The Golf Channel game is back for a year and the 2020 season has officially resumed.
Located in the NBC Sports Predictor app, Golf Pick ‘Em offers enthusiasts the chance to earn cash and prizes by predicting how some of the PGA Tour’s most sensible stars will behave as opposed to others on a weekly basis. The focus will be on choosing between a series of seven head-to-head matches, as well as the variety of a tournament champion and the winning score.
Players can compete for weekly cash prizes, with a $50,000 jackpot that can be earned a week for all players who get the best score. But there will also be at least $1,000 allocated for both a week in cash and prizes, even if there is no player with the best score. So be sure to download the NBC Sports Predictor app and make your choices both a week and two!
The festival continues this week with the BMW Championship and will be set through the Rescheduled Masters in November. Here’s a look at some of the players to keep an eye on their Pick ‘Em elections as the PGA Tour continues the playoffs with a vacation at the Olympia Fields outside of Chicago:
1. Dustin Johnson: With a limited record to build on, you’d better get started with the guy who just won with 11 shots. Johnson’s innovative functionality at TPC Boston was perhaps the most productive of his career, and now gives him an advantage to start at the box while searching for the top spot in East Lake. Even a fraction of the ball-throw demonstration he wrote last week will be enough to include it in the weekend mix.
2. Webb Simpson: Simpson followed a T-3 at Wyndham with a T-6 at TPC Boston. Although one of the most productive players of the Tour this season and with two victories to his credit, he is now on his way to a field whose small vegetables accentuate the merit he has in his hand.
3. Bryson DeChambeau: DeChambeau returns to the site of his American amateur triumph in 2015 as one of the most productive in the professional game. The lost cup last week was an aberration, as DeChambeau still leads the Tour in SG: Out of the Tee and has amassed 8 top 10 in his last 11 starts, adding a win in Detroit in June.
4. Justin Thomas: Last year, Thomas took this opportunity to put an exclamation point on a season plagued by injuries, winning in Medinah to disarm a remarkable consistency that has not stopped since. Thomas was defeated through a discreet putter last week in Boston, but remains the leader of the Tour’s tee-to-green, meaning it might not take much improvements to the vegetables to be back in the fight.
5. Collin Morikawa: The only time Morikawa missed a break as a pro, she won her next outing. Promising trend! The premature departure of the TPC champion Boston PGA was unexpected, but hardly becomes a cause for concern. Now the roles are reversed, as you will have what few people can boast about this week’s place: a recent experience applicable, having finished the moment at Olympia Fields on a school occasion in 2018.
6. Daniel Berger: With due respect to Johnson or Morikawa, Berger is part of the discussion about the Tour’s most productive player since halftime. His third place finished at TPC Boston, his fourth or greatest T-3 result in six starts, a streak that included his colonial win and a second-place WGC in Memphis. Berger is betting on the most productive golf of his career at an opportune time and is the leader of the shots won since the resumption of the festival two months ago.
7. Jon Rahm: It’s hard to finish the T-6 and lose first place in the overall ratings in the process. That was Rahm’s fate last week, where a forged exit was not enough to keep Johnson in first place. Still, Rahm is fourth overall in overall wins and seventh overall in SG: Tee-to-Green this season and heads to Chicago immediately after a final circular 65 in Massachusetts.
8. Xander Schauffele: The finale of Schauffele’s T-25 at the Northern Trust was his worst result in six runs in June. Although he has not won in more than 18 months, he has been remarkably consistent this summer and ranks fifth on the Tour this season in SG: Tee-to-Green. Expect some other reliable functionality this week near Windy City.
9. Scottie Scheffler: Mr. 59 overshadowed the eventual winner, but Scheffler’s recent trend remains promising. That now represents 4 consecutive results in the top 25 for the former Texas product, adding two T-4 effects in a row. Scheffler demonstrated last week and at TPC Harding Park that he has the skills to compete on a big stage, and is now in the middle of a compelling Rookie of the Year race with Viktor Hovland as the two looking to consolidate the Tour Championship venues. this week.
10. Harris English: Last year, the Englishman was relegated to the final of the Korn Ferry Tour, but after a resurgent campaign, he now relies on a position in the circuit championship and an incredible calendar in 2021. The veteran won Flight B at TPC Boston, completing the Johnson Mile moment. But this was just the most recent episode of a consistent season that included 11 top 20 ratings and earned it sixth overall-shot this season.
