Johnson has only played in 17 events this year―compared to 23 for DeChambeau―and as the only player in the top 10 with double-digit finishes inside the top 10 of official events, he remains a strong candidate for the title.

His remarkably consistency means he can get away with some sloppy play, as golf writer Jason Sobel highlighted:

The top 10 is littered with strong challengers, however, and it's hard to argue with DeChambeau's impressive form.

The former NCAA champion has won two PGA Tour events this year and three in the span of the past 14 months.

He has eight official finishes inside the top 10 this year and is a healthy 648 points ahead of Johnson. There are plenty of points still up for grabs in the three remaining tournaments, but it's always better to be playing with a lead.

DeChambeau is not taking any chances:

Finau is the only player inside the top 10 without a PGA Tour win this season, and his 25 events played ranks ahead of all his major rivals for the title.

Thomas was last year's champion, and with three good wins under his belt already this season, he's among the top contenders heading into the Dell Technologies Championship.
