19. J.T. Poston (+6600)

17. Si Woo Kim (+4000)
Won this event in 2016 but missed the cut in 2018 before a fifth-place finish last year. Tied for 13th last week with 2.18 SG: Tee-to-Green per round.

Playing here for the first time since a sixth-place finish in 2015. He should make it to The Northern Trust while entering the week 92nd in the FedExCup standings, but he’ll need a good showing in the next two weeks to qualify for the BMW Championship.

8. Brendon Todd (+3500)
Todd missed the cut in his two appearances here, but the two-time 2019-20 winner is coming off a T-17 at the PGA Championship and a T-15 at the WGC and should be able to finish better in a weaker field.
