The field
The group this week isn't lined with the top-tier talent the previous two events featured. Defending champion Brendon Todd is the only player in the field who's ranked inside the top 50 in the world.
Korn Ferry Tour standout Will Zalatoris can secure his special temporary membership on the main circuit with anything better than a tie for 70th this week. Doc Redman, Harold Varner III, Henrik Stenson, Aaron Wise, and Charley Hoffman are among other notables in action.
Rasmus Hojgaard, the 19-year-old Danish star who's won twice on the European Tour, will also make his non-major debut on the PGA Tour.

The course
Port Royal is a 6,828-yard, par-71 course built on the coastline of Bermuda. It yielded very low scores last year due to a number of short par 4s and a set of reachable par 5s, with Todd winning by four at 24-under. However, if the winds pick up, chaos could be in the cards.
