The PGA Tour is just a week away from The Players, and some of the Tour’s best are preparing at the Wells Fargo Championship. Typically, Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte hosts the event, but the club is the PGA Championship host this year. That means Eagle Point Golf club in Wilmington has become the one-year host of the event.
Dustin Johnson returns after missing the Masters with a steps problem, while Jon Rahm looks to pick up a second win this season.
Here are our top five players for this week:
1. Dustin Johnson – Johnson is coming back after Slipgate at the Masters, but the injury shouldn’t have long-term lingering effects. He’s winning anywhere and everywhere, so, barring major rust, this is a rightful position.
2. Jon Rahm – Rahm slid down the leaderboard on Sunday at the Masters, but that’s OK. He’s been playing great golf, and he got a good three weeks to rest for a big stretch.
3. Adam Scott – Scott finished T-9 at the Masters, and not a whole lot of people noticed. The Aussie is starting to wade his way nicely into the season.
4. Wesley Bryan – Bryan wasn’t great at the Zurich Classic, but he did win in his last individual start. Worth a look this week, though I think he’s super sneaky next week at The Players.
5. Kevin Kisner – Kisner was an assassin at the Zurich, and he basically carried Scott Brown to the playoff. Not as many have noticed as they should, but he’s been great all year.
