This week begins the PGA Tour’s 2024 FedEx Fall with the Procore Championship, which will be held in Napa, California, at Silverado Country Club (North course) from September 12-15.
It will be the first of eight FedEx Fall Series tournaments, and considering the recent FedEx Cup Playoffs, and that the Presidents Cup will begin at the end of the month, several top players will be absent.
The reigning champion is American Sahith Theegala, who posted a course record of 21 under par on a 7,166-yard, par-72 course.

2024 Procore Championship Top Contenders
The best players will not be there, that is why anyone can win this tournament, and among them, we highlight Mackenzie Hughes. This year, the Canadian has achieved top-10 finishes at the RBC Canadian Open, the Wells Fargo Championship, and the Valspar Championship, where he finished third.
Hughes’ last tournament was last month’s FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he placed 58th, while the last time he won was the 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship. That was the second title of the Canadian in his career. He arrives at this tournament as the best-ranked (52°).
On the other hand, we have Max Homa. The American was champion in 2021 and 2022, together with Brendan Steele, to be the only ones who have been champions of this tournament on more than one occasion. His best result this year was a surprising third place at the Augusta Masters, in addition to achieving two other top 10s at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Wells Fargo Championship.
However, in recent months, he has not had good results, and his last tournament was the BMW Championship at the end of August, where he finished 33rd. Homa is one of the golfers with more titles in the PGA Tour who will be in the tournament, where in addition to the two already mentioned, he was champion of four more, being the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open the most recent one.
And finally, let’s include the defending champion in the deck of candidates: Sahith Theegala. The American was champion last year with a score of 267 and 21 under par, equaling Stewart Clink’s record in 2020. That has been his only title, although in 2024 he has been close to achieving another one.
In his first tournament of the year, he was runner-up, The Sentry, while he was also second at the RBC Heritage. In addition, he comes from a great TOUR Championship, finishing third and having fewer strokes than the winner, Scottie Scheffler, but let’s remember that, in that championship, the scoring system is different. In addition to those already mentioned, Theegala achieved the other five top 10s in 2024.
2024 Procore Championship Outside picks
We find another champion of the tournament disputing the 2024 edition: Cameron Champ. The American won the title in 2019, and it could be said that he knows the course, but he has had a very bad 2024. And is that he has only passed the cut in six of 19 tournaments in the year, and his best result was a 12th place in the 3M Open that was played at the end of July.
Precisely, Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas was crowned champion of that tournament, the 3M Open, his fourth PGA title and first of 2024, he hadn’t won since the 2017 RBC Canadian Open. That was his only top 10 of the year, and after that tournament, he was 61st at the Wyndham Championship and 40th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Wyndham Clark is another golfer who knows what it’s like to celebrate a title in 2024, winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. It was the third PGA Tour title for the American, who had six more top 10s this year, including a second place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and another at THE PLAYERS Championship. He is coming off an eighth-place finish at the TOUR Championship, a 13th place at the BMW Championship, and a 7th place at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
