Players Championship: Top 10 power rankings for TPC Sawgrass

Rickie Fowler — 8th

Again, Fowler has been a regular contender this season — between the Waste Management Phoenix Open and the Masters, he reeled off six consecutive top 20 finishes, including a win at the Honda Classic and a tie for third at the Shell Houston Open. While he and partner Jason Day missed the cut at the recent Zurich Classic, the fact that there were no world ranking points on the line may have clouded his focus. The fact is that Fowler has been cleaning up in the standard stroke play events, and with a pair of top twos in his career at TPC Sawgrass, he knows the course well.

At fourth on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: approach-the-green and sixth in strokes gained: putting, Fowler should have multiple paths to victory this week. He’s never been a prolific winner, but a second victory at the Players Championship is definitely possible.
