Event and Course Notes

This is the fourth time TPC Craig Ranch has held this event
Despite it being a long course with tree-lined fairways and plenty of water, each of the first three events were birdie-fests
The three par fives are all reachable, and there is a drivable par four
70% of approach shots in 2023 came from at least 150 yards
I usually discount around the green in birdie-fests, but the field only hit 69% of greens in regulation in 2023, and many will be scrambling on the three par fives as well as the drivable par four
The early-week forecast is calling for heavy wind and rain all four days

What to Look For

Birdie or better %
Strokes gained approach
Strokes gained off the tee
Strokes gained putting (emphasis on bentgrass)
Strokes gained around the green
