Who to watch for at the Shriners Children’s Open
Best Bets:
Taylor Pendrith
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T3 | T44 | T47 |
He was T-3rd last year, and after a terrible start to his year, in his last 15 starts, he only missed one cut, won the Byron Nelson, and had nine top-20 finishes.
Adam Hadwin
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | T10 | T6 | T34 | T4 | T27 | CUT | T10 |
His record at TPC Summerlin is good, he was 2nd last year, T-10th the previous year and T-6th in 2022. He hasn’t played great over the summer but loves playing in the desert and will do well for you this week.
Beau Hossler
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T7 | T64 | T34 | T29 | T23 | T7 |
Has made six of six cuts in Vegas and was T-7th last year. He has played well in his last two starts, 2nd at Sanderson Farms and T-11th at Black Desert, he is a yes for me.
Best of the rest:
Matt McCarty
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Is on a roll, having won three Korn Ferry events over the summer and last week. So keep up the support for him.
Cam Davis
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T7 | T37 | T27 | T52 | T28 |
Is a great pick, he has made five of five cuts at the Shriners and was T-7th last year. Davis had a good summer, including a win at the Rocket Mortgage, so I say yes to him.
Tom Hoge
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T4 | T14 | T24 | CUT | T7 | T67 | T67 |
He could surprise us.
Harry Hall
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T26 | T15 | T8 |
He is a sneaky good pick. Has made the cut three times at the Shriners and was T-8th in 2022, he won at the ISCO in July and been solid.
Solid contenders
Ben Griffin
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T60 |
He has played well over the summer and was T-11th at Black Desert and T-9th at the American Express played on desert courses in Palm Springs.
Patrick Fishburn
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Even with a miss-cut last week in Utah. I think his game is right, and this is a course he can win at. Henrik Norlander
Patton Kizzire
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T46 | T75 | CUT | T24 | T42 | T4 | CUT | T2 |
He has played well in this event, finishing T-2nd in 2016 and T-4th in 2018.
Long shots that could come through:
Charley Hoffman
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | CUT | T44 | CUT | T74 | T18 | CUT | CUT | CUT | 4 | CUT |
He hasn’t played well at the Shriners but has played well in the Desert, finishing 2nd in February at the Phoenix Open, and has been consistent over the summer.
Daniel Berger
2024 | ’23 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 |

He was 2nd at the Shriners in 2008 and has been ok of late.

Yes, he has won two Shriners in a row, so you think maybe he knows something about this event. But he has been inconsistent, and I don’t see any way he can make it back to the winner’s circle for a three-peat.
