This week we head to Gainesville, Virginia for the Quicken Loans National at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. While this is the first PGA Tour event to be held at the course, it has served as host of the Presidents Cup several times in recent history. Two-time champion and tournament host, Tiger Woods, will be in the field this week. We’ll see if he can bounce back from a disappointing Open Championship two weeks ago.

After a week of grinding through the US Open’s tough set up, inconsistent greens, and annual slugfest of international heavyweights, the Travelers Championship has a tough act to follow. The short par 70 TPC River Highlands lends itself to low scores and an entirely different approach than a US Open track. Scoring will be, and always is low, and is often referred to as a ‘shootout’ – a category the US Open would rarely fall into. Many of the contenders from last week are scheduled to play this week in CT, so it should be interesting to see how they follow up their performances at Chambers Bay.

This week we have the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, TX. The field is quite strong this year with some of the favorites being local Texans (i.e., Spieth, Palmer, Walker). While the Colonial has plenty of history, it really is considered a stock par 70 golf course measuring at 7,204 yards and with relatively tight fairways.

The Players Championship, often considered to be the fifth major, draws one of the best fields of the PGA Tour season. This year will be no different as TPC Sawgrass and the infamous 17th hole island green host the best golfers in the world for the 42nd year.
