When his other clubs came around, his putting faltered, ranking just 55th on the greens Sunday.Īt some point, all of the parts are going to be locked in at the same time - and this feels like the right week to expect it. Last week is a perfect example: While his performance was terrific tee-to-green in Sunday’s final round, for the week he ranked a mere 27th in Strokes Gained: Approach. Whether he is is subject to debate - I’ll still give that edge to Jon Rahm - but it’s the mission itself which is more relevant, as he continues to contend with something less than his most well-rounded game, posting finishes of 2nd-4th-9th-4th so far this year. I still want investments on each of those guys, as I’ll list below, but this might be a week where we don’t want to overthink it.įresh off a playoff loss at last week’s WM Phoenix Open, Cantlay seems like he’s on a mission to prove that he’s the world’s best player right now. That felt too much like contrarianism just for the sake of it. Holmes, and considered taking a shot here on Corey Conners. Looking further down the board, I examined the pre-tourney prices of past winners, which over the last four years ranged from 30-1 (Adam Scott) to 100-1 (J.B.

The timing extends past just riding that wave of momentum. Instead, we’ll be treated to a stringent test of golf on a course which will assess every part of a player’s game, exposing any inefficiencies. No, Riviera Country Club won’t afford the magnificent ocean backdrops of Torrey Pines or Pebble Beach, nor will it provide memories of beer raining from the sky like TPC Scottsdale. That won’t change this week, as all 10 of the top-10 players in the Official World Golf Ranking will be in the Genesis Invitational field at one of the game’s enduringly resplendent venues. It might be difficult to find a lull in the PGA TOUR’s annual schedule when the product seems more ordinary than extraordinary, but it’s fairly simple to realize that the current sequence of events is not one easily infiltrated. I’ll be honest here: I’m not exactly sure when the best time to recruit the world’s premier golfers and promote a rival golf league largely based on promises of massive contracts to sportswash prior human rights misdeeds really is, but during a stretch that’s included brilliant golf porn in the form of gorgeous scenery and unparalleled spectator support at the game’s biggest party, this probably ain’t it.
