How Player Rankings are Computed
Who to watch for at the Deutsche Bank Championship
Best Bets:
Dustin Johnson
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T44 | T27 | T4 | T42 | T57 | T4 |
Hope I am not sounding like a broken record but he is the best on a bombers course.
Jason Day
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T12 | T7 | T13 | T51 | T3 | T2 | T19 | T50 |
T4th at Barclays and 2nd at PGA Championship, he also hits it long and straight and could dominate on this course.
Adam Scott
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T16 | T53 | T7 | T8 | T5 | T73 | T17 | T50 | T2 |
Leads strokes gained tee to green, winner in 2003 and I think he is ready to place his mark on the end of the season. Was T-4th last week.
Best of the rest:
Henrik Stenson
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | T26 | Win | T55 |
In the last three years has won and finished 2nd. He knows how to play the course and if he could get on a roll could do well.
Patrick Reed
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T4 | T74 | T70 |
We have never seen anyone win the Barclays and win the Deutsche Bank. But Reed is a streaky player and could be the first to win back to back.
Rickie Fowler
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | T23 | CUT | T74 | T52 | T41 |
Now we have never seen anyone win back to back Deutsche Banks but Fowler is playing well and wants to make the Ryder Cup team. Look for him to do well.
Sergio Garcia
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T4 | T31 | 26 | T5 | T17 |
Probably the best tee to green guy, he has played well in this event and could do well this week.
Charley Hoffman
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3 | CUT | T27 | T26 | T31 | Win | T27 | T33 | CUT | CUT |
Don’t forget about him, does play well at TPC Boston.
Solid contenders
Jordan Spieth
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T29 | T4 |
Shouldn’t forget about him, did finish T-4th in 2013 and was T-10th last week.
Rory McIlroy
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T29 | T5 | T47 | Win | T37 |
Easy to forget about him since his isn’t playing very well but he is always dangerous on a bombers course.
Jim Furyk
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T4 | T23 | T27 | T13 | 6 | T37 | T8 | T7 | T55 | T35 |
Always like him, he will always play well and make sure he plays all 72 holes. He is overdue for a great week.
Matt Kuchar
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T9 | T29 | T4 | T35 | T25 | T11 | T15 | CUT | T41 | T27 | T17 |
This is his type of course, surprised he hasn’t played any better on it.
Justin Rose
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T16 | CUT | T68 | CUT | T54 | CUT | T4 | T27 | T29 |
Won the Olympics but didn’t play great last week. Has never played well at TPC Boston so I don’t put much into him winning.
Long shots that could come through:
Billy Horschel
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
72 | T2 | T70 |
Name from the past, hasn’t played that great this year until the last two weeks.
Justin Thomas
2016 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T56 |
Guy has played well in the last month including a T-10th last week and a T-3rd at Travelers.
Emiliano Grillo

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Guy could be a greet longshot, playing in this event for the first time but has the length to overpower TPC Boston.
Your whose hot and whose not includes Jimmy Walker…your criteria needs adjusting. He is playing horrible in his two missed cuts
Also, you pointed out scrambling to be important..”Every winner in the playoff era finished in the top 10 in scrambling at TPC Boston.”, but didn’t include it in your key stats grid. I use several different sites in determining my picks so I knew about scrambling. Just wished you had included it in the grid.
Thanks
Walker wasn’t playing very well before winning the PGA. You never know when a guy will hit a course at the right time, think Walker will do well.
Sorry about not putting it on the grid, but it was in enough places including the key course stats that I thought it didn’t have to be on the grid. But it is mentioned.
Harvey, how is my Jimmy Walker pick now???
The mystery of the PGA Tour, you can miss a couple of cuts in a row and then win. TPC Boston is perfect for Walker, it’s all about the course.
