After a few weeks off, the PGA Tour returns to action in Napa, California, on Thursday for the Fortinet Championship at Silverado Resort’s North Course.
Two-time defending champion Max Homa, who was recently in Rome for a scouting trip of Marco Simone Golf and Country Club with the United States Ryder Cup team, has played great golf over his last five starts with five T-12 or better finishes. He’s joined in the field by fellow U.S. Ryder Cupper Justin Thomas, who tied for 12th in his last start (Wyndham Championship). In 2019, his last appearance in Napa, Thomas tied for fourth. In fact, he’s finished inside the top 10 in three straight appearances at the Fortinet.
Here are some of the best photos from the 2023 Fortinet Championship.
