2024 Black Desert Championship Tournament preview
The Black Desert Championship is this week, and the PGA Tour resumes the FedEx Cup Fall with a new event in the Utah desert that should be an absolute stunner of a venue. However, there should be plenty of scoring, too.
2024 Black Desert Championship Tournament rankings: Top 10 players
1. Lucas Glover: Glover has been excellent so far this fall, and there's no reason to think that's going to stop now.
2. Stephan Jaeger: Jaeger was solid enough at the Sanderson Farms to knock off some rust, and he should thrive in a place where his big tee ball has plenty of landing space.
3. Beau Hossler: Hossler has to feel pretty bummed to not win in Jackson, but it's also an indication of how close he is to a big breakthrough.
4. Chris Kirk: Kirk had himself a great year, but I'm just worried about some rust. Maybe it's worth drawing a parallel to Kapalua?
5. Matt McCarty: McCarty made the cut in his PGA Tour debut, and he should thrive on a course that is a little more open like a Korn Ferry Tour stop.
6. Kurt Kitayama: I may try to draw a comparison to Vidanta Vallarta, home to the Mexico Open, which has been kind to Kitayama.
7. Ryan Fox: Fox is safe on his PGA Tour card for next year, but he has plenty to play for and a long ball that will help him out.
8. Ben Griffin: Griffin got his fall started with a decent outing at the Sanderson Farms, and I think he'll thrive against this field.
9. Keith Mitchell: A lot of folks loved Mitchell last week, and for good reason, as it turned out. I think he'll build on that.
10. Patton Kizzire: Kizzire continues his great fall form, and he should probably be higher on this list.
