• Champions Tour players made the cut at last week's PGA TOUR stop in Mexico. Nick Price finished in a tie for 42nd while defending champ Fred Funk finished tied for 63rd. Two players who will join the Champions Tour later this year also played well. Joey Sindelar (50 on March 30) finished tied for 28th while Larry Mize (50 on Sept. 23) finished tied for 22nd.

• The Champions Tour is off this week but will return next week in Newport Beach, Calif., at the Toshiba Classic. Sandy Lyle, a two-time major championship winner, is expected to make his Champions Tour debut at that event.

• Sandy Lyle is one of five former major championship winners who will be joining the Champions Tour this year. In addition to Lyle, the Champions Tour will also welcome Ian Woosnam (March 2), Hal Sutton (April 28), Larry Mize (Sept. 23) and Steve Jones (Dec. 28).

• Allen Doyle might be a man to watch next week at the Toshiba Classic. In nine career starts at the event, he's been in the Top-10 seven times including a win, two seconds and a third.
