The field is loaded, with Furyk and Phil Mickelson among the headliners. Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker is in the field. So, too, are golfers like Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Padraig Harringon and Vijay Singh.
Want more depth? It includes nine in the field who are members of the World Golf Hall of Fame —Fred Couples, Els, Goosen, Bernhard Langer, Davis Love II, Mickelson, Colin Montgomerie, Jose Maria Olazabal and Singh.
