PGA Tour Power Rankings: Shriners Hospitals for Children Open
By Sam Belden
After a pair of overseas events, the PGA Tour heads to Nevada, where Smylie Kaufman will defend his title at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
After a trio of quirky events, the PGA Tour returns to business as usual this week. The Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, held yearly at Las Vegas’ TPC Summerlin, is your standard tournament — no reduced field, no alternate event, no bells and whistles, no nothing.
With the exception of last week’s alternate Sanderson Farms Championship, the Shriners will feature the weakest field to this point on the schedule for the new PGA Tour season. But even with the relative lack of big names, you shouldn’t have any trouble identifying a few of your favorites set to tee off this Thursday.
Some of the PGA Tour’s notable players have already arrived in the Silver State, so let’s dive right in. Here are the ten best bets for success at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
