Event Preview

A high-quality field of players will be in action on the FedEx Cup Fall Series this weekend, as Black Desert Resort hosts the Bank of Utah Championship. The field will compete across 7,421 yards, with a total purse of $6 million being up for grabs.

Jackson Koivun will be a deserving favorite this weekend. The U.S. star was the only player that boasted an unbeaten record in last weekend’s Presidents Cup, and the 21-year-old has looked unflappable under pressure in the second half of the year.

Ben James should also be considered after hitting podium finishes on his previous two starts. James sits 66th in the FedEx Cup Rankings, and he leads the PGA Tour in terms of fairways and greens hit.

Michael Brennan shouldn’t be dismissed, having won the Fortinet Cup on this weekend 12 months ago. Brennan also boasts excellent course form at Black Desert, having won the event last year. Arrives in standout form, having finished T10 at the recent BMW Championship.

Max Homa has endured a more challenging season than most on the PGA Tour this season. The 35-year-old has racked up six top-25 finishes in 2026, which includes a finish inside the places at the St. Jude Championship. Likely to be competitive, despite the fact that he is yet to win since 2023.

Bank of Utah Championship Picks

Jackson Suber could be a sleeper pick in the Bank of Utah Championship field this weekend. He was T15 in the opening leg of the Fall schedule, meaning that he has now finished in the top 25 on back-to-back starts. Holds solid experience at Black Desert, having held on to T15 on his debut showing despite enduring a challenging round.
