5. Torque GC is coming off a third-place finish last week for their second podium finish of the year. Joaquin Niemann picked up his third victory already as he’s putting together a record-breaking campaign. That’s overshadowed an impressive season by Sebastian Munoz, who leads the team with four top 10s. If Mito Pereira gets going, the ceiling is sky high for this group, but he currently sits in the drop zone. Predicted order of finish: Ortiz, Niemann, Munoz, Pereira
6. Moving up two spots in this week’s rankings we find Stinger GC. The group has one runner-up result and outside of that they’ve been right around the middle of the pack. At age 40, Charl Schwartzel is having a resurgence as his pair of top 10s has already matched last year’s total. We also can’t forget his countrymate Dean Burmester, who is one spot above him in the individual standings in eighth place. Predicted order of finish: Schwartzel, Burmester, Oosthuizen, Grace
7. Smash GC is coming off their best finish of the season to give them a slight bump in the rankings, although the team probably has its eyes on better than a sixth-place result. Talor Gooch was the catalyst with a second straight top-15 finish, while Brooks Koepka is looking for more consistent results as he has three finishes outside the top-half of the field. Graeme McDowell bounced back from two subpar efforts for his second top-20 finish of the year in Mexico City. Predicted order of finish: Koepka, Gooch, Kokrak, McDowell
8. Falling three spots in this week’s Power Rankings is Fireballs GC, who continue to be the most difficult team to predict. They’re coming off their worst showing of the year in which Sergio Garcia surprisingly bested only three golfers. David Puig continues to chug along with a sixth consecutive top-20 results and that moves him up to seventh in the individual standings. The team has three wins and three finishes of fifth or worse. Talk about feast or famine. Predicted order of finish: Garcia, Puig, Masaveu, Ancer
