2023 Corales Puntacana Championship rankings: Top 10 expert picks

1. Joel Dahmen: Dahmen is a past winner here, and he seems to be rebuilding again after a rough start to the year.

2. Wyndham Clark: Clark finished fifth at the Valspar, and he hasn't missed a cut since back-to-back MCs to start the season.

3. Taylor Pendrith: The long-hitting Canadian should fare well on a course that has some wide-open spaces (and a few tight ones as well).

4. Adam Schenk: Schenk has missed just one cut since The American Express, including a runner-up last week. Not a lot of high finishes, but he has been consistent. Seventh here last year.

5. Thomas Detry: Detry missed the cut at The Players, but he has otherwise been a money-making machine going back to last fall. He has a good record here.

6. Kramer Hickok: Hickok is on a good run of four-consecutive top-50 finishes, and he's played well here in particular in the last four years.

7. Ben Martin: Martin has cashed in four in a row, and he was notably close here last year.

8. Michael Kim: Kim loves weaker fields, and he's actually playing somewhat consistent golf at the moment. He was fifth in Puerto Rico.

9. Jhonattan Vegas: Vegas is not consistent, and that's OK, but he was fourth here last year and gets a buy-low price after missing his last two cuts in a row.

10. Kelly Kraft: If you're looking for a huge longshot, this is our man. He's not been playing well, but he does seem to have a thing for Corales Golf Club.
