Returning to Napa, Calif., for this year's Procore Championship was special enough for California native Sahith Theegala.Being the event's defending champion makes it even sweeter.Theegala will go for his second straight Procore Championship title when he and 29 fellow competitors tee off Thursday at Silverado Country Club to open the four-day tournament with a $6 million purse."I just know it's going to be a super fun week because a lot of my family really makes an effort to come up here, a lot of my friends come up, a lot of my girlfriend's friends will be here, and family.

It will just be a really fun time," Theegala said Wednesday." ... Feels like a second home being here. Yeah, just good vibes and just a very relaxed, chill week for sure."Playing roughly 450 miles north of his hometown Orange, Theegala posted a 21-under 267 to win by two strokes at last year's event, known then as the Fortinet Championship.

It remains the 26-year-old's lone PGA Tour victory since debuting in 2020.Theegala will make his fifth appearance at a tournament he said became one of his favorites even before last year's victory."I think it's such a cool and unique spot on the Tour.

We're pretty far from any big city and feel secluded in a good way," he said. "The people that come out are true golf fans. It's pretty cool to see the amount of turnout out here because it's not easy to get to."Theegala is also wary of the challenges embedded within the par-72, 7,123-yard course.
