PGA Tour – Five Genesis Open Groups to Watch Thursday & Friday

4. Sergio Garcia, Jim Furyk and Phil Mickelson, 1st round tee time 7:22am ET

Sergio Garcia is coming off a fresh win last week at the Dubai Desert Classic on the European Tour. The Spaniard has fastened five consecutive top-20 finishes, continuing to peek his game at the right moment. Garcia has had tremendous success on the PGA Tour, tallying 9 career wins and 94 top-10 finishes. Sergio is playing in his third event on Tour this season, already having a top-10 finish at the WGC-HSBC Champions back in October. Look for Sergio to hit plenty of greens and fairways this week in route to continue his streak of hot play as well as crack another top-20 finish, at least.

Jim Furyk played in his first event of the calendar year last week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, finishing in the back of the pack at T-66th. Furyk played in both the OHL Classic at Mayakoba and The RSM Classic in the early stages of the season, his best finished coming at the RSM Classic in which he placed 6th. Come Sunday, we may see Jim’s unique swing as we watch him compete for some hardware.

Phil Mickelson is coming off a disappointing outing last week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Mickelson, a four-time winner at the event, finished in 65th place. Lefty is looking to get his game back on track this week and their is no better place to do it than Riviera. The 42-time PGA Tour winner is still a fan favorite and wherever Phil goes heads turn. Something tells me the Tour Vet still has some gas left in the tank, let’s make it 43 wins.

This group can be streamed through the PGA Tour live app, as they are one-of-two morning featured groups.
