All three of these players are proven winners on the PGA Tour and that’s all it takes to have a chance at the hardware.

James Hahn is a former winner here at Riviera, his win came a couple years back in 2015. Hahn looks to make that two wins as he enters this week. Hahn is flying low under the radar coming into this event, but don’t look past the former winner as he can repeat what’s already been done.

Matt Kuchar is coming off a disappointing outing after getting cut last week at Pebble Beach. Kuch isn’t having the best of seasons, surprising given his success in the past, but looks to change that this week in search to solidify his game in time for the upcoming majors.

J.B. Holmes can put his name in the mix come Sunday if he is on his game. Just like the other two, Holmes hasn’t had an ideal start to the season. Although J.B. hasn’t posted any winning numbers or top 10’s, he still makes the cuts and is around for weekend golf.

This group isn’t making as much noise as the other powerhouse groupings are heading into this week, but don’t erase these three out of the picture just yet, they might be kissing some hardware Sunday afternoon.
