#9: Both first-timers at Tiburon, Charley Hoffman and Daniel Berger will need to learn it quickly if they want a shot at winning.
This is an all-first-timer pairing, so it’ll be interesting to see how Berger and Hoffman take to the unfamiliar course. With top 20 finishes in six of his last seven starts, the former has the hotter hand. Meanwhile, Hoffman has missed his first two cuts to start the new season. Both made the Tour Championship back in September, but this will be a great opportunity to prove that they’ve truly reached the next level.
