Max Homa ranks fifth in total putting according to PGA Tour stats, a crucial part of the game for success in Fort Worth. 10 of the last 11 winners at Colonial Country Club ranked in the top for birdie or better conversion percentage.

Max Homa leads competitors in this stat, with Viktor Hovland ranking 16th.

Fading Viktor Hovland Despite Weaker Field

Viktor Hovland with +1400 odds to win the Charles Schwab Challenge appears as a value play before discovering his poor performances following a top-10 Major finish.

After finishing tied for seventh at this year’s Masters Tournament, he finished tied for 59th at RBC Heritage. Last year, Hovland followed up a tied for fourth finish at The Open Championship with tied for 20th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

The fan-favorite from the PGA Championship, Michael Block, earned himself a spot at the Charles Schwab Challenge and has +20000 odds to win the event. Block’s odds at legal betting sites have come down from the 500-1 odds he opened at, likely due to optimistic fans rooting for the Hollywood story to continue.
