Collin Morikawa comes into the tournament with one of the best records. He won his first major at the PGA Championship, and he already has three Tour wins in his young career, including two this season, according to Golf.com. With those accolades under his belt, Morikawa has snagged the No. 2 spot in the FedEx Cup standings to start the playoffs. He will play the first two rounds with the number one seed Justin Thomas and number three seed Webb Simpson.

Tiger Woods will also be on the course for his third start since the PGA Tour came back after the COVID-19 shutdowns. The stakes are high for Woods, who is currently ranked 49th in the FedEx standings, but with experience and fan fare on his side, he is not to be entirely counted out.
