Here’s a look at all 15 holes for Tuesday night.

Triples

No. 1: Temple, Par 4, 481 yards

This is a nerve-racking opener that demands an accurate drive if players want a short iron into the green. The fairway pinches down at around 285 yards with penalty areas on both sides in a similar design to The Spear.

No. 2: Bonnie Link, Par 5, 649 yards

This is likely a three-shot hole for both teams with Fitzpatrick and Horschel on the tee. There are safe options up the left and right side of the links-style fairway, but a 330-yard drive over a large mound in the middle leaves a chance to go for the green in two.

No. 3: On The Rocks, Par 3, 179 yards

We’ve already seen two birdies through two matches at this par-3, but it will play tougher from a longer tee box on Tuesday from 179 yards as opposed to 135 yards. Fowler and Cantlay will have the first crack from the back tees.

No. 4: Serpent, Par 5, 616 yards

Tiger Woods and Justin Rose both failed to make par at this snaky par-5, but Shane Lowry made birdie here in the first match. Position off the tee will be huge for Thomas and Young.

TEAM PREVIEW: Atlanta Drive Golf Club

No. 5: Oh Chute, Par 3, 205 yards

We’ll see if either Horschel or Fitzpatrick can become the first player to hit the green at the claustrophobia-inducing Oh Chute, where par has been a good score through two weeks.

No. 6: Loot On The Line, Par 4, 391 yards

Shaped like the par-5 Pick Yer Plunder, a 300-yard carry up the middle will leave players a great look at the green with a wedge. Safer options are available on either side of the fairway, leaving a less-than-straightforward approach.

No. 7: Craic On, Par 3, 151 yards

This tricky, shorter par-3 has seen 46 feet of combined putts made through two matches, the most of any hole. Thomas and Young might be tempted to go flag hunting here depending on the score of the match.

No. 8: Bluebonnet, Par 4, 312 yards

Confident drivers can choose to take on a healthy chunk of this fairway that rests on a canyon, where anything short will result in a penalty. Aggressive lines will be even more tempting this week at 312 yards, compared to 474 yards each of the first two weeks.

No. 9: Riptide, Par 5, 572 yards

This is the first time players will get a look at Riptide, with water all down the right side of the fairway and a group of small bunkers down the middle. Squeezing a tee shot between the two leaves a great look at the green, but the safe play is up the left side.

Singles

No. 10: Quick Draw, Par 5, 729 yards

Cameron Young vs. Justin Thomas

Thomas and Young get us started in Singles play, tipping it out at the massive Quick Draw where par hasn’t been good enough – Xander Schauffele won here with birdie and Sahith Theegala had a six-footer conceded for eagle last week.

No. 11: Straight Up, Par 4, 464 yards

Matt Fitzpatrick vs. Billy Horschel

This hole favors a fade and might not be the most comfortable for Fitzpatrick at first glance. Anything left is likely dead. Tiger Woods struggled on this hole, while Justin Rose picked up a point with a par.

No. 12: Set in Stone, Par 3, 183 yards

Rickie Fowler vs. Patrick Cantlay

Anything that misses the 41-yard-wide landing area here will result in a penalty, but it's been relatively gettable so far – Rose hit his approach to 10 feet and drained the birdie putt a week ago.

No. 13: Alpine, Par 4, 535 yards

Cameron Young vs. Justin Thomas

This lengthy par-4 favors a draw off the tee, which is right in Young’s wheelhouse. But Thomas has every shot in the bag as well and this could be a crucial swing point in a close match.

No. 14: Cliffhanger, Par 3, 174 yards

Matt Fitzpatrick vs. Billy Horschel

Horschel and Fitzpatrick would be wise to aim for the center of the green at this challenging par-3, where Theegala and Max Homa both made bogey a week ago.

No. 15: Pinery, Par 5, 601 yards

Rickie Fowler vs. Patrick Cantlay

Pinery makes its first appearance in the rotation to bring Singles to a close. The second shot will be key for Cantlay and Fowler, who can play it safe or take on the water surrounding the green with a bold approach.
