OPEN MINI PLAYERThe 2023 Fortinet Championship will start Thursday, with the PGA Tour event at Silverado Resort in Napa, Calif., welcoming 156 world-class players to the latest event of 2023 on the PGA Tour schedule.
The Fortinet Championship is the start of the FedEx Fall, with players fighting for their PGA Tour status and access to the first two Signature events of 2024.
Max Homa is defending champion at a venue that can defend par fairly well, particularly when fall conditions take hold.

2023 Fortinet Championship first looks
Cam Davis was excellent throughout the late summer, and he may be ready to win again.
Akshay Bhatia may seem a little rusty given that he wasn't in the playoffs, but a bit of a home game is a good thing.
Justin Suh is one of the players to miss the playoffs to get some action during those off weeks, and he was solid in the Omega European Masters.
