PGA Tour Top 10 Power Rankings: WGC-Mexico Championship
By Sam Belden
Henrik Stenson — 55th
Since returning from the knee injury that sidelined him from the last two rounds of the FedEx Cup playoffs, Stenson has been relentless, finishing inside the top 10 in every one of his six starts. That stretch includes runner-up finishes at the WGC-HSBC Champions, the Hero World Challenge and his most recent event, the Dubai Desert Classic — simply put, he’s a threat to win every time he tees it up. He’s also found the top 11 in four of his last six World Golf Championship starts, so he’s established a track record of success against the best of the best.
While he hasn’t been especially busy in the new year, Stenson is a permanently dangerous player, one who demands our attention every time he tees it up. On an unfamiliar course that appears to place a premium on ball striking, you have to think that the 40-year-old will rise to the occasion.
