Truist Championship expert picks
The Golfing Gazette experts have made their picks for the Truist Championship this week.
Charlie Walker: Ludvig Aberg has been knocking on the door all season long. Throwing away his chance of winning The Players has made us all overlook just how good he’s been this year, with four top fives in his last five starts, and I think he’s going to go all the way and win this week
James Shearman: Tommy Fleetwood has arguably been the most underwhelming player on the PGA Tour this season. However, the Englishman’s T23 finish at the Cadillac Championship suggests he’s trending in the right direction. Fleetwood’s long-iron game also suits Quail Hollow perfectly, having finished T5 in 2023.
Peter Lynch: Min Woo Lee has found his feet again after a difficult few weeks on the PGA Tour, and I think a long-overdue win is on the cards for the Australian this week.
Jordan Harris: Xander Schauffele has finished second at each of the last two Truist Championships to take place at Quail Hollow. He is playing well this year without yet getting across the line and winning. But that run without a win ends this week at the penultimate signature event of the year.
