Davis Thompson (+4500) … This will require him to solve his woes in final rounds of late, but he’s almost assured of taking you for a ride until then. Most recently, he faded to finish T18 at the John Deere Classic where he was the 54-hole leader in what was his first title defense on the PGA TOUR. Despite the result, it was a great sign that he had compartmentalized the process and didn’t try too hard to go back-to-back, at least for three rounds. He puts himself in position to score more than most, and he has one start under his belt at TPC Twin Cities. Even though that resulted in a missed cut in 2023, he’s now among the subset in the field of 156 that can extend the trend referenced in the Power Rankings; that is, all five winners after the inaugural edition of the 3M Open in 2019 had appeared at least once before.
