Some of the favorites have had up and down tournaments lately like Rory, Rickie, etc. Could we see a newcomer win this year at TPC Sawgrass?

Here's the field.

I disagree. You get birdie fests every week on Tour in the John Deere Classics and Humana Challenge's. The big tournaments should test the best players to the max. Seeing guys shooting 63 and 64 every

I don't like birdie fests, I much prefer to watch them be challenged and struggle to be -2 or - 3 for a round versus -9.

Conditions change from day to day. How is that unfair? Everyone plays the same course. You say it's unfair and then immediately after say that they didn't adjust - which is it?

Never been a fan of Sawgrass but the strength of the field usually gets me to tune in for some of it at least.

It's a quirky (and IMO gimmicky) course that doesn't suit that many players well so it's usually a pretty wide open field. Wouldn't be surprised to see a relative no-namer win this week.

My magic Yoda 8-ball says Dufner is going to win it all.

I too think it's a gimmicky at least some of the holes. But it is very entertaining to say the least. 

I enjoy watching the Players and will be watching this weekend. 

This tournament can produce an unlikely winner.

It's a good tournament but it registers with me similar to a WGC event because the best players are there, not lIke a major.  In fact, I like the WGCs better because there is no cut so you get to see a bit more of the top players.

Last year's was awesome, Rickie was motivated by that anonymous survey which labeled him overrated and he proved himself in a big way on Sun.  Hope for that kind of drama from our current big 4 this week.  (I don't include Bubba in that list even tho he's ranked higher than Rickie).

Any idea why they leave Day out of the top 5 in the power rankings?  He's #1 in the world and arguably the best short game player right now.  I do remember reading that some were concerned about his driving accuracy.  Is Sawgrass a particularly narrow course?

The fairways at Sawgrass aren't particularly narrow, but any drive that misses is going to find sand, water, or a very uneven lie. Hard to make birdies that way.

I think it's about time for Rory to put 4 rounds together. He's been in the hunt a lot lately.

#6 was awesome.  I knew he had made a "hole-in-three" there, but I didn't realize it was a swish.  That has to be my favorite shot in golf...there's no suspense, no drama, no anticipation...just...CLUNK.

I don't know how to find all-time statistics for the 17th hole, but Fred Couples has to be near the top of the list of scoring leaders.

I don't get why putts are rated higher than holes-in-one? I could make those putts.
