Half Awake

Half of the top 16 golfers are playing at the Nissan Open this week while the other half take the week off. Hopefully the skies will allow for more than half a tournament this year. Tiger Woods looks for a third straight win in 2006 but Ernie Els makes his 2006 debut on the PGA Tour this week and should provide for some good competition this week. Adam Scott defends his title this week and undoubtedly would like nothing better than to win the event as a 72-hole tournament this time around. Luke Donald looks to play more like he did last Thursday than he did the rest of the week. Jim Furyk, Chris DiMarco, Kenny Perry, and Angel Cabrera add to the names topping this weeks field at Riviera.

Golfer to watch this week: Angel Cabrera who makes his 2006 PGA Tour debut along with Els.
