• Davis Love III will be looking for his sixth Verizon Heritage title this week at Harbour Town. If he's successful, he'll join a short list of players who have won the same event six times or more in TOUR history. Sam Snead is on the list twice (Greater Greensboro Open eight times, Miami Open six times), while Jack Nicklaus (six Masters), Tiger Woods (six World Golf Championships-CA Championship), Harry Vardon (six British Opens) and Alex Ross (six North & South Opens) each performed the feat once.

• More on Love: He has 11 Top-10 finishes at Hilton Head in 21 career starts, including seven top-3 efforts. He's had 49 sub-par and 38 rounds in the 60s in his 75 career rounds at Harbour Town.

• Eight players have won more than half the 38 Verizon Heritage tournaments to date. The eight -- Davis Love III (5 wins), Hale Irwin (3), Stewart Cink (2), Hubert Green (2), Johnny Miller (2), Payne Stewart (2), Tom Watson (2) and Fuzzy Zoeller (2) -- have won 20 of the first 38 tournaments on Hilton Head.

• Jim Furyk has been the runner-up in each of the past two years at the Verizon Heritage and has been T15 or better in his last four starts at the event. He's 36-under par during that stretch.

• Zach Johnson will look to become only the fourth player in history to win the Masters and then win the next tournament on the TOUR schedule. The last to do so was Bernhard Langer in 1985 (at the Verizon Heritage) and the others are Gary Player (1978 Tournament of Champions) and Jimmy Demaret (1950 North Fulton Open).

• With his T2 last week at the Masters, Tiger Woods moves into second place on the FedExCup points list. That's his highest ranking to date and he's only 263 points behind leader Vijay Singh.

• With the smallest greens on TOUR, Harbour Town has been the site of a number of TOUR putting records. Kenny Knox tied the 18-hole mark with 18 putts in 1989 while David Frost set the 72-hole record of 92 putts at this course in 2005. When Frost broke the record, he eclipsed the 93 putts needed by Knox at the 1989 Verizon Heritage.
