Jordan Spieth is the most recent winner on the PGA Tour, taking home his 9th career win last week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Spieth believes that Riviera is more suited towards his game saying so himself, “Plays more to my strength, I think,” said Spieth. Jordan has had a massive start to the season picking up a win and 4 top 10’s in four events played. There is no doubt in my mind that the Texas Longhorn will be in the mix come Sunday afternoon.

Bubba Watson is a two-time winner here at this event, as well as last years defending champion. Bubba has had a quit season thus far, but look for the defending champ to make some noise come the final round. Just like Johnson, Bubba can over power this golf course, much success here has been by the long bombers. Look for that flashy pink driver come Sunday, your going to be seeing a lot of it.

Bill Haas won this event back in 2012. Haas is one of the top guys on Tour when it comes to the consistency of his game. Bill has had an average season so far, making all the cuts but only has one top-10 to show for it. This could be Haas’ breakout week.
