Best eagle opportunity

All three par 5s should be gettable, but No. 5, with its zigzag fairway, has the greatest potential for fireworks. The longest hitters among the field can cut off as much as 100 yards by aiming seemingly impossibly far right off the tee, like Bubba Watson did during the 2015 PGA Championship.

Best match-flip hole

The par-4 13 th hole should be pivotal in several matches. It’s shortish and fiddly, with a green sitting well below the landing area and a sheer drop into oblivion at its right edge. It feels inevitable that someone will be cruising to this point, only to make a critical error that lets their opponent back into a match.

Most underrated hole

Resort guests likely discount it as it’s the first hole to turn away from Lake Michigan, but No. 9 is a solid mid-length par 4 with a small green. If the hole is cut on the small, domed front section, it will look like it’s sitting on the roof of a Mini Cooper.

Jon Rahm

Shot He Loves: Green light approaches with middle iron (first in birdies)

Rory McIlroy

Shot He Loves: Anything driver (fourth SG/off the tee, second driving distance)

Paul Casey

What you need to know: Sometimes amateur players have a hard time putting their finger on why a tour swing looks so "simple." If you were to take the center of mass of Paul Casey's club, it never gets too far behind his hands. That means he can make that simple downswing without a lot of re-routing—and he just rips it.

Matt Fitzpatrick

Shot He Hates: Tee shot on long par 4s (127th driving distance, 190th on 150-175 approaches)

Tommy Fleetwood

Shot He Hates: Driver on challenging holes (50 percent accuracy, 144th)

Viktor Hovland

What you need to know: His takeaway is picture perfect: The club goes in, but his arms also go up. I see students struggle with arm structure all the time. They either pull the club too much in or go straight up with the arms.

Lee Westwood

What you need to know: He's famous for his bent left arm at impact, but before that, he has a very tight, compact backswing. That's a big reason he hits those shorter irons so well. There's just not a lot of variance.
