PGA Tour Top 10 Power Rankings: Genesis Open
By Sam Belden
Sergio Garcia — 88th
Garcia’s win at the Dubai Desert Classic two weeks ago was merely a continuation of what has been week after week of strong form — since being bounced from the FedEx Cup playoffs after last September’s BMW Championship, the 37-year-old has found the top 20 in every one of his five official starts. That consistency bodes well for his chances at Riviera, where he’s posted three top 15s, including a pair of fourth-place finishes, in the last five years alone. The difficult, classic track is always a good fit for Garcia’s game. With a current ranking of fourth on the PGA Tour in greens in regulation, he looks especially well-equipped to tame it this year.
Garcia is already a winner on the other side of the pond this year, but with young countryman Jon Rahm making bank on the PGA Tour, he should have plenty of motivation to keep performing. Look for him to make a run at the title.
