This year
The Field contains a NUMBER of big names, especially when you consider its easily one of the least-liked courses on Tour. Thanks to that the event will move to a new course next year,
My projections for the field are above. The players listed are roughly my top 20 picks, then I delve into specifics for each one, to narrow those 20 down to 7 Players (Those which names are green)
So that being said: My top picks this week are: Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen, Russell Henley, Bud Cauley, Kevin Tway, Smylie Kaufman and Nick Taylor
