Paulie’s Picks: 2024 Shriners Children’s Open

The FedEx Cup Fall season continues in Las Vegas this week with the Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin. Handicapping performance for this event has historically been fairly simple. It all comes down to approach play and short game because driving is just not as important as it is other weeks. Let’s take a look at a few players to target this week:

Adam Hadwin Top 30 +110

Hadwin is an above average putter who excels at desert golf. So it really doesn’t come as a surprise to see that he has finished top 10 in four of the last five years at TPC Summerlin.

Harry Hall Top 30 +115

Hall, a UNLV product, has finished top 30 in all three appearances at the Shriners. He comes into this event in good form, finishing 35th at Black Desert and 18th at the BMW PGA. He also has some great confidence after winning his first PGA Tour event earlier this year at the ISCO Championship. Hall’s game fits the course well as he is above average with his irons and putter while being elite around the green (but he does struggle off the tee).

Chesson Hadley Top 40 +130

Hadley has solid but not spectacular results this fall as he has made all three cuts. He is an above average putter who at times can catch fire with his approach game. He loves TPC Summerlin, finishing top 40 in six of the last seven years.
