Last years defending champion Rickie Fowler will be on hand hoping to double up and grab the 500 500 FedEx-Cup points along with the lions share of the purse.
This years field will see 5 of the top 10 players take to the course, now speaking of the course. You can of course wager on the tournament itself or take a few side wagers on player match-ups where you can find the best value for your dollar.
