A new era on the PGA Tour begins this week in Napa Valley as players vie for positioning in the 2024 season
It may feel like the standard start to the swing season on the PGA Tour, but the 2023 Fortinet Championship marks the beginning of a new era. Kickstarting the inaugural FedEx Cup Fall, the Fortinet Championship will welcome an eclectic field to the Napa Valley.
Those who fell outside the top 50 in the 2023 FedEx Cup standings have work to do as they seek to solidify their PGA Tour status ahead of the 2024 season. Headlining this list of players is none other than 15-time PGA Tour winner Justin Thomas. Finishing 71st in the 2023 FedEx Cup standings, Thomas missed the postseason in its entirety and will tee it up in competition for the first time in over a month. Experiencing the worst season of his career, Thomas hopes to get off on the right foot with the 2023 Ryder Cup looming large.
Thomas' U.S. Ryder Cup teammate Max Homa is the man of the hour at Silverado Resort as the two-time reigning champion aims to make some more memories in wine country. The world No. 7 seeks to become the first man since Steve Stricker at the John Deere Classic in 2009-11 to win the same tournament three years in a row.
