Following a thrilling Presidents Cup, the PGA Tour travels west to Las Vegas for the 2022 Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin this week. The Shriners Children’s Open, a fixture of the fall swing for almost 40 years, has witnessed a lot of Tiger Woods’ maiden PGA Tour triumph in 1996.
The 2022-23 season’s brightest group of players are on display in this year’s field, as world #4 Patrick Cantlay will serve as the tournament’s star player and be joined by Sungjae Im, the defending champion. Fellow Presidents Cup members Max Homa, Tom Kim, Cameron Davis, and sensational newcomer Taylor Montgomery round out what is a strong top of the field.
Others will try to keep the good shoots going while some will try to start their seasons off strong. The week before the Presidents Cup, Homa won his first championship of the year at the Fortinet Championship, while Montgomery earned two top-10 performances to start his PGA Tour career.
Let’s dive into this week’s course and the player I’m keyed in on.
