This opening week of the new PGA Tour season presents us with so many different narratives to consider. First off, most of the players in the upper tier are playing in next week’s Presidents Cup. This would include Max Homa, Hideki Matsuyama, Taylor Pendrith, Corey Conners, and Cameron Davis. Are they using this event as preparation for next week, or will they be motivated to try to win the Fortinet Championship this week? It is an interesting question to consider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am out on Matsuyama and Conners this week. Matsuyama has lost strokes off the tee in his last four events and has lost strokes to the field overall over the last three months. He also does not play many weak-field events such as this and has never won any of them. As for Conners, he ranks as one of the worst putters in the field on Poa annua greens losing over one stroke per round. I will be slightly overweight on Homa because his actions prove he is one of the most motivated players on Tour in every single event he plays. He has flat-out said that his goal is to be the top player in the world. His wedge game from the crucial yardage of 75-150 is vastly improved. He is also an elite putter on Poa. And of course, he won here last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
