Sungjae Im
Im’s consistent rookie campaign continued with a T-31 at the Wells Fargo Championship last week. His stellar tee-to-green game should shine at Trinity Forest.

Jordan Spieth
The Byron Nelson is a hometown event for the Dallas native, who happens to be a member at Trinity Forest. Wide fairways will help his struggles off the tee as he looks for his first top-20 finish of the year.

Marc Leishman
Last year’s runner-up fits this venue perfectly. He can get away with erratic tee shots and his creativity will be rewarded.

Rafa Cabrera Bello
Still searching for his first PGA Tour win, this week could be the Spaniard’s best chance so far. He’s gained a ton of strokes on approach shots in recent events and his short-game struggles will be mitigated at Trinity Forest.

Patrick Reed
He looked to have figured something out last week at the Wells Fargo, lingering near the top of the leaderboard for most of the week. Wide fairways and easy-to-hit greens could be exactly what Reed needs to finish in the top five.

Keith Mitchell
The bomber finished third at Trinity Forest last season is and coming off a top-10 finish at Quail Hollow. Mitchell’s length will be a huge attribute and he looks poised for another top-five result.

Aaron Wise
Wise will defend a title for the first time in his career after overpowering the course last year. He enters with back-to-back top-20 finishes, showing signs of a potential repeat.

Henrik Stenson
Stenson’s approach game has been off the charts lately - he's gained over six strokes with his irons in three of the past four recorded events. If that trend continues, he should cruise to a top-10 performance.

Hideki Matsuyama
Matsuyama has failed to lose strokes tee-to-green this year, with his putter (as usual) being his lone sore spot. He will win the next time his putter clicks.

Brooks Koepka
Koepka enters as the clear favorite to claim victory at Trinity Forest. With the PGA Championship looming, his result will come down to motivation. If he wants to win, he can - and likely will.
