Keegan Bradley, Freddie Jacobson
Louis Oosthuizen, Lee Westwood
Keegan
Bradley
Like a lot of players, this is a home game for Keegan. Had a shot to win The Honda Classic last year but faded with a final-round 73. He's played really well in spurts this year, and PGA National sets up well for him -- he loves par 70 courses.
A venue that's major-championship tough is exactly the type of test the U.S Open champion relishes. A quarterfinal run at the Match Play sharpened his edge.
Amanda
Balionis
Russell Henley, Freddie Jacobson
Graeme McDowell, Charl Schwartzel
Graeme
McDowell
G-Mac is coming off a strong showing at Match Play, advancing to the quarterfinals before falling to third-place finisher Jason Day. The Northern Irishman also has a steady track record at PGA National, boasting two consecutive top 10s in his last two starts here.
Bill
Cooney
Freddie Jacobson, Graeme McDowell
Charl Schwartzel, Lee Westwood
Charl
Schwartzel
The hope is Schwartzel is fired up after losing to Russell Henley in Round 1 at Accenture, not to mention he's rested after his early exit. Prior to match play, he finished in the top 5 in his previous seven events worldwide. Westwood and McDowell played well at PGA National last season and Jacobson is on a roll -- three top 10s in 2013 and fourth in strokes gained-putting.
Mike
McAllister
Freddie Jacobson, Graeme McDowell
Justin Rose, Lee Westwood
Graeme
McDowell
Each of my four picks has at least two top-10 finishes at The Honda Classic. Going with G-Mac as the pick to win. He's finished top-10 in his last two starts at PGA National and comes off a strong showing at the Accenture Match Play Championship.
Schwartzel was a very trendy pick at Accenture, so naturally he was upset in the first round. But with a return to the stroke-play world, expect him to pick up where he's been the last couple months worldwide -- on a big-time hot streak.

Ross
Rickie Fowler, Charles Howell III
Freddie Jacobson, Charl Schwartzel
Charl
Schwartzel
That first-round loss last week was an anomoly. Schwartzel had finished third of better in his last four starts prior to hitting the "slopes" at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. He'll get back on track at PGA National.
Anne
Detlefsen
Graeme McDowell, Justin Rose
Lee Westwood, Tiger Woods
Tiger
Woods
He nearly won in his PGA National debut here last year, closing with an impressive 62 to come up short to Rory McIlroy. Going to let the disappointing performance at Accenture Match Play slide, he'll be ready to go this week.
Brian
Wacker
Keegan Bradley, Justin Rose
Lee Westwood, Tiger Woods
Lee
Westwood
With the start of the Florida Swing, I'm sticking with four guys who all live in the Sunshine State. Most of them have good records here, too, including Westwood, who has finished in the top 10 in two of the last three years. And remember, Tiger shot a final-round 62 last year to nearly catch Rory McIlroy.
I like McDowell on tough courses ... and on Florida courses. PGA National is both. I look for a strong showing from the 2010 U.S. Open champ. Rose and Schwartzel are obvious picks while McIlroy, he's not been strong early but I don't want to regret leaving him on the bench if he goes off this week.
Doubtful that his one-and-out at Dove Mountain will deter gamers – and it shouldn’t. Solid record at PGA National converges with a red-hot slate in stroke-play competition over the last few months.
