text size

Back in the Florida Swing. As always, all times are eastern.

Sergio Garcia, Ernie Els, Jeff Maggert
Tee time: 7:26 a.m.
Tee: No. 10
Total TOUR wins: 24
Why you should watch: Els will try to rebound from his early exit at the hands of Jonathan Byrd in last week's World Golf Championships- Accenture Match-Play Championship. Garcia is looking for more of the same after Boo Weekley showed him the door in the second round.

Maggert is also looking for a bit of redemption after missing his first cut of the year a couple of weeks ago at the Northern Trust Open.

Woody Austin, Davis Love III, David Duval
Tee time: 7:44 a.m.
Tee: No. 10
Total TOUR wins: 35
Why you should watch: Austin said earlier this year that he wants to be known more for his player and less for his diving exhibition at last year's Presidents Cup. His tie for fifth last week at the World Golf Championships- Accenture Match-Play Championship was a good way to get people's attention. Love, as most know, is making his third appearance since surgery last October to repair torn ligaments in his left ankle. He tied for 24th at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and missed the cut last week at the Northern Trust Open.

Duval is just looking for anything good to happen. He missed the cut in each of his first three starts and withdrew at the Northern Trust Open.

Angel Cabrera, Boo Weekley, Bart Bryant
Tee time: 11:57 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 5
Why you should watch: Cabrera, the defending U.S. Open champion, made the quarterfinals last week at the World Golf Championships- Accenture Match-Play Championship before losing to eventual runner-up Stewart Cink. Weekley made quite a splash as well -- and learned some match-play rules, before losing to Woody Austin in the third round.

Bryant is off to a decent start, having made cuts in three of his past four starts. His most recent effort was a tie for 36th at the Northern Trust Open.
