The PGA Tour heads west to Las Vegas for its annual stop at TPC Summerlin, home of the Shriners Children\u2019s Open. Located about 20 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip at the base of the Red Rock Canyon, TPC Summerlin is a desert parkland course that plays at around 2,700 feet of elevation. Known as one of the easiest courses on Tour, players will have to bring a \u201cscoring\u201d mindset from the first tee on Thursday, not just to be in the mix come Sunday, but also just to make the cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship, the level of competition takes a huge jump with 12 of the top 50 players in the world heading to Vegas. Overall, there is a very balanced upper-tier headlined by Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa and Sungjae Im. Ranked fourth in the world, Cantlay is one of the stalwarts of this event as he won his first PGA Tour victory here in 2018 and has had three other top-8 finishes since. His Presidents Cup teammate, Max Homa, who went undefeated at Quail Hollow will also return to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Im, he returns to Summerlin to defend his title two weeks after his own quality performance in the Presidents Cup. Joining him in Las Vegas will be more than half of his Presidents Cup teammates in Cam Davis, Si Woo Kim, Tom Kim, K.H. Lee, Mito Pereira, Taylor Pendrith and Christiaan Bezuidenhout. Five major champions are also included in the field along with more than a dozen players with connections to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shriners Children\u2019s Open has been a breakthrough event for many different players who earned their first Tour victory here including Tiger Woods. There will be 144 golfers in the field with 500 FedExCup points and a two-year PGA Tour exemption on the line. The cut line on Friday will include the top 65 and ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keys to Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At TPC Summerlin, birdies and eagles, and no bogeys are the name of the game at this track meet of a golf event. Golfers will most likely need to be at least 5-under to make the cut and around 20-under to put themselves in contention on Sunday. The ease of scoring here is something to behold. TPC Summerlin has the highest Greens in Regulation and Birdie or Better % on Tour. It has the fourth fewest bogeys, the fifth easiest Par 5s, is the third easiest to gain off the tee, and the eighth easiest to gain putting. Have to put the pedal down here from the opening tee shot on Thursday. 2 years ago the cut line was 7-under. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing to keep an eye on that might make the course play more difficult this year is that new grass was laid on the entire course. New turf is usually going to play very firm with more drives bounding through the fairways and into the rough. The greens will probably be extra bouncy. Because the summer has been so hot in the Vegas area, the rough is also the thickest it’s ever been here at 2.5 inches. Also, because of the climate and the newness of the greens, they will not be cut as much and will be on the slower side at 11 on the stimp meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
