Golf Rankings for Sony Open

McGirt has played here four times and made the cut three times. His best finish was a T19 in 2012 and he struggled last year to a T71. But, he played well at the end of 2015 with back to back top 10 finishes to end the year. And, outside of his BOB4 (125th last year), his profile also works (27th in GIR<125, 11th in bogey avoidance, 46th in SG:T2G and 9 st in SG:P.

Knost's profile works nicely (though he was 129th last year in SG:T2G). He’s an accurate driver of the ball so the rough shouldn’t be an issue for him. He has finishes in the top 25 two of his last three trips here (over four years).

Simpson has a solid record here making all six cuts in his six trips and has one top 10 finish (in his 2009 debut). He’s played twice in the last three years and finished top 20 both times. He finished last year at seventh SG:T2G and 32nd in Bogey Avoidance so part of the profile works.

I like Kizzire a lot this week and if I had some guts, I'd put him in the top 20. Don’t be fooled by a name you don't know. He’s an excellent golfer. He finished second in BOB4 and third in Bogey Avoidance on the Web.com Tour last year. That profile works. It’s his debut so don’t expect too much, but make sure he's a consideration in larger pools.

Weekley is six for nine in cuts made here, but only has one top 10 finish back in 2009. He’s got a couple of things in his profile that should work – 31st in GIR<125 and 29th in SG:T2G. He’s also nine for nine at the RBC Heritage – another seaside course.

Levin is seven for seven in cuts made, but hasn’t finished inside the top 20. So, he's a safe play without a ton of upside. He had three top 25 finishes in the wraparound season, though he missed the cut his last time out at the RSM Classic in late November.
