Ludvig Aberg (+1200)
Exhaustion might be a problem for Aberg this week, but you can’t argue with how he’s been playing. Since winning the DP World Tour’s European Masters, Aberg has finished T-10 at the BMW PGA Championship and T-2 at the Sanderson Farms Championship. Throw in an appearance at the Ryder Cup and there hasn’t been much downtime for the Swede, but I still like his chances in Vegas.
Tom Hoge (+3500)
This week will be a birdie barrage on a short golf course, so why not take one of the best iron players in the world?
Hoge has finished T-14 at the BMW PGA Championship and T-13 at the Sanderson Farms Championship in his last two starts.
The TCU product has seen his share of success at TPC Summerlin over his last five appearances: 4th (2022), 14th (2021), 24th (2020), MC (2018) and 7th (2017).
David Thompson (+5000)
After finishing T-30 at the Fortinet Championship in September, Thompson returned to action last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship and eventually tied for 16th.
Last year, Thompson tied for 12th at TPC Summerlin.
Matthew NeSmith (+7000)
It’d be tough to name a player who’s played better at TPC Summerlin over the last few years than NeSmith.
He finished T-2 last year, T-14 in 2021, T-8 in 2020 and T-18 in 2019. Plus, he tied for 25th last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship.
