DeChambeau has six consecutive top 10s on the PGA Tour dating to his runner-up finish in Mexico City. ... Adam Scott (No. 8) and Tommy Fleetwood (No. 12) are the only players from the top 20 who have yet to play since the PGA Tour resumed its schedule. ... Rickie Fowler has an endorsement deal with the title sponsor. He has missed the cut in three of his last four starts dating to the Honda Classic. ... Will Gordon earned special temporary membership with his tie for third at the Travelers Championship. He got into the field through his top-10 finish. ... Phil Mickelson considered playing. He is likely to play next week at Muirfield Village in the Workday Charity Open. Mickelson has a sponsorship deal with Workday. ... Brian Gay, K.H.
