After a brief hiatus following the 2024 Tour Championship at East Lake, the PGA Tour is back in action in Napa, California at the Procore Championship (formerly known as the Fortinet Championship). While many of the world’s top players are on vacation, there are still some big names to watch at Silverado Resort.
Defending champion Sahith Theegala, along with former champions Max Homa, Wyndham Clark, Corey Conners, and Min Woo Lee are among the highlights of the field. Homa, who is one of the betting favorites at 22/1, has been struggling with his game in recent months. His last top-30 finish was back in June at The Memorial, and this will be his final start before the Presidents Cup. Theegala, on the other hand, is coming off a strong performance in Atlanta where he finished third.
The Procore Championship will be held on Silverado Resort’s North Course, which measures 7,123 yards and has a par of 72. The course has a rich history at the event, with players’ average finish positions and “Strokes Gained” per round listed since 2015.
Several players are among the top contenders according to betting odds, with Theegala and Clark at +1200, Conners at +1400, Lee and Homa at +2200, and many others in the mix. J.J. Spaun, Brendon Todd, Eric Cole, and Tom Hoge are some of the players to consider for potential victory based on their recent performances and history at Silverado Resort.
Spaun is coming off some strong finishes in his last few outings, Todd has shown promise with multiple T-12 finishes, Cole has been consistent with four top 20s in his last seven starts, and Hoge’s approach to the game could be a factor given the smaller greens at Silverado. Hossler, who shot a 60 in the opening round of the Wyndham Championship, also has a good track record at Silverado Resort and could be a contender for his first Tour win, especially considering his California roots.
