Sansan KBC Augusta Golf Tournament Tips

Higa is a former champion of this event, setting the tournament record with a commanding -26 in 2019. His course history is exceptional, and he's coming off a victory just two weeks ago at the ISPS Handa Explosion. The Keya Golf Club's coastal, tree-lined layout demands precision and a deft touch around the greens, which perfectly suits his game. With a recent win under his belt and a proven track record here, he's the player to beat.

As the defending champion from 2024, Kozuma has the recent experience of getting a win at this particular event. His victory came in a playoff, demonstrating his psychological resilience under pressure. The course's tree-lined nature and coastal winds favor players who can control their ball flight, and Kozuma's game is well-suited for these conditions, making him a strong contender to repeat.

Won this back in 2022 on sixteen under and was only three shots worse off last year when 10th overall. Came 2nd a few weeks ago in the Richard Mille at the beginning of August.

10th last year on thirteen under, but still a shot better than when 4th back in 2022. Been in superb form recently with a 6th in the ISPS Handa and won the Richard Mille at the beginning of August.

A fan favorite with a history of success in this tournament, Ishikawa won here in 2016 and has multiple top finishes. His recent form has been strong, and he is a player who thrives on courses where he feels a personal connection. The forecast for hot and humid weather, with some wind, is familiar territory for him, and his ball-striking prowess will be a major asset.

Solid form in this tournament across the last few years. 7th back in 2022, but even more improved the last two years with 3rd place finishes with scores of fourteen under and eighteen more recently. Huge threat if building on that.

Top ten in both the previous reboots, finishing 3rd in 2023 and 8th last year on the same score of fourteen under. Was 2nd in The Crowns back in May, but there may be improvement here with good tournament form.

Asaji has shown flashes of brilliance this season, including a win at The Crowns in May. He is a consistent player who rarely has a bad week, making him a low-volatility bet for a high finish. While his course history isn't as dominant as the others, his current form trendline suggests he's playing some of the best golf of his career and is poised for a breakout at a major event.
