Charley Hoffman
Here’s someone out of left field for you guys. Hoffman may not be considered an “elite golfer” but he’s ranked at number 33 in the world so he’s not just a flash in the pan. Hoffman has put together some solid finishes winning the Valero Texas Open last month and then falling just outside the top 10 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and the AT&T Byron Nelson. His one blip on the radar is the Players Championship, which he was cut from but there’s a caveat. Hoffman was cut from the field at one-under-par through two rounds, so it’s not like he was playing poorly. Hoffman just couldn’t keep pace on a course where he’s failed to finish in the top 25 since May of 2010. Hoffman tees with George Ogilvy and Steve Stricker at 12:29 PM CT.
