Power Rankings: Bank of Utah Championship

The FedExCup Fall resumes this week with the Bank of Utah Championship. The third edition of the tournament is the second stop of eight in the series.

Black Desert Resort outside St. George, Utah, in Ivins has been the only host since the inaugural. It doesn’t look like any other course utilized by the PGA Tour but it’s easily the most familiar of the most recent three that have hosted Tour-operated competitions. That alone is of value to returning participants in the field of 120 as they chase end-of-season goals, but it’s not the only variable contributing to elevated expectations.

An explanation of that, how Black Desert sets up (which essentially poses as a spoiler alert), Mother Nature’s promise to cooperate and more are detailed beneath those projected to contend for the title.
