THIS WEEK'S PICKS: Emiliano Grillo, Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Rose
PROJECTED CHAMPION: Justin Rose
Solid from tee-to-green, Rose is a great choice to win the season opener. He finished last season ninth in greens hit, which helped him post the sixth-best scoring average (69.744). Also was around average on the greens (SGP: 0.018).
