Sungjae Im arrives at this week’s tournament on the heels of two consecutive top 12 finishes (PGA and Korean Tours combined), including a win at last week’s 2024 Woori Financial Group Championship.

Mackenzie Hughes $8,600

Since the beginning of March, Mackenzie Hughes has played five tournaments on the PGA Tour. In those ten events just mentioned, Hughes has accumulated four top 30 finishes, including an impressive third place result at the 2024 Valspar Championship last month.

In relation to this week’s 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson field, in the last 12 rounds played on the PGA Tour, Mackenzie Hughes ranks eighth in scrambling, 16th in strokes gained on par fours, and second in strokes gained putting.

Seamus Power $7,900

The talented Irishman has accumulated three top 26 finishes in his last five events played on the PGA Tour, including a 12th place result at the 2024 RBC Heritage two weeks ago.

Seamus Power has posted a quality result at TPC Craig Ranch in the past. More specifically, Power finished ninth at the 2021 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Kevin Tway $6,900

Two weeks ago, Kevin Tway fired a final round 69 at the 2024 Corales Puntacana Championship on his way to an eventual third place finish.

Due to Kevin Tway’s quality result at the 2024 Corales Puntacana Championship I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to see how Tway fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of comPetitive play at the 2024 Corales Puntacana Championship, in relation to the field, Kevin Tway ranked first in bogey avoidance (2), seventh in strokes gained on par fours (7.2), third in total Draftkings points scored (123), and tenth in putting average (1.64).

Kevin Tway also checks the box for me when it comes to previous event/course History. Tway finished 11th at the 2023 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
