Jake Knapp returns to defend his first PGA TOUR title and comes into the week off his best result of the season, a T17 at The Genesis Invitational. Akshay Bhatia also had his best result of 2025 last week, finishing T9 at Torrey Pines. Bhatia will be looking to better his 2023 result at Vidanta where he finished fourth in his first appearance. Danish twins Rasmus and Nicolai Højgaard are both in action in this week, with Rasmus finishing T12 at the WM Phoenix Open while Nicolai finished T36 in Phoenix, the only other start for the European Ryder Cup Team member in 2025. There are more than a half-dozen PGA TOUR winners from 2024 in the field who are looking for a return to the winner’s circle in 2025, including Matt McCarty who earned a Three-Victory Promotion on the Korn Ferry Tour and captured the Black Desert Championship in just his third career TOUR start. Other names to look out for include Joel Dahmen, Aaron Rai, Emiliano Grillo, Erik van Rooyen and Kevin Yu.
