ORLANDO, Fla. -- There are a few big names to keep an eye on in the afternoon wave here at Bay Hill, most notably Phil Mickelson and Brandt Snedeker.

Snedeker, who sat atop the FedExCup standings entering the week, is playing for the first time in five weeks after injuring his ribs during his victory at Pebble Beach last month.

The 32-year-old said he could have played last week in Tampa but didn't want to push it with the Masters looming a few weeks away.

As for Bay Hill, he likes his chances.

"You drive the ball really well here and you can definitely have a great week," said Snedeker, who has a win, two runner-up finishes and a third-place this season. "That's one of the strengths of my game."

Mickelson, meanwhile, has won here before, but he's at best had a mixed record with zero top 10s in the event since 2003.

Here's a closer look at their group and who else to watch for:
