We are back on the Early Wedge, brought you by BenMGM, the sports book born in Vegas,

and we want to take a very quick look at next week's FedEx, St. Jude, maybe talk about a few players that we may like.

It's the playoffs now, right?

We've got the top 70 that are playing.

So, again, a 70-person field, it's the playoffs. We We got a, let's see, TPC South Wind is a par 70, 7,700 yards. We're looking at very small greens, water in play on a ton of holes, 10 or 11 holes where water's in play. We've got ball strikers that we're looking for. Midiron play is certainly going to be between 100 and 200 yards, certainly going to be maybe 125 and 200. The proximity we're looking for.

Scrambling around the green might come into play with these small greens. We got Bermuda greens.

I do think, Jason, this is a little bit of a similar setup to Sedgefield. Maybe you just

add water in terms of like the type of golfer we're looking for. What are you looking for out here, Jason? Yeah, it makes sense. There's a correlation two years ago, Lucas Glover, one in Greensboro, and then went straight to Memphis and one there as well. I'm just looking at ball strikers. I mean, I know we do this 75, 80, 85% of the time when we're breaking down PGA tour events.

I know it gets redundant, but I'm looking for really good iron players who hit the

ball really well from the fairway.

And that 125 to 175 range, you know, it's who hits the best eight irons, nine irons,

and wedges is usually going to be up there this week. And I mean, I can start looking at some names, but it's not going to be anyone that blows your socks off that you go, wow, I've never heard of that guy. It's going to be a lot of the best of the best up on the leaderboard this coming week. Yeah, Jason, perhaps you and I will go back and forth on just a few names that just jump out to us early on a Sunday.

But Mike, I know you have to drop off in a few minutes. So let's get your thoughts on TPC Southwind. And maybe if you have a few golfers in my, if you don't, that's okay too. It's Sunday. We're not even done with the Wyndham yet. But any golfers that come to mind and what are you looking for at TPC Southwind? Yeah, I mean, it's definitely going to be the approach play.

Strokes gained approach.

We talk about it every week as Jay-G. you're looking for at TPC Southwind? Yeah, I mean, it's definitely going to be the approach play.

Strokes gained approach. We talk about it every week, as Jason mentioned. I think it's as critical

here, really, as anywhere. You bring the water into play, but it's going to be a lot of the best players,

as Jason mentioned. You know, guys that rate extremely well an approach,

we haven't seen in a couple weeks that I think their numbers can always be fascinating.

You know, SEP Strakka, Victor Hovlin, things like that.
