We’ll call the team of Jason Day and Billy Horschel the favorite in this week’s QBE Shootout at Tiburón Golf Course in Naples, on Florida’s southwest coast.

On the strength of his team-leading efforts in winning the LIV Golf Team Championship (not to mention his take-home of $4M from the purse), Dustin Johnson is up four spots into sixth in the Hawley Ratings this week.
