Players Championship sleepers to watch
Jack Hirsh, aide editor:Rickie Fowler Who claims no? The 2015 Players champ is playing his ideal golf of the years, having actually ended up co-runner-up at the Zozo early in the period and also has 2 various other leading 10s and also a T11 at theFarmers He’s back in the leading 100 of the OWGR. His outcomes are blended at TPC Sawgrass with the win and also second-place surface being his only leading 10s, yet with his swing modifications enhancing each week, his ball-striking can simply be rounding right into kind sufficient to obtain him back in the victor’s circle.
Ryan Barath, devices editor:Jason Day After a variety of years residing in nearly total obscurity on the PGA Tour and also handling injury and also swing modifications, Jason has actually silently relocated his back right into the the leading 50– presently resting at 43rd on the planet, up from 112th at completion of 2022. Beyond 3 occasions going back to September, he has actually not ended up beyond the leading 20 in a PGA Tour occasion.
Jessica Marksbury, elderly editor: Shane Lowry He was T14 at the Genesis, T5 at theHonda He has an online reputation as a mill and also plays well on challenging programs. And after a 67th-place surface at Bay Hill recently, I assume he’s prime to offer Sawgrass a great run.
So … suppose a LIV gamer desired back to PGA Tour? Max Homa has some words
Nick Piastowski
Josh Sens, elderly author: Justin Suh Suh has actually been a stud at every degree and also currently looks comfy early in his newbie year onTour He obtained himself right into the search a number of weeks back at the Honda and also he stood up well at an incredibly challengingBay Hill A tested skill with young nerves and also a syrupy swing? At 150-1, I’ll pay some coin.
Josh Berhow, handling editor: Corey Conners Another person that has actually corresponded this year. He’s played this just 3 times yet has actually ended up 7th and also 26th to choose one 41st-place surface, which can be found in his launching in 2019. He’ll require to play much better on and also around the eco-friendlies, yet he’s obtained way too much video game to just have one PGA Tour win.
Alan Bastable, managing editor: Matt Kuchar Kuch– a previous Players champ– has actually been playing sneaky-well this period with 2 leading 10s (Sony Open, Genesis) in 5 begins. For an individual that’s had as much success as he’s had at Sawgrass– 6 top-20 coatings– you would certainly be smart to throw a couple of dollars on him at 190-1.
