Predictions for the Week

🏆 Winner Prediction: Sahith Theegala (OWGR 19)

Theegala came so close to winning here in 2022, and his aggressive style fits TPC Scottsdale perfectly. He’s been playing consistently well, and this feels like the perfect spot for his next PGA Tour victory.

🎯 Top 10 Finishers

• Justin Thomas (15) – He thrives in rowdy environments, and his game is rounding into form. Expect JT to be in contention on Sunday.
• Sam Burns (24) – Ball-striking is 🔥, and he can handle the pressure of a packed stadium hole.
• Min Woo Lee (52) – A fan favorite who loves playing in big moments. He could be a sneaky top-10 lock.

📈 Top 20 Finishers

• Sepp Straka (16) – His consistency continues to impress, and his iron play should help him score well here.
• Sungjae Im (21) – Always a reliable pick to make the weekend, and his steady game should land him inside the top 20.
• Rickie Fowler (85) – The 2019 champion here is looking to get back in form, and this is the perfect event for him to do so.

❌ Missed Cut Predictions

• Daniel Berger (120) – Still trying to find his game after a long injury layoff, this course might be too much of a test right now.
• Chan Kim (160) – Limited PGA Tour experience, and with the depth of this field, he might struggle to make the weekend.
