For the second straight week the PGA Tour?s biggest names will tee it up in the same event. And this week, Ernie Els will join the action as well.
The Byron Nelson Championship marks just the fourth time this year that Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Els and Phil Mickelson will play in the same field.
They will be joined by three other players in the top 10 in Retief Goosen, Chris DiMarco and the defending champion Sergio Garcia.
The star power in this field may help extend two current trends on the 2005 PGA Tour schedule: Big names cashing a winner?s check and events decided in a playoff.
So far in ?05, seven of the 19 events have gone to extra holes, with all seven coming in the last 13 weeks. The record for most playoffs in a season is 16, which happened twice, back in 1988 and ?91. Last year, 14 events came down to a playoff.
Which leads us back to the Byron Nelson Championship where last year was - you guessed it - decided in a playoff.
The Big Four
Vijay Singh: +500*
His stats are almost as staggering as his determination to win ? he came from six back in the final round to claim his third title of the season in Charlotte. In addition to his three wins, the big Fijian also has racked up a pair of runner-up finishes, a third and two more top-5s. He?s first on the money list, first in the all around ranking, first in total birdies and eagles, and second in scoring average for the year. And when it comes to playoffs, Singh can boast of a very impressive 7-2 mark all-time. Oh, and don?t forget he won this very tournament two years ago. BET HERE www.betonline.com
Tiger Woods: +350*
Ranked No. 1 in the world. Three PGA Tour wins in '05. Masters champion. A mind-boggling 142 straight cuts made. All without being able to find a fairway on a consistent basis. Throw in the fact that he now has a chip on his shoulder after being assessed a two-stroke penalty in Sunday's final round in Charlotte, and Tiger will be ready coming into Big D. Woods finished a shot out of the playoff last year and visited the winner's circle here back in 1997.
Ernie Els: +700*
New label is starting to become 'Best player to seemingly never to play in America.' But the fact is the Big Easy has played in six events on the PGA Tour this season. Started the season strong with a third, a second and a sixth in the Mercedes, Sony and Buick Invitational, respectively. A disappointing 47th place finish at the Masters has the critics wondering, but he too has three wins on the year just as Vijay, Tiger and Phil do - albeit they're European Tour wins. Els has played well here in the past with a victory back in 1995 and a tie for seventh last year.
Phil Mickelson: +700*
Completes the cycle of the Big Four that have won the Nelson with his win sandwiched between Ernie's and Tiger's back in1996. Also had a chance in 2000 but lost to eventual champion Jesper Parnevik in a playoff (there's that word again). Has had mixed results though in his past several appearances with a missed cut last year and a 44th place finish in '03.
