Current Form Picks
The English tied for fourth at the Memorial Tournament last and that followed fifth at the Truist, albeit with a missed cut at the US PGA Championship in between.
The American was third at Memorial on his first appearance since winning the CJ Cup Byron Nelson last month. He looks focused, confident and determined to win again.
Another Englishman in form stateside, Rose was tied for 12th last week on his first appearance since making the top 10 at the US PGA Championship. After finishing two shots off McIlroy at the Masters, and subsequently enduring a couple of disappointing events, Rose looks sharp again.
Course Form Picks
Second when the event was held here last year, Burns looks primed to challenge again after finishing tied for fourth at Memorial last week.
The defending champion is a generous price as he returns to the scene of his 2025 triumph. He's made the cut at five consecutive events, with the standout in that run his tied 16th at the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town.
The American finished sixth at last year's event and arrives in decent nick after a top 20 at the Charles Schwab on his last appearance. At an event where course form is thin on the ground, Putnam may appeal at a big price.
