2023 Puerto Rico Open rankings: Top 10 expert picks

1. Erik van Rooyen: EVR has been showing signs of figuring things out, and he could clean up against this field.

2. Nate Lashley: The PGA Tour winner is a horse-for-course pick for this event, with a pair of top-eight finishes in the last three years.

3. Harrison Endycott: Endycott is not consistent yet, but he's been in the top 26 in two of his last four starts, against much better fields.

4. Sam Stevens: Stevens has made the money in three of his last four events, including a T-14 at Torrey Pines.

5. Steve Stricker: Why not? The guy is smoking the PGA Tour Champions, and he can still keep up.

6. Cameron Percy: Percy has been tied for seventh here in each of the last two years, so it's a place he likes.

7. Ben Martin: Martin almost won an oppo event last year in the D.R., and he played well at Pebble, so let's go with him.

8. MJ Daffue: Daffue has been pretty solid in his last two tournaments, and that's some good momentum.

9. Ted Potter, Jr.: TPJ has been in the top seven here in two of the last three years. It's something worth pursuing in a random event like this one.

10. Geoff Ogilvy: Ogilvy is actually playing pretty well. He's made the cut in his two PGA Tour starts this season.
