Patrick Cantlay (+650)
The 2021 Tour Player of the Year feasts on the Vegas layout, having finished first in 2017, runner-up in 2018 and 2019, and 8th in 2020. That’s why he’s the favorite.

In 4 events at TP Summerlin, he has 13 rounds in the 60s, including a trio of 63s.
Sungjae Im (+1000)
The 24-year-old fired a 9-under 62 in the final round last year after rounds of 63-65-70 to tie the tournament scoring record at 24-under. The win by 4 shots was one of Im’s 9 top-10s in 26 starts last season. He is particularly fond of TPC Summerlin. In 3 tournaments there, he’s a combined 54-under par with 10 of his 12 rounds in the 60s.
