Procore Championship 2025 Intro

Once again, the Procore Championship (previously the Fortinet) in Napa, California kicks off the seven-tournament FedExCup Fall Series.

Due to scheduling, it’s the only PGA TOUR event taking place in September and the reason for that is the upcoming Ryder Cup.

And with Bethpage Black in mind, Keegan Bradley’s side are taking the chance to sharpen up ahead of the battle with Europe in New York in just over a fortnight.

In all, 10 of the 12-man American Ryder Cup team peg it up here, a real coup for the sponsors who had previously struggled to attract the star names.

That’s the top end. Further down, those ranked 51st and lower in the FedExCup will be battling to bank FedExCup points which will enable them to play in the bigger events next year or perhaps just secure their playing privileges for 2026.

Silverado Country Club, in the heart of wine country, is a standard par 72 which has been extended 15 yards this year to measure in at a still fairly short 7,138 yards.

American players have won each of the last nine editions and with so many Ryder Cuppers on show it’s very likely we see that sequence extend to double digits.

The weather looks pleasant enough although morning fog could potentially delay tee times.

Course Notes/History

• Silverado (North Course) is a par 72 measuring 7,138 yards from the tips

• Robert Trent Jones was the original designer but Johnny Miller updated 

• Chesson Hadley and Ricky Barnes shot the lowest ever 18-hole score, a 61

• Stewart Cink and Sahith Theegala (267) hold the 72-hole record

• The Poa annua-bentgrass greens are smaller than average 

Favorites to Win the Procore Championship 2025

Scottie Scheffler (+225) at bet365

Scheffler may be feeling frustrated that he didn’t win the TOUR Championship after such a stellar year but, hey, the World No.1 will get over it. This is his tournament debut and he’ll be hoping at the very least to extend his run of 14 straight top eight finishes on the PGA TOUR. But the two main areas of focus will be to bank his sixth win of 2025 and hone his game for the Ryder Cup. If looking to oppose him, note that Scheffler has never won in California as a pro.

Russell Henley (+1200) at bet365

Henley completed a superb FedExCup season by finishing runner-up at the TOUR Championship at East Lake and he has two second places in his last five PGA TOUR starts. That’s in addition to his victory in the Arnold Palmer Invitational back in March. He played this event in its early days but without much success, posting 41st in 2015 and missing the cut in both 2016 and 2018. He’s a far better player now though - as the world rankings (4th) will tell you.

Justin Thomas (+1600) at bet365

World No.5 Thomas has enjoyed his trips to Napa even though he’s not been a regular. But in four appearances from 2015 to 2023 he’s produced finishes of 3-8-4-5 so deserves the title of ‘course horse’. JT has also delivered five top 10s in his last seven starts in California. Despite a patchy summer, seventh place at the TOUR Championship suggests he can shine here again.

Side with Sam  

Sam Burns has a first home Ryder Cup to look forward to and he’ll want to justify his captain’s pick with a big performance here.

And his recent play suggests he can do just that.

Burns arrives in California having shot in the 60s in each of his last 10 rounds.

That helped him finish fourth (BMW Championship) and seventh (TOUR Championship) in the final two legs of the playoffs.

Burns hasn’t played here since 2020 but back then he opened 64-65 to take the halfway lead before finishing seventh.

The last two winners of this event have ranked 1st and 2nd for Strokes Gained: Putting and that again bodes well for Burns, who ranks 1st for SGP this season.    

Back him each-way at +1800 (1/5 Odds, 6 Places) with BetMGM.

Thomas to Beat Cantlay

The case for Thomas has been made above.

He’s had four straight top 10s on this course and comes in off a good showing in the TOUR Championship.

JT is definitely a title contender, but we’ll back him at -110 to beat Ryder Cup colleague Patrick Cantlay in a 72-hole match bet. 

Cantlay finished runner-up in the TOUR Championship, but he’s never really clicked on this layout.

He’s played it twice and followed 17th on debut with 40th.

Past course form should definitely be valued in this event - Brendan Steele (2016-2017) and Max Homa (2021-2022) have both won it in back-to-back years - and Thomas definitely beats Cantlay on that metric.

Higgs to Bank Top 20

With so many Ryder Cup players on show, we’ll delve into the Top 20 rather than Top 10 market this week and try Harry Higgs at +450.

Higgs has been just outside the top 20 in three of his last four events - 27th, 25th, 28th - so it’ll just take a putt here and a putt there.

He’s a former runner-up in this tournament (2020) and also placed second at the Myrtle Beach Classic in May. 

The 33-year-old - a two-time winner on the Korn Ferry Tour last season - is hitting his irons crisply right now and can make an impression.
