Just got an email from the Fore!Kids Foundation, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, and Justin Rose have committed to play. Hopefully this will lure some more of the big names to come this year.

Figured Rose would be in to defend his title. Great to see Rickie and Day as well, should be a great event, looking forward to it!

Rickie usually in every year and Day was here last year along with Dustin Johnson (guess he's not coming this year?)

Hoping for a lot of big time guys but TPC Louisiana is probably one of the worst courses on the PGA tour to play I'm sure.

Why? Tpc Louisiana is regarded on tour as one of the players least favorite courses and the tournament always falls during a shitty time in the tour schedule.

while the tourney gave him an exemption once, from what I understand it is really just a matter of where the tourney sits on the schedule

Awesome. Wish Spieth would show up. Not far from home for him.

Has anyone heard any scuttlebutt re: the new City Park course? It makes so much sense to have the tour stop there instead of friggin Avondale. Any chance of that happening?

Would be awesome to have it in the actual city, it's a pain in the arse to take it out to Avondale.

City Park will be a pain in the arse for most people to get to, especially if it still is at the same time as Jazz Fest. The course work over there has started but not sure of what the actual time schedule is to be complete it.

Alario wants to keep it on the westbank but I've heard Zurich doesn't like TPC so ya never know.

It's great those players are coming and all, but the lineup ain't complete unless Phil Mickelson and his big titties show up.

Zurich wants to move the tourney into the city. Alario is fighting it because TPC would sell the course if the move happened.

Bigger names will commit after The Masters. It is helpful that Match Play isn't the following week like last year, but still in a bad spot stuck between The Masters and Players.
