Literally every single golfer on the PGA Tour owes Tiger Woods a debt that can’t be repaid. Woods increased awareness, sponsor interest, and paychecks on Tour to astronomical levels, and it’s why, even now, the most self-aware players have no problem with the fact that they’ll always get questions about Woods. Kaymer spoke of Woods’ inspiration and his ability to bridge gaps and bring together diverse groups.

(Note: FedExCup rankings in parentheses) Related links: Tee times | Field | Course THURSDAY Si Woo Kim (27), Jimmy Walker (99), Billy Hurley III (102): The PLAYERS Champion joins with the defending PGA Championship winner and the defending Quicken Loans National winner. Kim is always entertaining. You never know just which version of the young Korean star you’ll see. While he followed up his PLAYERS win with a missed cut and a WD he was in the thick of it at the U.S. Open before finishing T13. Walker has been putting fatigue issues behind him and building towards the major winning form of last year while Hurley III is looking to once again provide one of the more emotional performances of the season as he did on the way to victory last year. Tee time: 8:10 a.m. Eastern off 10th tee. Rickie Fowler (9), Marc Leishman (14), Adam Hadwin (12): Three winners this season headlined by Fowler who has been threatening to grab more trophies to go with his one from the Honda Classic. With two top-5’s in his last three starts, including contending heavily at the U.S. Open, Fowler is ready to go the extra mile. Leishman is desperate to make another statement in the FedExCup race as he takes his last start before the Open Championship. His third child, and first daughter, is due next week. He will take a mini break and as such wants to rack up another high finish. Hadwin continues to forge forward this season with the clear goal of making the Presidents Cup – Leishman is a likely teammate. Tee time: 8:21 a.m. Eastern off 10th tee. FRIDAY Patrick Reed (53), Billy Horschel (16). Bill Haas (26): Reed, fresh off a T5 finish last week, joins two former FedExCup champions in this exciting trio. Reed’s fireworks have been turning up of late, but only for three of four rounds. Is this the week he brings it together for all four? Six of his last seven results have been inside the top 25. We call that trending. Horschel is playing with a freedom after his win at the AT&T Bryon Nelson and the fact his off-course situation is more settled while Haas has quietly put together a consistent season and comes off a T5 at the U.S. Open. Tee time: 8:10 a.m. Eastern off 10th tee. Justin Thomas (3), Kevin Chappell (25), Wesley Bryan (24): Thomas will be ready to roll. The disappointment of missing out at the U.S. Open coupled with last week’s missed cut will have his competitive juices flowing. Not to mention he watched Jordan Spieth win again – and called the bunker shot – which will have him wanting to add a fourth win on the season. Three top-10s in his last five starts… expect great things. Joining Thomas are fellow winners this season in Bryan and Chappell. Chappell loves tough courses, Bryan loves using his imagination. Both sit inside the top 25 of the FedExCup looking to move in deeper. Tee time: 8:21 a.m. Eastern off 10th tee.
