Wyndham Clark(45) Like Cantlay, too inconsistent.

7 Viktor Hovland(28/1) Won at Valsper but has not done much this year.
