This week the US PGA Tour is playing it's 4th and final major of the year, the US PGA Championship. The tournament is being held in Minnesota at Hazeltine, which is where Rich Beem won the event in 2002.
Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the US PGA Championship.
# | Player | CLi | |
1 | Tiger Woods | 1.00 | |
2 | Retief Goosen | 15.10 | |
3 | Steve Stricker | 15.20 | |
4 | David Toms | 17.00 | |
5 | Brandt Snedeker | 18.00 | |
6 | Bo Van Pelt | 20.00 | |
7 | Phil Mickelson | 20.30 | |
8 | Stewart Cink | 20.50 | |
9 | John Senden | 22.30 | |
10 | Kenny Perry | 23.70 | |
11 | Woody Austin | 27.30 | |
12 | Nathan Green | 28.80 | |
13 | Lucas Glover | 29.70 | |
14 | Hunter Mahan | 30.80 | |
15 | Jim Furyk | 31.10 |
I am going to go with the first 4 players in the CLi rankings: Woods, Goosen, Stricker, and Toms. Then I am going to skip down the 8th player and pick Cink. He played well at Hazeltine in 2002 and is playing well this summer, having won the British Open.
Note: It is hard to pass over Mickelson. It was a choice between Toms and Mickelson. I decided to take a chance on Toms to see if he can rekindle his 2001 win at the US PGA Championship.
Below are my 5 picks for the US PGA Championship:
