Kevin Na
Na is three tournaments removed from winning at Colonial and he finished T-6 at the Korea Open. His ball-striking and short game suits nearly every course.

Viktor Hovland
Hovland hasn’t skipped a beat since turning pro by making both cuts and finishing T-13 last week in Detroit. He’s already a world-class player off the tee and the rest of his game is showing promise.

Sungjae Im
Im is in the midst of a solid three-tournament stretch during which his worst finish is a T-21. All facets of his game are clicking, which should continue in Minneapolis.

Joaquin Niemann
Niemann is coming off back-to-back top-five results and has made five straight cuts. He’s trending toward his first career PGA Tour win.

Tony Finau
Finau isn’t playing great lately but based on long-term talent, he’s in the upper tier of this field. He will be at a huge advantage if TPC Twin Cities plays soft and favors distance over accuracy.

Patrick Reed
After spinning his wheels for most of the season, Reed appears to have figured it out. He capped three straight made cuts with a T-5 last week in Detroit, where he gained 6.3 strokes with approach shots.

Jason Day
Day finished T-8 at the Travelers where he surprisingly struggled with his short game and putting. He should turn that around and contend in Minnesota.

Brooks Koepka
Koepka admitted to being "fried" at the Travelers, which is concerning given that it was only two weeks ago. He could miss the cut or just as easily win by five shots.

Hideki Matsuyama
Matsuyama hasn’t missed a cut since last year’s Open Championship and is dialed in tee-to-green. It's only a matter of time before he returns to the winner's circle.

Bryson DeChambeau
DeChambeau is moving toward a win. He backed up a strong ball-striking and putting performance at the U.S. Open with a T-8 at the Travelers. Four of his five PGA Tour wins have come in July or later.
