If you are a regular follower of this column, you are likely to prove what strange season it has been for us in terms of play -offit.
Started with our choice of JJ Spaun (110-1) losing in a play off to Rory Mcilroy in the player championship. A month later, Mcilroy defeated us again in a play off when we were in Justin Rose, also in triple (110-1) figures to win masters. Soon in late June when our son, Chris Kirk (80-1), lost in a play off in Classic Rocket.
Last week at TPC Southwind, I really thought we would take over. We hit Hideki Matsuyama (28-1) for a winner here last year and I thought We would do it two seasons in a row with spaun (50-1). And then again, we went to the extra scary holes. Quite strange, it was Mcilroy who took us against spaun and rose at the beginning of the year, and now with mcilroy not in the field, was spaun against Rose on Play off, from which we naturally came back to the end of the loss. A fun story to tell, a fun sweat below the stretch on each, but not exactly the most fun results.
Over the valley of the cave and BMW championship. Round round 2 of the FedEx 2025 Cup Play and we are in the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup rankings. Once again, this is an uninterrupted event and for the second right week, we are short a player as Sepp Straka has withdrawn due to a family issue.
Caves Valley is a Tom Fazio design and played host in this championship in 2021, but we can expect things to be much different four years later. The golf course was overcome with rain that led to that event in 2021. The players played elevator, clean and placed for four days and beat the course in a pulp. Patrick Cantlay and Bryon Dechambeau both finished a 27 underwear under adjustment. Cantlay finally best dechambeau best in the sixth hole of the play off to catch the title. Did I just say “play off” again? Ouch.
There are some prolonged thunder in the forecast this week, but nothing as we have previously experienced. Temperatures will be in the lower years of the 90s and is not expected little or no odor. Most importantly, the golf course will play as a par 70 this time compared to a par 72 like it in 2021. The length was also added. Cave Valley this week will draw at 7.600 yards and this is a beast of a par 70. Great Hitters dominated this tour four years ago and I look forward to seeing this case here this year.
2025 Championship Championships: Rory Mcilroy among favorites in return
Kevin Cunningham
I watched the winning stocks: the ball hit, the approach and the outside. I also considered the distance of the car, the birds either won better, and the proximity of the holes from 175-Oborre or more. Finally, we are in bentgrass this week and this is the type of surface I applied to my involvement of the strokes: setting.
As for interconnected courses, I wanted to use long, heavy driver songs. Memorial In Houston (Houston Open) makes sense as well as The empty quil AND Torrey pinesHome for the latest recent championships, as well as the Wells Fargo championship and the provision of open farmers. I looked at Pinhurst No. 2, where it was held at US Open 2024 and finally, Olympia Fields, where the BMW 2020 and 2023 championships were recently played.
With only 49 players on the field this week, I played four guys with reasonable disputes and then took a couple with a knife in two long for very little danger.
LUDVIG ABERG (22-1)
It has been a year and down for the great Swedes, but he got his second PGA Tour victory in Torrey Pines when the Invitational Generations were played there again in February. He has also finished top 10 in two of his last three beginnings. Last week in Memfis, Aberg ranked fifth in the field for SG: off the tee and the 14th for the accuracy of the direction. He was also the 12th in Pinehurst last June. I like the way his game is being shaped now and this course should be in his alley.
Cameron Young (30-1)
Here is another guy who is a bomber outside tee – and since later, he’s settling beautifully. In his first tournament for the first time two weeks ago, he took fifth place last week at TPC Southwind. He has been as high as the 20th in Torrey Pines, the 15th in Olympia Fields, and was a Quail Hollow racing in 2022.
Hideki Matsuyama (38-1)
Like Aberg, here is another guy we were at the beginning of the season for a winner, but since then it has been a missing action. Although, it appears that the form can be returned after Matsuyama has completed 20 balls in each of its last four beginnings and has not lost a cut in three months. During the last 24 rounds, it ranks in the Top 5 in this field for SG: access and near the holes of 175 yards or more.

Ben Griffin (40-1)
Griffin has been almost so stable that they come this season with nine Top-10 ends, including two wins. He does everything well, including sleep length and setting. During the last 24 rounds, Griffin is the 14th in this field for the distance of the car and the 19th for SG: Bentgrass. One of those first 10 came to Quail Hollow when he finished eight in the Championship PGA.
Taylor Pendrith (70-1)
Pendrith was the fifth at the PGA championship again in May in Quail Hollow, was the fifth in Houston Open in April, and ended the 16th last year at the US Open in Pinehurst. He has ended the seventh, ninth and 16th in Torrey Pines in his career. It is a large hitter that hits the greens in adjustment and ranks ninth in this area for the proximity of the holes from 175-200 yards. He is one of the long, yes, but I believe his game definitely makes sense for this course.
Thomas Detry (180-1)
Likewise with this guy, who, like Pendrith, also has a great record in some large, heavy golf courses-and also happens to be a scary holder. Moreover, Detry is following a place on the European team of the Ryder Cup as it is currently the 13th in the standings. He finished 20 twice in Torrey Pines, was the 14th in Pinehurst last year, and was also a Houston racing last season. Again, another tall which should probably priced closer to 120-1 than 150-1 or higher. Let’s cross our fingers this week and see if we can get into a payment rather than a play off.
