🏌️ Week 35: ProCore Championship Preview & Ryder Cup Countdown
After a brief pause in the PGA Tour schedule last week, we took a well-earned break. But the spotlight belonged to Tommy Fleetwood, who finally ended his winless streak in spectacular fashion—clinching the Tour Championship and pocketing a cool $10 million. A long-awaited triumph and a fitting end to the season’s marquee event.
Now, as we enter Week 35 of our predictions—and our promised performance deadline—the focus shifts to Napa Valley for the ProCore Championship at the Silverado Resort’s North Course. This picturesque venue sets the stage for a high-stakes warm-up, especially with the Ryder Cup just around the corner.
A strong contingent from Keegan Bradley’s American Ryder Cup team will be in action, using the event to fine-tune their form. Expect to see familiar names like Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, and Justin Thomas in the mix, all looking to sharpen their edge before heading to Bethpage Black.
However, one notable absence looms large: Bryson DeChambeau, who remains ineligible due to his LIV Golf status. His absence adds another layer of intrigue to Team USA’s preparation.
With Ryder Cup momentum on the line and our prediction deadline here, this week’s tournament promises drama, intensity, and a glimpse into what’s to come.

Preview
🏌️ 2025 ProCore Championship Preview – Silverado Resort, Napa, California
The PGA Tour returns this week with the ProCore Championship, kicking off the FedExCup Fall series at the scenic North Course of the Silverado Resort in Napa Valley. While this event typically flies under the radar, this year’s edition carries extra weight—it’s the final tune-up before the Ryder Cup, making it a must-watch for fans and a proving ground for Team USA.
🏆 Last Year’s Champion: Patton Kizzire
Patton Kizzire stunned the field in 2024, winning by five strokes in a breakout performance. Though he’s struggled in 2025, Kizzire returns to defend his title at a venue where he’s historically thrived2.
🌟 Star-Studded Field
This year’s field is unusually strong, headlined by 10 members of Keegan Bradley’s American Ryder Cup team, including:
Scottie Scheffler – World No. 1 and the tournament favorite, seeking his sixth win of the season
Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Russell Henley, and Sam Burns – All tuning up for Bethpage Black
Collin Morikawa – A California native with deep ties to Silverado, making a homecoming of sorts
Their presence transforms this event into a pseudo-signature tournament, raising the stakes for those still fighting for PGA Tour status.
đź’° Prize Money
The total purse stands at $6 million, with valuable FedExCup points on the line. For many players outside the Ryder Cup bubble, this is a critical opportunity to secure their place in future signature events.
🇺🇸 Ryder Cup Implications
With the Ryder Cup just weeks away, this tournament serves as a final form check for Team USA. Captain Keegan Bradley has encouraged his squad to compete, hoping to avoid the rust that plagued previous campaigns. The Silverado layout—with its tight fairways and tricky Poa annua greens—demands precision and scrambling, ideal for sharpening match-play skills1.
đźš« Notable Absences
Two key absences stand out:
Bryson DeChambeau – Ineligible due to his LIV Golf status
Xander Schauffele – Surprisingly sitting out despite a shaky season and questions around his form
Their absence leaves gaps in Team USA’s prep and raises eyebrows about readiness heading into Bethpage.
With Ryder Cup drama looming and a stacked field in play, the 2025 ProCore Championship promises high-stakes golf in wine country. Whether it’s Scheffler’s dominance, Morikawa’s homecoming, or a surprise run from a long-shot contender, this week could shape the narrative heading into golf’s biggest team event.
