9. Sergio Garcia
Garcia hasn’t been playing in many tournaments these days, but when he plays he’s generally been very competitive.
A win at the Dubai Desert Classic over a loaded field is his crowning achievement of the 2017 calendar year. He went three strokes lower than the field that weekend, beating out Henrik Stenson for the victory.

Garcia also finished in a tie for 14th at The Honda Classic and tie for 12th at The World Golf Championships in Mexico.
Throw in his extensive experience at Augusta and the fact he has one top-five finish and three top-10 finishes at the Masters and it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see the Spaniard competing for a big paycheck on the back nine Sunday this weekend.
