Here are some names to watch on the PGA tour in 2007:
1. Henrik Stenson- The tall Swede performed magificently in the '06 Ryder Cup and has been a standout on the European Tour. Great mid-game and putter. Expect him to play some more PGA events in '07.
2. Adam Scott- Won the tour ending Players Championship (a field that did not include Tiger, Phil and a few others) and had fairly strong showings in the majors in '06. He needs to win a major this year to fulfill great promise. Was eclipsed by fellow Aussie Ogilvy who won the U.S. Open after the famous Phil meltdown.
3. Greg Ogilvy- Now that he's won a major out of the blue, he's been staying in contention in other tournaments. Had other wins last year on the tour and with that smooth swing, should be a player again in '07.
4. Arjun Atwal- The Indian star has successfully come off of the Asian Tour and has been making steady headway on the PGA tour. Should be able to get a couple of top tens at least this year.
5. Camilo Villegas- "The Spider" has come out of Columbia and onto the tour with a huge splash. His game seems to be improving consistently as well. This might be a breakthrough year for him.
The new FedEx points system and a preview of the season opener Mercedes Championship are coming soon.
