Sleeper Picks: Travelers Championship

Aaron Wise (+6600) … Because, well, golf, in recent starts when he was a Sleeper (Valero Texas Open) and in the Power Rankings (AT&T Byron Nelson), he’s made the cut but underperformed. However, sprinkled around those Lone Star State stops was a T9 at Quail Hollow, a T17 at Kiawah Island and a T9 at Muirfield Village in what was his most recent. With crisp irons that have him eighth on the PGA TOUR in greens hit and contribute to his position of 23rd in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, it’s no wonder why his game travels. He got his first taste of the race track that is TPC River Highlands with four sub-70s a year ago, but he settled for a share of 46th place. With that experience and his recent surge, he’s expected to improve on that result to punctuate his birthday week. He turned 25 on Monday. Talor Gooch (+12500) … No matter his odds or his Official World Golf Ranking (70th), when you slot as a Sleeper for the fifth time in a season, it means you’re either doing enough to warrant persistent attention or not doing enough to climb the ladder. Or both. The 29-year-old last landed inside this focus at the AT&T Byron Nelson and finished T39. It’s among 17 cuts made in 23 starts this season. With three top 10s and another four top 20s, including in his last two starts, he’s 54th in the FedExCup. He’s also 93 starts and deep into fourth season on the PGA TOUR career without a victory. He hasn’t come close at TPC River Highlands where he’s 0-for-2, but he’s back for more with one of the most balanced skill sets in the field and, frankly, only one objective – to win. C.T. Pan (+15000) … It was just a month ago that he appeared here for the Charles Schwab Challenge and finished T32. It’s one of four consecutive paydays that have fortified his position to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs. Currently 95th in points with a pair of top 10s among five top 25s, he has to picks his spots because he’ll never win a long-drive contest. Not that he can’t hold his own, but a sub-6,900 yard walk like TPC River Highlands presents as more gettable prey for his sharper skills to attack. He placed T8 here in 2017 and T25 in his debut in 2015. David Lipsky (15000) … This is a bonus start thanks to a T8 in what was a bonus start at Congaree via a sponsor exemption two weeks ago. He’s seventh on the Korn Ferry Tour points list, so the well-traveled 32-year-old is playing on the equivalent of house FedExCup points before he’ll compete for official points as a PGA TOUR rookie in 2021-22. In the expanded 2020-21 KFT season, he’s recorded one win and a trio of runner-up finishes among six top 10s and a dozen top 25s. Austin Eckroat (+25000) … After Davis Thompson (RSM) and John Pak (Palmetto) missed the cuts in their Sleepers debuts, it stands to reason that the third member of what could evolve into a memorable Class of 2021 is the charm, although Eckroat also missed the cut at the Valero in his appearance in this space that week. Each is among PGA TOUR University’s top five that has fully exempt status on the Korn Ferry Tour this summer, but only Eckroat is doing damage early on. In his professional debut two weeks ago, he finished seventh at the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation where he led the field in putting. He then chased it with a T13 in Wichita with another superb performance on the greens. The Oklahoma State product will need to dial in his irons at TPC River Highlands to give his wand a chance, but he ranked T4 in greens in regulation en route to a T12 at Mayakoba last fall where roommate and former OSU teammate Viktor Hovland prevailed. Odds were sourced on Tuesday, June 22 at 5 a.m. ET. For live odds visit betmgm. NOTE: Sleeper is a relative term, so Rob uses unofficial criteria to determine who qualifies. Each of the following usually is determined to be ineligible for this weekly staple: Winners of the tournament on the current host course; winners in the same season; recent major champions; top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking; recent participants of team competitions.

World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions canceled for 2022World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions canceled for 2022

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida – PGA TOUR officials, on behalf of the Federation of PGA Tours, HSBC and IMG, today announced that the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions will not be played as scheduled in 2022. The decision was made in conjunction with the China Golf Association due to ongoing COVID-19 related restrictions. “We have worked with all Tours, as well as the China Golf Association, on the viability of hosting the WGC-HSBC Champions this fall, but unfortunately the logistical implications forced the difficult decision to cancel the event,” said PGA TOUR Senior Vice President, International, Christian Hardy. “We are thankful for HSBC’s partnership during these trying times as we continue to navigate the changing COVID-19 climate.” With the cancelation of the WGC-HSBC Champions, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship will be played as a stand-alone event with full FedExCup points and an elevated purse of $6.5 million. The tournament returns to Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda, the week of Oct. 24-30.

U.S. Open tee times, Rounds 1 & 2U.S. Open tee times, Rounds 1 & 2

Brooks Koepka goes for the three-peat. Tiger Woods returns to the site of his masterpiece performance. Phil Mickelson attempts to complete the career Grand Slam. There are plenty of storylines for next week’s U.S. Open at arguably the world’s most scenic course. Six hundred FedExCup points are available for the winner, as well.

Si Woo Kim (39): The 2017 PLAYERS champion has four top-10s this season. Rickie Fowler (8): The 2015 PLAYERS champion also won this year’s Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Kevin Kisner (19): Kisner picked up his first World Golf Championship at this year’s Dell Technologies Match Play. Kisner and Thomas were teammates on the 2017 Presidents Cup. Bryson DeChambeau (27): The five-time PGA TOUR winner also was the 2015 U.S. Amateur champion. Thursday tee time: 11:02 a.m. off No. 10. Friday tee time: 4:47 p.m. off No. 1. Dustin Johnson (5): Not only has he won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am two times, but he was the 54-hole leader at the 2010 U.S. Open. He shot a final-round 82, but got his U.S. Open title six years later. Phil Mickelson (24): He picked up his record-tying fifth AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am victory earlier this year. Now he’s trying to complete the Career Grand Slam by winning the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. He finished T4 at the 2010 U.S. Open. Graeme McDowell (53): The 2010 U.S. Open champion won earlier this year at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship. Thursday tee time: 11:13 a.m. off No. 10.

Adam Scott (15): The former PLAYERS champion has two runners-up this season, at the Farmers Insurance Open and Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide. Matt Kuchar (1): He leads the FedExCup standings after two wins this season. He also popularized the arm-lock putting method on the PGA TOUR that Simpson employs and Scott used earlier this year. Kuchar is the 2012 PLAYERS champion. Thursday tee time: 4:47 p.m. off No. 10.  Friday tee time: 11:02 a.m. off No. 1. Jordan Spieth (65): He won the 2015 U.S. Open en route to claiming the FedExCup.

Justin Rose (10): The reigning FedExCup champion already won once this year on the California coast, at the Farmers Insurance Open. He is the 2013 U.S. Open champion.

Rose swerves political controversy over Saudi eventRose swerves political controversy over Saudi event

Top-ranked golfer Justin Rose opted against delving into the political ramifications of the decision to stage a European Tour event in Saudi Arabia, saying Wednesday he was happy to play in the tournament to ”support growing the game. The Saudi International starts Thursday amid scrutiny of the kingdom’s human-rights record and condemnation following the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October. The world’s top three players – Rose, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson – are in a strong field that also includes the last two Masters champions, Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia.
