The redesigned course and weather conditions are expected to test players' skills, particularly in approach shots and putting. Scottie Scheffler's strong strokes gained metrics make him a favorite, but the variability introduced by the new greens could lead to unexpected outcomes. Players like Brooks Koepka, who excel in approach play, may have an advantage, while others may struggle with the course's increased difficulty. Spectators should prepare for potential weather-related disruptions.
