This week’s field includes:
The field includes 6 of the top 50 in the latest Official World Rankings, with one top-ten player #9 Matt Kuchar. The other top 50 players are #19 Jimmy Walker, #20 Hideki Matsuyama, #22 Hunter Mahan, #45 Lee Westwood and #48 Kevin Streelman. That is three more top-50 players than were in the field last year.
One bit of bad news, Patrick Reed was initially in the field, that is until he got an invite to play in next week’s very lucrative World Match Play Championship in London.
The field includes 5 of the Top 25 on last year’s final FedEx point standings for 2014. Those players include #6 Hunter Mahan, #7 Jimmy Walker, #8 Matt Kuchar, #22 Camron Tringale and #22 Gary Woodland.
The field includes 4 players in the top 25 on last year’s PGA Tour money list, #4 Jimmy Walker, #9 Matt Kuchar, #22 Hunter Mahan and #23 Harris English.
The field includes all 5 past champions: Jimmy Walker (2014), Jonas Blixt (2012), Bryce Molder (2011), Troy Matteson (2009), and Mike Weir (2007).
