— Tiger Woods Found. (@TWFoundation) July 28, 2015
This tournament is classed as an invitational, which means the field will be 120 players instead of the usual 156. That number does little to dilute the talent pool, though, and there are a number of golfers who have the ability to win this one. This will be the 9th time that this tournament has been played, and it has been an American player who has won 5 of the previous 8, with Tiger Woods nabbing 2 of those.
Justin Rose is the only other golfer to in it more than once, and he is coming in as the defending champion. Rose has been in good form all year, winning one tournament and landing in the top 10 on 4 other occasions. He had a solid outing at The Open, finishing 5th at St. Andrews. He is likely going to be the one to beat this weekend.
Rickie Fowler’s most recent win came in Scotland, but it was unfortunately not at the British Open. He won the Scottish Open the weekend before the big one, and has also managed 5 top 25 finishes to this point in the season.
Jimmie Walker may not be one of the bigger names on the PGA Tour, but he is a consistent performer who is always around the leaders. He has a pair of wins on tour this season, and has 6 top 10 finishes in the 17 tournaments that he has taken part in.
If you are looking for a dark horse to put your money on this weekend, look no further than Jason Bohn. He has managed 4 top 10 finishes this season, and is a guy who always seems to be up among the leaders at some point during the course of the weekend. Tiger might also be worth a gamble at a good price. Players tend to do well at their own tournaments, and with the pressure off, Tiger might just be able to find some form.
Justin Rose is the man to beat here, as he is in form and has proven that this is a tournament he enjoys playing in. I think it will be he whose name is on the trophy on Sunday afternoon.
