Shane Lowry
How could we not include the reigning champion of this rich competition? Shane Lowry has every right to secure back-to-back Open Championships and after such a peerless display in 2019, he has a proven track record that he has what it takes.
Tommy Fleetwood
This might be an emotional inclusion but he has come so close on so many occasions - he has what it takes, he does. If Tommy Fleetwood can get the job done once, then surely more will follow, surely? He’s too good not to.
Richard Bland
Stranger things have happened. While this inclusion may be a tad controversial, he would not be considered if it were not for his riveting 36-hole display at Torrey Pines. Richard Bland has disclosed to the media that he has worked tirelessly on his game and with his first European Tour victory and 36-hole lead at the U.S.
Sam Burns
On the PGA Tour, Sam Burns has had a fantastic season. He has secured his maiden Tour title; finished in the top 10 on six occasions; broke into the world’s top 50 and sits one place outside of the top 10 in the FedEx Cup standings – not bad for a 24-year-old.
Matt Wallace
Long gone are the days of angry Matt Wallace – can you remember his temper on the green at the British Masters? Since that incident in 2019 – has it really been that long? – he has composed himself and matured both as a player and a human. He is starting to understand that to succeed in the game of golf, one must be patient – his time will come.
Garrick Higgo
Wallace, Fleetwood and Matthew Fitzpatrick are all generational talents who compete on a weekly basis on the PGA Tour but they all share one thing in common: they are yet to win on American soil. It’s difficult, demanding and sometimes, downright impossible.
Corey Conners
Some players hit it long while a few possess an unbelievable short game. There will be players who are incredible from bunkers and those who are dialled-in from 100 yards or less. Then there are players like Corey Conners who quietly plod along and have all aspects of their game firing on all cylinders.
