"The PGA Tour's annual stop in Napa rarely makes headlines. As the start of the PGA Tour fall season - a series of events that allows fringe players an opportunity to keep or regain their full Tour status - the Safeway Open turned Fortinet Open and now Procore Championship doesn't usually draw many of the game's biggest names. But this week, with the Ryder Cup just two weeks away, that's set to change."
"Other Ryder Cup players playing this weekend are Russell Henley (No. 4 in OWGR), Justin Thomas (No. 5), Collin Morikawa (No. 8), Harris English (No. 10), Ben Griffin (No. 17), Cameron Young (No. 20), Patrick Cantlay (No. 21) and Sam Burns (No. 22). Maverick McNealy, ranked No. 18 in the world, is also in the field, along with two-time event winner Max Homa, 2023 champion Sahith Theegala, 2015 champion Emilliano Grillo, 2019 winner Cameron Champ and reigning champion Patton Kizzire."
Ten of the 12 U.S. Ryder Cup players will compete at the Procore Championship at Silverado Resort's North Course in Napa, providing a pre-Ryder Cup opportunity to bond and sharpen form. The field includes World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and U.S. Open winner J.J. Spaun, and comprises 11 of the top 25 players in the Official World Golf Ranking, the strongest in event history. Other Ryder Cup participants and past Procore champions are also entered. Captain Keegan Bradley will attend though he is not playing; several vice captains will compete. Two U.S. Ryder Cup players are not scheduled to play.
