Key Players: Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose, Sahith Theegala, Tommy Fleetwood
LAGC dominated the regular season with clutch performances and consistent teamwork. Collin Morikawa, known for his precision iron play, and Tommy Fleetwood, a match-play specialist, are expected to lead the charge. Their ability to handle pressure makes them favorites to win the SoFi Cup.
The Bay Golf Club (No. 2 Seed)
Key Players: Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele
The Bay Golf Club boasts one of the most well-rounded rosters. Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele have been standout performers on the PGA Tour and bring a mix of calm under pressure and aggressive shot-making. Their dominance in putting and scrambling could be pivotal in tight matches.
Atlanta Drive Golf Club (No. 3 Seed)
Key Players: Jordan Spieth, Max Homa
Jordan Spieth’s creativity and flair make him one of the most exciting players to watch. Paired with Max Homa’s steady play and charisma, Atlanta Drive could surprise higher-seeded teams. Spieth’s ability to pull off miraculous shots under pressure will be key.
New York Golf Club (No. 4 Seed)
Key Players: Viktor Hovland, Tony Finau
