The Northern Trust Picks

Yes, Jim, we are talking about playoffs.

The 2017-2018 regular season ended last week and it’s finally time for the 4-week FedEx Cup Playoff stretch. This week, the playoffs get underway with The Northern Trust. Here is who we like:

It’s clear looking at his resume that since joining the PGA Tour full time, Brooks Koepka gets up for the big events. He has four wins on Tour, three of which are majors. The only thing really missing on his resume is a win in the playoffs. This is the year he finally breaks through in the playoffs and it starts this week with a win at The Northern Trust.

Oh, somebody hold me. My picks so far this year have ranged from horrific (DJ at the Open) to lukewarm (JT at the PGA) and now I fear I am about to do something that might be classified as irresponsible. I am going with Tiger! I thought he had no shot at the PGA and he delivered a performance for the ages. I think he has no shot this week too so why not pick him!

Coming off of a near miss with Webb Simpson as a pick last week has my confidence booming!

However, this week I’m not quite sure who to go with so I think I’m going to go safe play here.

Dustin Johnson. Why?

Yeah, that’s why!
