Procure Championship Preview

Regardless that he completed third on the Tour Championship, California native Sahith Theegala returns to his residence state to defend his title from his first PGA Tour victory a yr in the past. Theegala arrives in good kind and because the favourite, hoping to observe in Max Homa’s footsteps by profitable this match in back-to-back years. Homa, who received this occasion in 2021 and 2022, may even tee it up this week, wishing his sport returns. Since lacking the minimize on the U.S. Open, Homa’s outcomes have been putrid, to say the least: T-61, T-70, T-43, 70, T-33.

But, Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk picked Homa to affix him in Montreal in two weeks, a controversial determination that truly aligns with what Ryder Cup Captain Zach Johnson did a yr in the past. As a substitute of choosing Keegan Bradley, a participant who had a greater summer season, Johnson picked Justin Thomas, a match-play savant and a stalwart inside the American locker room. One yr later, Furyk picked Homa, not Thomas, who had lately outperformed Homa by a large margin. However, Homa will attempt to use this week to uplift his confidence earlier than the massive tilt in opposition to the Internationals in Canada. Thomas, in the meantime, is not going to play this week.

Wyndham Clark is the one different American who will play in each Napa and Montreal.

He performed properly in each non-major because the U.S. Open, along with his greatest end being a T-7 in Memphis. He most lately completed in solo eighth at East Lake.

Of his six begins on tour this summer season, he solely missed one minimize: the 3M Open in Minnesota. Neal Shipley, who was the low newbie at Augusta Nationwide and the U.S. Open however has since turned skilled, accepted an invitation as properly.

As for non-Presidents Cup members and non-sponsor invitees, Joel Dahmen will look to make some headway in the direction of the 2025 season by handing over a stable efficiency in Napa. Dahmen is presently 116th within the FedEx Cup Fall rankings, at risk of falling out of the highest 125, one other important barometer for PGA Tour execs over these subsequent few months.
