Tiger Woods wins the event for the first time since 2001. It is his 78th career PGA Tour win in his 300th start.
2014: Ongoing injuries prevent Tiger Woods from defending his title. In the first round, Martin Kaymer ties the course record with a 63 matching Fred Couples (1992), Greg Norman (1994) and Roberto Castro (2013).[54] Kaymer goes on to win wire-to-wire.
2015: Following a three-way tie at 12-under par in regulation play, the tournament's first aggregate three-hole playoff over holes 16–18 is conducted between Rickie Fowler, Kevin Kisner and Sergio García. Kisner and Fowler both go par-birdie-par to end the playoff at 1-under par, while García can only muster three pars to finish at even par and is eliminated. The playoff continues into sudden death, starting at the 17th, where both Kisner and Fowler have birdie opportunities.

Valspar opens Segment 3, so all hands are back on deck. The first three weeks will allow for some flexibility, so it’s smart to rely on guys playing well on arrival … and two-time defending champion Sam Burns (for defensive purposes).

With rough approaching FOUR inches I'm leaning veteran ball-striker. Bradley went close here two years ago and handles big ball parks well.

Tommy Fleetwood will put a disappointing PLAYERS Sunday behind him to break through in Florida after all.

Griffin has quietly been having a solid start to the 2023 calendar year as a rookie. Only one missed cut and hasn’t finished lower than T35. I’m going outside the big names with this prediction, but he’s going to be a star.

I picked Rose last week and I’ll assume I was just off by seven days.
