2023 Barbasol Championship preview

The Barbasol Championship is back in its typical spot against an overseas PGA Tour event. Trey Mullinax won here last year, and Keene Trace tends to favor the longer hitter who can bang it around without much threat of penalty.

The winner will have to go deep here, at least into the 20s under par.

2023 Barbasol Championship rankings: Top 10 expert picks

1. Lucas Glover: Glover had a good run in the Quad Cities last week, and he's been on a nice run in events he fancies. Why not play well against weaker competition again this week?

2. Taylor Pendrith: Pendrith's monster length should be an asset on a 7,400-yard golf course, and he showed that last time out in Detroit with a good finish.

3. Kevin Streelman: Streelman was runner-up here last year, but he's been playing kinda OK of late, so it's not an easy call.

4. Peter Kuest: Kuest has been on a minor heater, and he's been able to parlay that into some opportunities at the right time of year.

5. Andrew Novak: Novak has flown under my radar a bit for fantasy and betting, but he's missed just one cut since the end of March.

6. Josh Teater: Teater has been playing most of his golf on the Korn Ferry this year, but the Kentucky native has been playing well.

7. Grayson Murray: We have to acknowledge Murray here, as he's won on the KFT, had another T-3 there and then was T-6 last week.

8. Jazz Janewattananond: Jazz has been enjoying a decent year, and he's played really well on the Asian Tour and in spots on the DP World Tour.

9. Justin Lower: Lower is the kind of player you have to catch quickly, and he was T-8 at the Rocket Mortgage, so jump in now.

10. Troy Merritt: Merritt has played terribly all year long. He's been battling the putting yips. But he's starting to claw his way out of it and been showing out pretty well.
