What to Know

Procore takes the traditional Silverado opener spot on the FedExCup Fall. The North Course is a classic, tree-lined Robert Trent Jones design updated by Johnny Miller — tight sightlines, subtle elevations, and greens where leaving the ball under the hole is everything.

The Field & Storylines

Tournament organizers announced one of the strongest Napa fields yet — headlined by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and a wave of recent major winners and U.S. Ryder Cup team members committed as of the late-August release. Names included Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, Russell Henley, Harris English, Ben Griffin, Sam Burns and J.J. Spaun. Expect a genuine tune-up week for Ryder Cup form and pairings chemistry, plus a showdown of elite approach play on Silverado’s smallish targets.

  • Why it matters: 500 FedExCup points, OWGR points and a two-year exemption keep stakes high in the Fall.
  • Who fits: Top-tier iron players who flight wedges and control spin; drivers who favor the proper side of fairways to open green angles.

Course Guide (Player POV)

Silverado North rewards discipline more than raw speed. Here’s how I’d map it as a pro:

  1. Front-nine patience: The opening stretch punishes over-aggression. Club down to the correct sides of fairways; center-green is a win when pins are back-left behind bunkers.
  2. Par-3 decisions: No. 11 (the signature short iron over water) is a green-light yardage only if you’re pin-high. Short-side = instant bogey vibes.
  3. Par-5 scoring: Layup windows are narrow; favor full-wedge numbers over “almost” yardages. Birdies come from disciplined third shots, not hero seconds.
  4. 17th theater: That lakeside par-3 late (moved in routing a couple years back) is a momentum swing. Take the extra club in the afternoon breeze and aim to the fat — two putts keep you in it.
  5. Greens IQ: Napa’s bent surfaces get slick. Practice uphill left-to-righters; leave approaches hole-high or slightly under to avoid defensive strokes.

Pro Notebook: How I’d Prep to Win

  • Fairway-first setup: Three-wood gets heavy reps — shape to preferred sides for approach angles.
  • Wedge calibration: Napa’s afternoon breeze knocks spin; rehearse three stock trajectories (low, flighted, standard) for 85–135 yards.
  • Short-side saves: Practice bunker shots to tight pins with downhill run-offs; most pars are earned greenside.
  • Par-3 blueprint: Build a conservative target matrix — 75% center-green, 25% green-light. Bogeys here cost momentum.
  • Wind windows: Track PM gust patterns on 10–13 and 17; choose the extra club before you see water.
