2023 Shriners Children's Open rankings: Top 10 expert picks

1. Ludvig Aberg: Aberg came up just short in his first PGA Tour playoff, losing a five-man dance to Luke List's massive 45-foot birdie.

2. Eric Cole: Cole is grinding it out through the entire fall, and he just doesn't seem to get tired. It's amazing.

3. Tom Kim: Kim is back on the PGA Tour, defending his title won last year in a strange finish over Patrick Cantlay. Been playing great all summer.

4. Si Woo Kim: SWK has to be buoyed between winning gold in the Asian Games to get out of military conscription and pending parenthood. He is a big fan of TPC Summerlin.

5. Tom Hoge: Hoge has been playing well enough the last few months, and he's notched consecutive T-14 finishes. He loves this venue.

6. J.T. Poston: Poston is coming back to the PGA Tour after a playoff break, and he's a bit of a question mark for only that reason.

7. Adam Schenk: Schenk was a great surprise of the FedEx Cup playoffs, finishing top 10 in the final standings. He should do well this week.

8. Matthew NeSmith: NeSmith got into the playoffs on the number, and he finished T-25 last week in Mississippi. Now he comes to a place he loves.

9. Scott Stallings: Stallings almost got the job done in Mississippi, and you have to ride him when he's hot.

10. Nick Taylor: Taylor kind of sputtered to the finish of the FedEx Cup playoffs, but the Canadians seem to love Las Vegas.
