This week on the tournament, Wissahickon course in Philadelphia Cricket Club plays host to Trumpet. Everyone sounds familiar, right? I know, not so much. We have little explanation to do here.
First of all, this is the sixth event of the season signature. It is a field with 72 players with no 36-hole cutting. All are here except Last week’s champion, Scottie Scheffler. Second, we would normally prepare for the Wells Fargo championship this week at Hollow Quail Club In Charlotte, NC, but we have a change of sponsorship. Wells Fargo is out and Truist is in – for at least the next seven years. And finally, Quail Hollow Club, for the second time since 2017, will wait PGA championshipComing next week-so, the tournament has chosen a new place in the temporary for this year’s final tuning before the second major championship of the season.
I have it? Well. And I am personally excited when I see this “new” golf course as I believe we are in a treatment. It’s a classic. Built in 1922 and restored by Keith Foster in 2013, it is a design AW Tillinghast, which was behind other stalwarts like Foot Winged, Baltrusol, Ridgewood Country Club and Beethpage Black. It is a shorter course in 7,119 yards and a par 70, but there are certainly some longer holes – five par 4s measuring 450 yards or more and two 3s in 215 yards or more. The fair routes are bentgrass and are moderately width, approximately medium depth, and medium -sized, multi -level greens, multi -level, very fast with intricate, delicate vacations. The golf course contains dramatic sand bunkers – 118 of them, which is mostly players who have seen in a course this season.
The golf course has been reunited this week by what membership plays typically, setting what seems to be an excellent stretch of holes. Hole no. 14 is a 32-yard with a green that is highly preserved by sand bunkers. No. 15 is a 553-Oborr par 5. It is then in another par 3 for no. 16 but this time nearly 100 yards longer at 215 yards. Nr. 17 and 18 are two very long 4s in 498 and 517 yards.
There have been some moisture in the area with the most expected on Friday. The forecast is calling for a very easy wind throughout the week, in the 5-10 mph neighborhood. This is all a little frustrating because it looks like it can make this course play much easier than we would like. We’ll see. Proposal of the winning betting result on the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas opened in under/over 260.5, which translates to 19.5 under the money. Since then it is betting up to 259.5 (20.5 under the money).
2025 Championship Championships: Rory Mcilroy is a great favorite in Philadelphia
Not seeing this course before in the tournament makes it more a game of conjecture as to what groups of skills should be prioritized this week. I looked at the shocks won: Afrim and the greens in the regulations won. I looked at the shocks won: from tee and good drives won. I also watched clashes, close to the holes from 175-200+ yards, sand savings and strokes obtained: Bentgrass.
As for interconnected courses, I looked at some other classics in the Philadelphia area: Meritwhere was 2013 US Open, and Armoniminewho recently received the BMW 2018 Championship. I looked at Tpc potomacwhich was accidentally used to host the Wells Fargo championship in 2022 because the Quail Hollow Club was waiting for the President’s Cup that year. I also looked at the two main championship sites from 2022 in the country (US Open), and Southern Hills (PGA Championship).
I have five choices this week for a full win. I have also played the two shortest choices for a Top-10 finish and three longest shooting for a Top-20.
Patrick Cantlay (21-1)
Some of Cantlay’s best works have come to the northeast in Bentgrass greens. He has two wins in the Memorial in Ohio, a win at Caves Valley in Maryland, and was third in 2019 at the Championship PGA at Bethpage Black in New York, another tillinghast design. He has not lost a cut since May 2024 and during the last 24 rounds, he ranks eighth in this field for SG: off the tee, seventh for SG: Access, ninth for good drives obtained, and 13 for the proximity of holes from 200+ yards. He has not won within a while, but this feels like a track that is in the Cantlay wheel house.
Hideki Matsuyama (33-1)
In viewing the related golf courses this week, Matsuyama’s name continued to surface. He was 16th in Bethpage in 2019, I 17th in Winged Foot in 2020 US Open, I 15th in Northern Trust 2018 at Ridgewood Country Club, and fourth in PGA Championship 2016 in Baltrusol -all tilinghast designs. He was also the fourth in Country Club for US Open 2022, 10th in Merion for US Open 2013, and ended in 2018 at the BMW Championship in Aronink. Matsuyama is no. 1 in this field to clash during the last 24 rounds and is no. 2 for sand savings. It ranks 18th for the greens in the obtained regulations and is the 10th in the vicinity of the holes from 175-200 yards. At its end, a 21st in masters, Matsuyama was second in that field for SG: access. Like Cantlay, Matsuyama also feels determined to do good here this week.

KEEGAN BRADLEY (50-1)
Mr. Northeast himself, right? Graduate of the University of Vermont and the University of St. John, Bradley won the 2018 BMW Championship in Aronink, ended in the country in 2022 and was a TPC Potomac competitor in the same year. According to the strengths of his game, he ranks in Top-17 in this field for all categories outside and cuffs over the last 24 rounds. He is no. 2 In this field for the proximity of holes from 175-200 yards and is sixth for SG: Tee to Green. Is there something in the soup here with Bradley that is the captain of this year Ryder Cup and this year’s Ryder Cup is being played in a tilinghast course? Cannot be hurt.
Justin Rose (75-1)
Another boy who blooms in classic golf courses in the northeast and in Bentgrass greens. Have you seen his placement a few weeks ago on the masters? So much from Rosey’s success in his career has come to this kind of environment. He is won in Pebble Beach, arony, Muirfield Village and Congress. His only big championship came to the US Open in 2013, about 12 miles on the road to Merion. Even at the age of 44, Rose remains one of the best in handcuffs, from sand, and is the 12th in this field for SG: Bentgrass the last 24-rains. It is a common topic with all our choices this week; Northeast, tilinghast, classic courses, bentgrass. Rose also fits the bill.
Will Zalaatoris (93-1)
Another guy who has a ton of meaning in this golf course and in this part of the country is Jason Day. He withdrew, however, on Tuesday morning. For those who follow together, you know We are already in it for next week at Quail Hollow. So, standing with the theme WD, let’s go with Willy Z, who withdrew from CJ Cub Byron Nelson last week. Both he and the day have fought the injuries often, but I do not care to support Zalatoris after a week of rest and the same is true for the next week. Zalatoris has been money in the courses connected, completing the race in both country club and Southern Hills in 2022. On the foot of Tilinghast, Zalatoris ended up in the US Open in 2020. During the last 24 rounds, he ranks 10th in this field for SG: Access, Mira for Mira, Top-15 Proximy Hole from 175-200+ yards.
