Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Tuesday at 6:30 a.m. ET.
20. Lee Westwood (+8000)
The veteran Englishman has been off since a 63rd-place finish at the RBC Heritage capped a four-event stretch which included missed cuts at The Honda Classic and the Masters. He previously had back-to-back runner-up finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship to climb as high as No. 19 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).
19. James Hahn (+12500)
Few in this week’s field have the experience of Hahn at TPC Craig Ranch. He finished as the runner-up at the 2012 Web.com Tour Championship played here. His victory at the 2016 Wells Fargo Championship was at a similarly long course (Quail Hollow Club).
18. Keith Mitchell (+8000)
Mitchell remains a quality value play coming off a T-3 finish at last week’s Wells Fargo Championship. He was second in the field with 1.85 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee per round and will need to rely on that same part of his game this week.
17. Cameron Champ (+8000)
Sixth on the PGA Tour among qualified golfers and fourth in this field in SG: Off-the-Tee through 32 measured rounds this season. His putting has been awful, but the new venue should help level the field on the greens.
16. Luke List (+7000)
Tied for sixth last week with 1.33 SG: Off-the-Tee and 1.77 SG: Tee-to-Green per round. He tied for 13th at the 2012 Web.com Tour Championship.

Rose as high as No. 16 in the OWGR earlier this year but has struggled since returning to the mainland after the two events in Hawaii. He tied for 43rd last week with 1.04 SG: Putting but 0.75 strokes lost off-the-tee per round.
14. Sam Burns (+3500)
Returns to play after a week off following his first career PGA Tour victory at the Valspar Championship. It’s another venue that
