PGA Tour Power Rankings: Arnold Palmer Invitational

Wesley Bryan — 39th

Bryan is now on a run of three consecutive PGA Tour top 10s: back-to-back fourth-place finishes at the Genesis Open and Honda Classic, followed by his tie for seventh at Innisbrook last week. He’s performed remarkably in a number of different facets of the game — in fact, he ranked seventh in strokes gained: tee-to-green and third in putts per green in regulation at the Valspar. While he’s never logged a competitive round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the bet here is that it won’t be too daunting. If he can hold his own in the Bear Trap and the Snake Pit, then a good performance at Bay Hill is well within his reach.

While he’s yet to pick up a win, Bryan has established himself as the hottest rookie on the PGA Tour. Course historians may scoff at his spot on this list, but he has enough game to bypass the Bay Hill learning curve and contend for the title this week.
