Possibility of a 3-wood change in Tiger's bag

Kevin Streelman … Nothing is as reliable in the long-term like the milkshakes in which the players at Muirfield Village can indulge, but he’s on a similar trajectory. Since 2015, he’s gone T18-T8-T13 at the Memorial. And that’s with rounds of par or worse in each finale that he started inside the top eight on the leaderboard. Three top 10s in his last 10 starts this season and ranks fifth in greens in regulation, T24 in proximity, 23rd in strokes gained: tee-to-green and 14th in scrambling. He’s also resided inside the top four in bogey avoidance for more than four months. Luke List … It’s been four weeks since he placed T9 at Quail Hollow, so don’t forget about this guy. He’s scattered five top 10s this season across varied tracks, including Bay Hill and Harbour Town. That kind of diversification comps to fellow long hitter Tony Finau, but List is still chasing his first PGA TOUR victory. Despite hosting one of the deepest fields every season, Muirfield Village has not discriminated against breakthroughs. From 2014-2016, Hideki Matsuyama, David Lingmerth and William McGirt, respectively, celebrated their first TOUR titles on the course. List is fourth in strokes gained: tee-to-green, 20th in adjusted scoring and T17 in par-5 scoring. Bill Haas … Save a T7 at Harbour Town, he’s struggled in finding a groove all season. While his early scuffling was surprising, it’s been understandable since the fatal crash in which he was a passenger in mid-February. Perhaps a T14 at the Fort Worth Invitational was the turning point. (He’s 130th in the FedExCup standings and not yet fully exempt for next season.) Like his history at Colonial, he’s enjoyed multiple strong showings at Muirfield Village. Since 2013, he’s 4-for-5 with two top 10s and another pair of top 25s. C.T. Pan … It’s been three years since he turned professional, so the newest fans of golf likely aren’t familiar with his pedigree at the University of Washington. For some, noteworthy success on this stage is immediate, but for others, success is realized in a series of checkpoints passed to trigger an upward swing and achieve career consistency. In just his second season with a TOUR card, the diminutive 26-year-old profiles as a horse for courses, but his accuracy on approach can play anywhere. Finished T40 in his debut at Muirfield Village last year and has thrived at Torrey Pines South, another of the bigger ballparks on the schedule where par demands respect. Currently 10th on the PGA TOUR in greens in regulation but still without a top 10 on the season, although he has logged five top 25s, including a T20 at Colonial last week where he closed with a season-low-tying 65. Cameron Davis … The 23-year-old Aussie has been on a barnstorming excursion for six months. Upon arrival at his national open in late November, he sat 1,494th in the Official World Golf Ranking. He then prevailed by one over Matt Jones and Jonas Blixt. Cameron Smith finished fourth, Jason Day fifth and Jordan Spieth eighth. Davis then took his emerging talent to Singapore and opened 2018 with a T6. After adding a T7 at the New Zealand Open, he’s been a regular on the Web.com Tour where he started the season with conditional status. A T17 in Mississippi and a T4 in Knoxville preceded victory in Nashville this past Sunday. Now 105th in the OWGR, he was already in the field at Muirfield Village on the strength of his play abroad. In his PGA TOUR debut at the 2015 OHL Classic at Mayakoba, he placed T15.
