The Procore Championship kicks off the FedExCup Fall swing this week at Silverado Resort’s North Course in Napa, California. This breezy par-72 layout–with tree-lined narrow fairways, small greens, and water in play only on two holes–is a birdie haven designed for precision ball-strikers and sharp short-game players.
It’s also a Ryder Cup rehearsal. Ten members of the U.S. team teeing off here, including the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas, are using this event as their final competitive warm-up ahead of the showdown at Bethpage Black.

Course Breakdown & Fantasy Strategy
Silverado’s North Course is short (around 7,138 yards) but tricky. The greens demand surgical precision with approach shots, while putting prowess on bentgrass/Poa annua surfaces is a must. This means fantasy managers should zero in on players who rank high in Strokes Gained: Approach and Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green, as well as those getting hot with the flat stick.
Recent winners here typically finish top seven in SG: Around-the-Green and SG: Putting, showing the premium on short-game mastery. With six par-4s ranging from 400-450 yards, solid ball-striking remains essential.
World No. 1 Scheffler is the betting favorite to win this week, carrying heavy Ryder Cup swagger into Napa. He’s headlining an elite field stacked with U.S. stars looking for competitive reps.
