Three Ryder Cup enemies are paired together in this grouping.

Sergio Garcia was runner-up at last year’s event, losing to defending champion Adam Scott. Garcia captured a victory at theEuropean Tour’s  Dubai Desert Classic early this year. Before coming to this event, the Spaniard finished 49th last week at the Genesis Open. Sergio ranks 4th in strokes gained tee to green as well as around the green.

Zach Johnson’s name hasn’t been tossed around of late, but this could be the week the 12-time winner on Tour makes a comeback. Zach has played in 4 events this season and has only one top-10 to show for it. He ranks 86th in the standings and would love to get back on track for the upcoming haul of events.

Paul Casey, who finished 5th in the FedEx Cup race last season, placed 3rd on this event in 2015. Casey has made his mark on Tour by branding his short game and scrambling.
