THURSDAY

Hideki Matsuyama (2), Henrik Stenson (37), Justin Rose (15): Three international stars get us underway at Bay Hill with Matsuyama looking to wrestle top spot back from Justin Thomas in the FedExCup. He trails by just one point. Stenson is 50-under in his last 5 appearances at Bay Hill and Rose has three top-4 finishes already this season and now wants a trophy.

Tee times: 8:11 a.m. off No. 10 on Thursday; 12:56 p.m. off No. 1 Friday

Jason Day (98), Bubba Watson (155), Martin Kaymer (-): The defending champion Day has some ground to make up after being forced to miss his last start through illness. He won without his best stuff last year, this year he wants his ‘A’ game on show all week. Watson has had a slow start to the season but as the major season approaches Bubba is ready to go big. Kaymer returns to Florida after a T4 at The Honda Classic.

Tee times: 8:23 a.m. off No. 10 on Thursday; 1:08 p.m. off No. 1 Friday

FRIDAY

Adam Hadwin (4), Rickie Fowler (10), Graeme McDowell (108): Hadwin comes in on a serious high after his win at the Valspar Championship. The Canadian also has a 59 on his resume this season… what will we see next? Fowler is looking to keep the Florida mojo going after his win at The Honda Classic and local Floridian Graeme McDowell is hoping to go one better than his two runner-ups at Bay Hill.

Tee times: 12:56 p.m. off No. 1 Thursday; 8:11 a.m. off No. 10 on Friday

Rory McIlroy (79), Brandt Snedeker (35), Sam Saunders (200): McIlroy is back in action after blowing out the injury cobwebs in Mexico, looking to show he’s a serious contender for best player in the world. The emotion will sure be high for Saunders, with Arnold Palmer’s grandson trying to ride the wave to a big finish. A win here would be the feel-good story of the millennium. Snedeker is at Bay Hill for the 11th time, hoping to add to his lone top-10 from 2014.
