PGA TOUR, Fortinet Championship 2022, Silverado, Napa Valley, CA: 15-18 Sept
Marking the "final tune-up before the return of the Presidents Cup" - Adam Stanley
From PGA TOUR, The First Look, by Adam Stanley:
After a two-week break, the new PGA TOUR season begins with the Fortinet Championship in Napa, California. Cal product Max Homa will return to defend his title from last season, when he would win twice and qualify for the TOUR Championship for the first time in his career. Last week he was named as a captain’s pick for the U.S. Presidents Cup Team.
FIELD NOTES: Homa, who finished fifth in the FedExCup, edged Stanford product Maverick McNealy, also in this week’s field, at Silverado last year… There will be plenty of Presidents Cup flare in Napa before the squads assemble at Quail Hollow. The International side will have Hideki Matsuyama, Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith, and Cam Davis, while Homa and U.S. Captain's Assistant Webb Simpson are also playing. Read more
From Golfweek, by Jason Lusk:
The North Course at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa Valley, California, is the host site of this week’s Fortinet Championship, the first event on the PGA Tour’s 2021-22 schedule. In the heart of wine country, the North originally opened as a 1955 Robert Trent Jones Jr. layout and was renovated in 2011 by resort owner Johnny Miller.
Yes, that Johnny Miller, the winner of 25 PGA Tour events – including two majors – before he became a lead broadcaster for decades.
The North is playing at 7,166 yards with a par of 72 for the Fortinet Championship. Read more
