Chuck's Picks:Rory McIlroy – Has the all-around game to tame Pinehurst #2. Clear cut favorite this week and will be in contention

Adam Scott – Playing as well as anyone on the planet right now. Hit’s a lot of greens and has a creative short game which will come in handy

Jason Day – Always finds a way to contend on majors. Has been at Pinehurst since last Thursday and should be anxious to tee it up after a week of practice.

Jonas Blixt – Short game specialist who hits his ball high and long. Good chance to contend if his putter gets hot

Ernie Els – Two time US Open champ. Played well at Memorial and finished 15th here in 2005.

Brendon Todd – 8th, 6th and 1st his last three starts. Gotta ride the hot hand this week.

Matt's Picks:
Matt Kuchar
Yet another week Kuchar earns a spot on my list. It's hard not to take a guy who's mediocre performance is a T17 in THE PLAYERS Championship. He had a victory, a runner-up, and two top fives in the four starts leading up to the THE PLAYERS. Kuch has six total starts at the Byron Nelson, earning paychecks each time. His best finish came in 2011 when he finished in a tie for 6th.  

Jordan Spieth
Spieth has three starts in the HP Byron Nelson, earning paychecks in each start. This will be a home game for Spieth this week, who is coming off a T4 performance in THE PLAYERS Championship. In his last six starts on Tour, Spieth owns two top fours, a top ten, and two top twenty finishes. He currently ranks 6th in scoring average. 

Keegan Bradley
In the last two months, Bradley has two missed cuts, two top tens, and a T43 finish. Consistency is not there for Keegs right now, but he did finish solo runner-up at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Bradley has played at TPC Four Seasons the last three years, earning a victory, a runner-up, and a top twenty-five. 

D.A. Points
D.A. Points has been anything but good recently. He has missed six of his last seven cuts. With that said, last season leading up to his win at the Shell Houston Open, Points missed seven of eight cuts. So why do I like Points this week? In his previous six starts at TPC Four Seasons, D.A. has a third place finish, a top ten, and two other top twenty finishes. His most recent start resulted in a tie for 12th in 2013. 

Robert Garrigus
Garrigus has made the cut in four of his last six events; including two top-5's. Garrigus T4 at the Valspar Championship and T5 at the Zurich Classic. Although he missed the cut last year, Garrigus, who is ranked 103rd in the world, has finished in the top-20 in three of the past five Byron Nelson Championships. Garrigus' best finish came in 2012 when he T9.  

Marc Leishman
Leishman shot a Sunday 67 to boost him up into the top twenty-five in THE PLAYERS Championship.  Leishman has played in the HP Byron Nelson Championship in each of the previous five seasons.  He has two top fifteens and two top tens in those five starts, including a tie for 3rd in 2012.

Chuck's Picks:
Jordan Speith – Made his hometown debut here when he was 16 years old. Has come a long way since then and will have a huge following this week.

Keegan Bradley – 2011 champion plays this course great every year. Clearly not at the top of his game right not but don’t let that persuade you away.

Gary Woodland – Quietly having a very solid year. His distance should help tremendously this week. Putted great at the Players.

Ryo Ishikawa – 8 top 25’s on PGA Tour this year and finished T10 here last year. Ride the hot hand

Freddie Jacobson – Always seems to be one bad round away from winning this tournament. Plays well in Texas and even better when the wind blows

Rory Sabbatini – Recent form is good. 2009 champion here so obviously can go low on this course.

Matt's Picks:
Matt Kuchar
Matt Kuchar won this event in 2012 and hasn't missed a cut since 2008. He has four top twenty-five finishes in nine starts at TPC Sawgrass. Kuchar has finished T5 or better in his previous four starts, including a win at RBC Heritage in his last event. He currently ranks 20th in birdie average and leads the Tour in scoring average. 

Jim Furyk
This will be Furyk's 19th start in THE PLAYERS Championship. He owns eight top twenty-five finishes, three top tens, and a third place finish in 2006. Furyk comes into this week in great form. He finished last week in the runner-up position at the Wells Fargo Championship and had four straight top twenty finishes before that.  

Jordan Spieth
Spieth currently ranks 23rd in putting, 14th in scoring average, and 13th in birdie average. He has three top fifteens in his last four starts, including a runner-up finish in his first start at Augusta. This will be Spieth's first trip to THE PLAYERS Championship, but he has proven that he doesn't need experience at a course to succeed. 

Rory Sabbatini
Sabbatini is on a bit of a hot streak coming into this week. He finished the RBC Heritage in a tie for 9th, placed T17 at Zurich, and ended last week in a tie for 8th. Sabbatini hasn't had the best of luck at TPC Sawgrass, but has earned paycheck in three of his last four visits including a T26 finish in 2011. 

Kevin Chappell
Chappell had his best start of 2014 last week at the Wells Fargo Championship. After three rounds in the 70's, Chappell fired a final round 68 and T11. Chappell has made the cut in two of his three trips to TPC Sawgrass. Last year, Chappell was sitting in 3rd place heading to Saturday, but fell into a tie for 68th after struggling over the weekend. 

Martin Kaymer
Kaymer has earned a paycheck in every trip to THE PLAYERS Championship.  He finished T19 in 2011 and T15 in 2012.  Kaymer has made cuts in his previous three starts and has earned top twenty-five finishes in his last two starts.

Chuck's Picks:
Adam Scott – Former champion here with a slew of other top finishes. Current form is great and should have no problem contending this week.

Henrik Stenson – Another former champion who has a chance to dominate this course if he gets the flat stick going. Pick him with confidence.

Jim Furyk – Knows this course better than anybody in the field. Great finish last week at Quail Hollow should give him some momentum.

Francesco Molinari – Playing well as of late and does have a 9th here to his credit. No missed cuts on U.S. soil this year and admittedly loves the Stadium course.

Seung-Yol Noh – Already a winner once this year and a great ball striker. Should find this tee to green course right up his alley

Jeff Overton – Been playing great the last two weeks so I’m rolling with the hot hand. Putter can be a bit clumsy at times but showing signs of improvement

Jeremy's Picks:
Matt Kuchar - Gotta love the way Kuchar has been playing.
 
Phil Mickelson - As a former champion he obviously has the ability to win here.  What I like about him this week is that he is beginning to get into form for the US Open.
 
Sergio Garcia - This is a place that Sergio always seems to play pretty well.
 
Dark Horse
 
KJ Choi - Winner here a couple years ago, he has the ability to surprise.
 
Ryan Palmer - Has had many good rounds this year as shown by Yahoo Fantasy stats, tought to leave him out of your lineup.
 
Pat Perez - He has had a great year thus far and is worthy of a dark horse selection.

Drew's Picks:
Matt Kuchar:
Matt won here in 2012, and right now is the hottest golfer on the planet.  He had two weeks rest since his win at the Heritage, see a top 5 coming his way.

Jim Furyk:
Jim's last four starts have resulted in a 6th, 14th, 7th, and a 2nd. That makes him probably the 2nd hottest golfer on the planet! He says last week he figured out something amiss with his alignment before the final round, fixed it, and shot a 65!   I hope he remembers what worked.

Graeme McDowell:
Graeme says this tight course "fits his eye."  He's 15th in Driving Accuracy and second in SGP.  His last win was at Harbour Town, another tight Pete Dye course.


DarkHorses:

Kevin Stadler:
Kevin's stats are what drew me to him this week.  8th in Total Driving and Ball Striking, T2 for Par 3 Scoring, and a respectable 34th in Par 5 scoring.  All that stuff is important this week.  Plus, now that he has a win under his big belt, he might handle the pressureof being near the top of the leaderboard better.

J.B. Holmes:
Yes, I realize he got a very emotional win last week, and that usually results in a letdown the following week.  But he does have 4 top 20's here, including 2 top 10's.  I think he'll continue his good playing.

Will Mackenzie:
Just a hunch here.  Will ranks 5th in Par 3 scoring, 23rd in Par 5's.  All the rest of his stats are in the ballpark for at least a top 20.  Let's see what happens.

Cathy's Picks:
Matt Kuchar - well, besides my heart, Kuchar's stats are sending signals that he's a great pick - and he's a former winner here.

Adam Scott - I just have a gut feeling he's going to put it all together for a good finish this week.

Bubba Watson - this was a tough pick, since I had Steve Stricker in this slot before deciding that Watson may let his creativity take over and make some great shots this week.

Dark Horses:
Erik Compton - I'd love to see a great Top 10 finish for Compton this week - he's been stringing together some great rounds for the past month or so.

Ernie Els - well, just a plain ol' heart pick for me.

Kenny Perry - I've been reading about how the Seniors are due to make a splash on the regular tour so why not KP and why not this week!

Chuck's Picks:
Rory McIlroy – Former champion here and owner of the course record 62. Rory has a stellar track record at this event and should play well on one of his self-proclaimed favorite 10 golf courses in the world.

Lee Westwood – T5 here last year and T4 in 2012. Is long off the tee and usually accurate as well. This is a recipe for success around Quail Hollow.

Justin Rose – Might finally be rounding into shape after T14 at Augusta and T8 last week in NOLA. It’s just a matter of time before he hoists another trophy. Could be this week.

Dark

Jason Kokrak – Certainly has the length to play well here. Was in the hunt last year until a final round 80 spoiled his chances. Playing much better this year than last and should find it helpful sleeping in his own bed this week.

JB Holmes – Fulfilled his major medical exemption requirement last week and can rest easy now. Length is no problem and his putter has been hot lately.

Robert Karlson – Finished 4th here last year and has been playing great golf across the pond this season. Top 15’s in all of his starts on American soil so far this year. Also has a short commute to work this week

Drew's Picks:
Rory McIlroy:
I'm keeping my rationale/commentary to a minimum this week until I get my mojo, or whatever I lost last week back.  Rory's played well here, 1st 2010, 2nd 2012, and 10th last year.  

Lee Westwood:
Lee is coming off a victory last week in Malaysia, hope the jet lag doesn't get him.  

Ryan Moore:
Ryan has a 5th and 6th in his last two starts here.  His iron play and putter should put him in contention this week.


Darkhorses:

Jason Kokrak:
Jason lives down the road from Quail Hollow, so should have some local support.   His distance and long iron play might get him to a top 10.

Robert Karlsson:  
Robert finished 4th here last year, and has a 10th, 6th and 14th in his three PGA events this year.  He also lives locally.

J.B. Holmes:
J.B. has been playing much better of late.  Just a hunch that he will do well this week.

Matt's Picks:
Rory McIlroy
In four trips to the Wells Fargo Championship, McIlroy has a victory, a runner-up, and a top ten. Although McIlroy has yet to earn a victory this season, he has been putting up solid results. He has earned four top tens and two other top twenty-fives in six starts on Tour. He had a runner-up finish in the Honda Classic and recently finished T8 at the Masters.

Phil Mickelson
Mickeson has five top twenty-fives in tens starts this season. Four of his other five starts have resulted in missed cuts or withdrawals. Even with the inconsistent start, Mickelson's record in the Wells Fargo event can't be ignored. He has never missed the cut in this event, owns two third place finishes, and one runner-up.

Jim Furyk
Besides two missed cuts in this event, Furyk hasn't finished outside of the top twenty-six. He has a victory and a runner-up at Quail Hollow, along with two other top tens. Furyk has four straight starts resulting in top twenties coming into this week. He finished T14 at the Masters and T7 at the RBC Heritage.


J.B. Holmes
JB Holmes currently ranks 242nd in the world, but has regained his form this season. He has three straight top twenty performances coming into the Wells Fargo. He has also earned paychecks in ten of his eleven starts on the season. He hasn't had stellar results at Quail Hollow, but did finish T9 in 2011.

Brian Harman
Harman is 11 for 15 with four top-10's in the 2013/2014 season. In his most recent start, the little lefty T7 at the RBC Heritage. Harman will be making his third career appearance at Quail Hollow. Harman, the 111th ranked player in the world, T57 in 2012 and T10 last year.

Robert Karlsson
In three starts on the PGA Tour this season, Robert Karlsson had three top fifteens.  He finished T6 at the OHL Classic, T10 at The McGladrey Classic, and T14 at the Puerto Rico Open.  Last season in the Wells Fargo Championship, Karlsson finished T4.  

Cathy's Picks:
It's a Heart Pick kind of week for me!
Phil Mickelson has had a good history here, and while at first I thought he was a lock, I did let my heart make the final decision on Lefty.


Jimmy Walker...this is like a heart forgiveness pick for me, after his 1 missed cut of the year knocked me out of Buzz's Make the Cut Challenge, I was a little miffed at Walker, but his consistency seems like it could pay off here and he had a decent T22 last year.


Bill Haas is another heart pick for me. While he's had 2 MC's in the past 2 years, he did have a 4th place finish here in '11 and he's due for a good week!


Dark Horses:
Brendon de Jonge - insanity is back!!  How can I not pick de Jonge when there's a chance he could get his first win.  He's due, sometime and this is a week he may have a chance.

KJ Choi-just a general heart feeling here that he could have a good week and make a Top 25 finish.

Kevin Na - he's had some good streaks this year and I think after cooling off a few weeks he could make a good run at Quail Hollow.

Jeremy's Picks:
Rickie Fowler - Going back to Fowler again after he burned me last week.  This is the site of his only PGA tour win, and besides last week he has been playing great golf lately.  Look for him to bounce back.
 
Webb Simpson - Quail Hollow is his home course, he has to know it better than anyone.  I will take that advantage.
 
Rory McIlroy - As a past champion of this event he has an excellent history here.
 
 
Dark Horse
 
Bo Van Pelt - Has a handful of top 5 finishes here.  He has made the past 2 cuts and might be showing some signs of life.
 
Cameron Tringale - My go to Dark Horse.  Still waiting on that W.
 
Lucas Glover - Although he has missed a boat load of cuts this year, he loves this golf course.

Chuck's Picks:
Rickie Fowler – 5th at Houston and 6th at Augusta, Rickie is clearly playing well right now. Can hit the ball right to left which is important at this Pete Dye track.

Graham Delaet – One of the top ranked players is this week’s depleted field. Has been knocking on the door all year and can hit greens in his sleep. It will come down to putting but I like his chances.

Matt Every – Already a winner this year at Bay Hill and playing great golf at the moment. Doesn’t seem to suffering any hangovers after finishing 12th last week in Hilton Head.

William McGirt – Fresh off his 9th place finish last week at Harbour Town. Tends to play well on Pete Dye tracks (including the Cardinal CC in Greensboro where I watched him while still an amateur). Makes a lot of birdies and well rested.

Charles Howell III – Good track here in NOLA and says he loves this course.  Has cooled off a bit lately but does have 5 top 10’s this year. I think he’ll be in the hunt this week for sure.

Chris Stroud – This venue seems to favor first time winners on tour and Stroud fits the bill. Has been playing really steady golf this year while flying under the radar. I really like his chances this week.

Matt's Picks:
John Senden  
Senden has survived six consecutive cuts coming into the Zurich Classic. He recently finished T8 at Augusta and earned his first career victory at the Valspar Championship. In his last nine trips to New Orleans, Senden has earned eight paychecks including four top twenties. 

Justin Rose  
Justin Rose has entered this event the last five consecutive years. In his previous two trips, Rose finished tied for 15th and tied for 10th. He has two top fifteen finishes in his last three starts, with his most recent being a T14 at The Masters. 

Rickie Fowler  
After a slow start to the season, Fowler has found his form as of late. He landed in 6th place at the Shell Houston Open and finished tied for 5th at the Masters. Fowler has made the trip to New Orleans the last three years, earning money every year. He finished 2012 in a tie for 10th. 


J.B. Holmes  
J.B. Holmes is quietly putting up good results this season. He has made nine cuts in ten events and has earned four top twenties in his last four starts. Holmes is one for two at TPC Louisiana, finishing T13 in 2012.  

Cameron Tringale  
Tringale missed the cut last year at the Zurich Classic, but finished T28 or better in his previous three visits before that. He finished T7 here in 2012. Tringale has made ten of his last eleven cuts and has four top fifteens in that stretch. He recently finished 4th at the Shell Houston Open. 

Nicholas Thompson  
Thompson has made the cut in four of his last five starts. Thompson owns top-25's in each of his past two events; including T12 at last week's RBC Heritage. Thompson is 3 for 4 with two top-10's at TPC Louisiana. Thompson T4 in 2008 and T7 in 2010.  

Drew's Picks:
Graham DeLaet:
I think this could be the week for DeLaet to get his first PGA win.  He has a mixed record here; a MC in 2010, a 4th in 2012, and a 47th last year.  The relatively short rough this week, combined with wide fairways should reward his length vs lack of accuracy off the tee.  He's 3rd in GIR, just needs his putter to get hot.

Ricky Fowler:
Ricky's record here is nothing to get excited about, but his current form of 5th and 6th in his last two starts is.  A momentum pick this week.

Ryan Palmer:
If pure stats could determine a winner, Ryan Palmer would be my top choice this week.  He's 15th in Driving Distance and GIR, 6th in Par 4 Scoring Average, and 7th in Par 5 Scoring Average.  

Dark Horses:

Kevin Stadler:
Mini-Walrus is coming off a T8 at the Masters and a T8 here last year.  I should consult my Magic 8 Ball, but I can't find it!  Kevin's 20th in GIR, 10th in Total Driving, and 12th in Birdie Average.  His good play should continue in Louisiana this week.

Freddie "Junkman" Jacobson:
Freddie is playing very well, all top 20's in his last 5 starts.  His putter is smokin' and that will help this week on the undulating greens in NOLA.

Lucas Glover:
Lucas says he loves this course and tournament.  He has a 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th in his last 7 starts at the Zurich.  I can't find anyone else with better course form than that this week, all he needs is a win!

Chuck's Picks:Luke Donald – Perfect game for this course. Two 2nds and two 3rds at Harbour town. Well rested after an early exit at Augusta. Overdue for the Tartan jacket.

Jim Furyk – Harbour Town is a ball strikers course and Furyk fits the bill. 2010 winner here and coming off a solid effort at The Masters last week. I’d be very surprised if he’s not in the mix come Sunday

Zach Johnson – Tough call here over Speith. I’m giving the edge to Zach because his game is better suited for Harbour Town. Plays well on Pete Dye courses and length is not much help this week.

Dark Horses:

Boo Weekly – Two time winner at this event. Current form doesn’t seem to matter. Boo is a horse for this course and should be in contention once again.

Kevin Na – Has been playing great golf recently and has success around this track. Top tens in his last two starts here.

Stewart Cink – Another two time champion here and may be starting to put the pieces together after a closing 68 at Augusta last week.

Matt's Picks:
Jim Furyk  
In fifteen trips to this event, Jim Furyk has made the cut twelve times, earned six top tens, two runner-ups, and a victory. He is seven for seven on the season, with five top twenty-five finishes. He recently finished T6 at the Valero Texas Open and T14 at the Masters.
 
Luke Donald  
Luke Donald may have missed the cut last week at Augusta, but had four consecutive top twenty-fives in the four starts before. He finished T4 at the Valspar Championship and T8 at the Honda Classic. In his last five starts in the Heritage, Donald has two runner-ups and two third place finishes.  

Matt Kuchar  
This has been a regular stop on Kuchar's schedule over the years, but he only has two top tens in ten trips. Even with mediocre results at the Heritage, you can't ignore is recent play. Kuchar has three top fives in his last three starts and leads the PGA Tour with seven top tens. 

Dark Horses:

Brice Garnett  
Brice Garnett has played in thirteen events on the 2013-2014 PGA Tour season. In those thirteen events, he has earned eleven paychecks. Garnett is coming off a T7 performance in his most recent start at the Shell Houston Open. This will be his first trip to the Heritage. 

Jerry Kelly  
The grizzled veteran is a ball striker that excels on short tracks in his older age. Kelly had success here in the mid-2000's finishing T5 in 2006 and was the 54-hole leader in 2007 before finishing T8. Kelly had a strong showing last year finishing solo 5th. He finished T6 in his last start at Valero which was his 3rd top 10 of 2014.  

Will MacKenzie
MacKenzie has a streak of eight consecutive cuts made coming into this event.  In his last four events, MacKenzie has a runner-up, a T4, and a T6 finish.  MacKenzie currently ranks 3rd and all-around, 4th in scoring average, and 11th in strokes gained putting.  In five starts in the Heritage Willy Mac has earned five paychecks.

Jeremy's Picks:Jim Furyk - Furyk is playing excellent golf so far this year and I believe the RBC might be a chance for him to pick up his first win since 2010, a year that he also won this tournment.
 
Jordan Spieth - His play speaks for itself.  I'm starting to look at him as free points because I'm not sure he can play bad enough to finish outside of the top 20.
 
Brandt Snedeker - Snedeker is usually a mark of consistency.

Dark Horses:
Cameron Tringale - I leave him out of my dark horse lineup and he places 4th.  That gets him off the bench.
 
Boo Weekley - A 2 time winner of this event, he has had great success here in the past.
 
Charley Hoffman - Finished in the top 10 his past two trips to Harbour Town.

Matt's Picks:Matt Kuchar
In his last four trips to Augusta National, Kuchar has finished T27 or better. He finished T8 last season and ended 2012 in a tie for 3rd. Kuchar is coming off a runner-up finish at the Shell Houston Open and finished the Valero Texas Open in a tie for 4th. Kuchar is still looking for that first major, and I believe this will be his year.

Lee Westwood
Although Westwood only has two top twenty-fives in nine starts on the season, he is coming off a T17 at the Shell Houston Open. In recent year, Westwood has always found a way to contend in majors. He finished T11 or better in each of his previous four visits to Augusta, including a runner-up in 2010 and a tie for 3rd in 2012.

Luke Donald
Luke Donald is quietly playing very well as of late. He has two top tens and another two top twenty-fives in his last four starts. He finished T8 at the Honda Classic and T4 at the Valspar Championship. Luke Donald finished the Masters in tie for 4th in 2011 and ended last year with a top twenty-five.

Sergio Garcia
Garcia has four top tens in his previous five starts on the PGA Tour. He finished with a solo 3rd at the Shell Houston Open. Last season at Augusta, Garcia shot a 66 on his opening round and found himself in a tie for 8th when the tournament ended. He has three career top tens and a top twenty-five in the season's opening major championship.

Jason Day
Day has a win and a runner-up finish in three 2014 starts. Due to a thumb injury, Day has not teed it up since his victory at the Match Play Championship. Day will be making his fourth career appearance at Augusta. Day T2 in 2011 and finished solo 3rd last year. Despite not playing since mid-February, Day is my pick to take home his first major championship.

Chuck's Picks:Sergio Garcia – In my opinion the best player on tour to not have won a major. Sergio has all the tools to slip on the green jacket. His game has been sharp recently and without Tiger in the field he won’t have to worry about any verbal confrontations.
Phil Mickelson – I know Phil is dealing with some back pain but I fully expect him to be ready come Thursday. Obviously loves this course and will play through any lingering pain to claim his 4th green jacket. Pick Phil with confidence this week and you will be happy you did.
Hunter Mahan – Last year Mahan was a force to be reckoned with at the majors. Such a great ball striker if he can only improve his scrambling he’ll be in contention this week.
Jason Day -  Another player who shines in majors and seems like he’s always in the hunt come Sunday at Augusta. Well rested while nursing his wrist back to health.  He wants to prove he belongs in the golf elite.
Brandt Snedeker – Flying a bit off the radar this week and that’s just the way Sneds likes it. Four top 20’s in his last five trips down Magnolia lane. Has the demeanor, experience and hot putter to get it done.

Matt's Picks:
Keegan Bradley  
Keegan Bradley is three for three at Redstone and has finished in the top ten that last two seasons. He has eight consecutive rounds under par on this track. Bradley is coming of a solo runner-up at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and has six other top twenty-fives on the season. He currently ranks 22nd in driving distance, 21st in scoring average, and 11th in birdie average. 

Matt Kuchar  
Last week in the Valero Texas Open, Kuchar finished tied for 4th. He was in 2nd going into Sunday before shooting 3 over par on his final round. In his last two trips to Redstone, Kuchar finished tied for 8th both in 2011 and 2010. Expect Kuchar to bounce back this week after a disappointing Sunday. 

Dustin Johnson  
Johnson is one of many top pros playing this week in preparation for the Masters. He missed the cut in this event in 2008 and 2009, but tied for 4th here last season. He already has a victory and two runner-ups this season. His last started ended in a tie for 4th in the Cadillac Championship. 
 
Dark Horses

Cameron Tringale  
Tringale is three for three at Redstone, earning paychecks each of the last three seasons. Last year he finished in a tie for 16th and placed T8 in 2012. Tringale has a string of nine consecutive cuts made coming into this event. In that run, he has three top fifteens and a top twenty-five. 

Andrew Loupe  
In his past two starts on the PGA Tour, Loupe has finished in the top-12. This past weekend at the Valero Texas Open, Loupe was T2 going into the final round but shot a 75 and fell into a tie for 4th. Loupe will be making his first career start at the Golf Club of Houston. 

Brendon Todd  
It's Todd! Brendon Todd. Todd has quietly put together a solid season in 2013/14. He currently ranks 37th in FedEx Cup points. Todd is coming off a T6 last week in San Antonio. The 132nd ranked player in the world is playing well and could pick up his 6th top 25 of the year.  

Chuck's Picks:
Dustin Johnson – Great track record here, hits it a mile, has yet to place worse than T10 this year. Nuff said! Put him in your lineup this week for sure!

Keegan Bradley – Finished 4th here in 2012 and 10th last year. Long hitter and well rested after taking a week’s rest since finishing 2nd at Bay Hill.

Graham Delaet – Is having the best year of his career. Hits it long and also accurate. Would love his first PGA Tour win and cruise down Magnolia lane next week

Dark Horse

Jason Kokrak – One of the longest hitters on tour which will come in very handy this week. Seven top 20’s already this year so the form is there as well.

Daniel Summerhays – Believe it or not I almost picked him last week. Has been playing consistent golf all year and should ride the momentum from last week’s 2nd place finish.

Carl Pettersson – Has been quietly sneaking up the leaderboards the last few weeks. Has the length to tame this course and the long putter has been hot lately.

Jeremy's Picks:
Luke Donald - He has only played in 3 stroke play events on the PGA Tour in 2014 but all 3 finishes were in the Top 25 including a 4th place finish in his last event.
 
Keegan Bradley - His game really seems to be coming together after carding a 2nd place finish at Bay Hill.
 
Dustin Johnson - I'm a little wary of this choice to be fair just because he hasn't played in almost a month.  It is hard to argue with his performance prior to the vacation.
 
 
Dark Horse 
 
Matteo Manassero - I always thought this kid was just a name that couldn't hack it on the American Tour.  He has finished 2 of his last 3 events in the top 12 so I'm going to give him a chance.
 
Charles Howell III - He has had a bunch of top 10 finishes this year as well as one last year at this tournament.
 
Ben Crane - Don't ask me why, I've got a feeling about him this week.

Drew's Picks:
Dustin Johnson:
Dustin is still on fire, all top 10's in stroke play events this season, including a win, two 2nd's a 4th and a 6th.  He's first in GIR, second in driving distance and 11th in Strokes Gained Putting stats, I think those, and generous fairways, will trump his 114th in accuracy off the tee this week.

Graham DeLaet:
Graham DeLaet finished 3rd here in 2010, followed by a MC and a 31st in 2012 and 2013.  He's a much improved player over last year, 4th in GIR and 12th in Total Driving.  I think he's motivated to get his first Tour win this week.

Henrik Stenson:
Henrik can take the #1 spot in the OWGR with a win this week, that's pretty motivating!  He started the 2014 season a little slow, and his sore wrist seems to have healed, evidenced by his 5th at the API, where he led the field in Driving Accuracy and GIR.  He has a 2nd and 3rd in three starts in Houston.


DH's:

Jason Kokrak:

Plenty of room off the tee and minimal rough for this bomber.  He plays well in the wind, finished 9th here last year, and 4th at the API two weeks ago.  

Seung-Yul Noh:
His stats and T16 last week, plus a hunch, make me feel S-YNoh can rise to a top 10 this week.

Brian Davis:
My pick of Brian Davis is based purely on course form, a T4 in 2012 and T6 last year.  Good enough for a Dark Horse in my book!

Matt's Picks:
Jim Furyk  
Furyk is five for five on the season with three top twenty-five showings. He is coming off a T20 performance at the Valspar Championship. Furyk entered the 2013 Valero Texas Open when it was played at TPC San Antonio, and he shot four sub-par rounds and finished tied for 3rd. 

Matt Kuchar  
Kuchar has played in this event twice since it's move to TPC San Antonio, both times earning a top twenty-five. Last season he finished T22 and the previous visit tied for 13th. Kuchar started out the 2013-2014 season by earning top tens in four of his first five starts. Since then he finished T13 at the Cadillac Championship and T38 at the Valspar Championship. I expect Kuchar to find his way back into the top ten this week. 

Ryan Palmer
Palmer has played this event in each of the previous four years.  He finished tied for 9th in 2010, tied for 32nd in 2012, and tied for 15th last season.  In three of his last five starts, Palmer has earned two runner-ups and a T8.  His hasn't missed a cut in his last seven starts this season.

Freddie Jacobson  
In seven starts in this event, Jacobson hasn't finished outside of the top thirty. Since the event has been moved to TPC San Antonio, he has finished runner-up, T5, T18, and T15. Jacobson also appears to be trending in the right direction, earning top twenties in his last three starts. 

Charley Hoffman  
Sporting a new haircut this season, Hoffman has looked like a new man in more than one way. He has already earned three top tens and six top twenty-fives. In his last two starts, Hoffman finished T12 at the Northern Trust Open and T25 at the Valspar Championship. Hoffman has performed well at the Valero Texas Open. He has a runner-up, 3rd place finish, and two T13 finishes since 2010. 

Kevin Chappell  
Since 2011, Kevin Chappell has placed runner-up and T15 at the Valero Texas Open. He recently finished T14 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, shooting under par in all four rounds. Chappell's good ball striking will be key at this course, and if he can find his way on the greens he could be the fifth first time winner this season. 

Chuck's Picks:
Jimmy Walker – Fed Ex points leader and San Antonio local should be the cream of the crop this week. I wouldn’t be too quick ruling out a 4th win this year.

Jordon Speith – One of the strongest players in a depleted field this week. Another Texas native who seems to be a top 20 machine these days.

Matt Kuchar – Kuch has SEVEN top tens this year and only one missed cut. Placed 38th last week but should get back to his top ten ways again this week on a course that suits his game perfectly.

Ryan Palmer – West Texas native has been playing great this year. Made it to a playoff at the Honda a couple weeks back. Plays well in the wind and should have plenty of local support this week.

Jason Kokrak – I’ve had my eye on him this year and he’s starting to warm up. Last three starts are 41st, 14th, 4th. Finished T15 here last year and should have good memories

Ryo Ishikawa – great ball striker, great scrambler, great wind player. T8 last week at Bay Hill. If he can get the flat stick working he could be the man to beat this week.

Jeremy's Picks:
Phil Mickelson - Beginning his preparation for the Masters, I expect him to bring his A game.
 
Jim Furyk - Tied for 3rd here last year and has had a improved year thus far.
 
Zach Johnson - He has won this event twice but at a different course.  He missed the cut here 2 years ago but his game is in a much better place now.
 
Dark Horse
 
Freddie Jacobson - Finished in the Top 20 the past 3 years and played well his past few tournaments.
 
Jason Kokrak  - A solid week at Bay Hill should give him some confidence on a course he has played well on before.
 
Cameron Tringale - This kid will win a PGA event sometime, why not at the place where he first found himself in contention.

Drew's Picks:
Billy Horschel:
Billy  had the 54 hole lead last year but faded to a T3 with a final round 71.  He's 4th in total driving, very accurate and long enough.  That accuracy should help him avoid the mess off the fairways.

Jimmy Walker:
Jimmy is a San Antonio resident, so he gets to sleep in his own bed this week.  His putting has been excellent, and he leads the tour in Par 4 performance.

Jordan Spieth:
Jordan is a Texan, used to playing in the winds I expect to see, mainly on Friday.  He's had a 41st and a MC in his two appearances here, not very impressive, but I'm betting on a much better result this week.

DH's:

Freddie Jacobson:

Freddie "The Junkman" again!  Freddie's last three tournaments have been a T12, T20, and T10, and he's had a 2nd (2010), 5th (2011), and a T15 (2013) at the Valero.  Unless he strays too far into the junk, a la Kevin Na a few years ago, his scrambling should come in handy.  He's also 7th in Strokes Gained Putting.

Jason Kokrak:

Jason's been playing well of late, 7 out of 8 starts in 2014 inside the top 20.  He bombs it off the tee, and whatever else he's doing seems to be working.

Ryan Palmer:

Ryan has been in the top 10 in three of his five starts in 2014, including a 2nd and 2nd in a playoff.  He ranks 19th in GIR, 4th in Par 5 Scoring Average, and 10th in Par 4 SA.  Also, another Texan who can handle the wind.

Matt's Picks:
Justin Rose  
In his last three trips to Bay Hill,
Justin Rose has three top fifteen finishes. Last season he finished runner-up to
Tiger and in 2011 he tied for 3rd place. Rose is coming off his first top ten of
the season since the HSBC Champions event in November. 

Bubba Watson  
Bubba has been on fire as of late,
earning top tens in each of his last four events. He finished runner-up in the
Waste Management Open and the Cadillac Championship, and was victorious at the
Northern Trust Open. Watson has finished in the top twenty-five in his last
three trips to Bay Hill. He finished T14 last season and T4 in
2012. 

Tiger Woods  
Although his health concerns me,
Tiger's record at Bay Hill cannot be ignored. He has won this event in four of
his five previous starts. He has a total of eight victories on this track in his
career. His back was definitely bothering him the final round at Doral, but he
did manage to post the best round on Saturday. With a week off to rest, Tiger
should be in the mix once again at Bay Hill. 

Dark Horses:
Kevin Na  
After coming back from injury, Kevin
Na has managed to earn full status by winning enough money on his medical
exemption. He already has three top fives on the season and another top ten. He
currently ranks 34th in greens hit, 23 in strokes gained putting, and 9th in
scoring average. In three of his last four trips to Bay Hill, Na finished T4 in
2012, T2 in 2010 and T11 in 2009. 

William McGirt  
McGirt doesn't have standout results
this season, but he does have a T19 and a T6 in his last four starts. What I
like about McGirt this week is his well rounded play. He ranks 40th in accuracy,
47th in greens, and 34th in putting. In three trips to Bay Hill, McGirt has
earned three paychecks and finished with a top ten last
season. 

Brian Harman
Harman has four top twenty-fives on
the season, three of which were top tens.  He is coming off a T25
performance at the Valspar and recently earned a tie for 3rd at the Northern
Trust Open.  Harman currently ranks 25th in strokes gained putting and 24th
in scoring average.   In 2012, Harman finished T15 at the Arnold Palmer
Invitational.

Jeremy's Picks:

Top Picks
 
Keegan Bradley - He is my replacement for Tiger's ailing back.  He presents
a solid option and barely missed my initial cut.
 
Graeme McDowell - Has a great history here with 2 runner up
finishes, plus he gets to sleep in his own bed at night.
 
Justin Rose - Last year's runner up finisher is due for a break out
week.
 
Dark Horse
 
Matt Every -
Playing great golf this season already having carded 4 top 10
finishes.
 
Kevin Na - A resurgence last week has put him on my radar
at Bay Hill.
 
Sang-Moon Bae - Putting up back to back top 15
finishes will definitely land you on my dark horse squad.

Drew's Picks:Bubba Watson:
Bubba's game still is firing on all cylinders>  I see a top 5, if not a win this week for him.

Graeme McDowell:
Graeme McDowell is a fast green master, which should help this week.  He has two  2nd's in 6 starts here, and 3 top 10's in his last 4 tour starts.

Gary Woodland:
Gary's last three tour starts have been 33rd, 16th, and an 8th, a progression headed in the right direction.  Lots of room off the tees at the API, combined with his length  should get him on the greens easily in regulation, he just needs a hot putter.

Dark Horses:

Will McKenzie:
Will's game is in fine shape, a 6th and a 4th in his last two starts. He's improved to 15 in Strokes Gained Putting, which should yield some good rounds.

Freddie Jacobson:
Freddie "The Junkman" Jacobson shouldn't have much junk to worry about this week, but he's 9th in the SGP stat.  Otherwise just a hunch!

Kevin Na:
Kevin finished 2nd last week at the Valspar.  In his previous four appearances at the API he's finished 11th, 2nd, 30th, and 4th, that's pretty good course form.  He needs to speed up his play a bit, the officials might be watching him extra close this week, he can't let that throw him off.

Chuck's Picks:Bubba Watson – A win and two runner ups in his last three starts. I wouldn’t want to bet against him this week.

Chris Kirk – Been playing great this year. 12th at the Honda and solid outing at Doral. Still trying to prove to everyone he can be a regular threat on the PGA tour

Graeme McDowell – Tough choice here but should I think he capitalize on a tigerless field this week. Always plays well on tough courses.
 
Matt Every – Four top tens this year including a T8 last week at Copperhead. Yeah he’ll be on my team again this week for the third week in a row.

Kevin Na – Perhaps nobody is more streaky than Kevin Na. Take him with confidence this week as he’s rides out his hot streak.

Chris Stroud – Feels like stealing to have him listed as a dark horse. Grew up playing Arnold Palmer courses and would love nothing more than to “impress the King” with a victory.
