A few pros to watch out for include Akshay Bhatia, who finished inside the top 5 in the Travelers Championship and the Rocket Mortgage Classic a few weeks earlier. Another notable player is Neal Shipley, who has been garnering praise for his 2024 achievements, most notably winning the Low Amateur honors in both the Masters and the US Open.

Moreover, people will also be interested in Keegan Bradley’s performance on the Blaine greens, as he was recently named the US captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup.
