Kyle Thompson

Kyle Thompson will play the Rex Hospital Open this week, which happens to be the site of two of his three Web.com Tour victories.

Thompson's 2013 campaign has been a poor one to say the least, missing each of his six cuts and falling far down the reshuffle list. TPC Wakefield Plantation could be exactly what he needs to get back on track. His wins were in 2007 and 2011, and the '11 win vaulted him onto the PGA TOUR in 2012.

Keegan Bradley

Keegan Bradley makes his third trip to TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship.

Bradley has steadily improved in this event, following up a T63 in 2011 with a T29 last year. His current form is pause for both confusion and concern. In his last five starts he's gone MC-MC-2-T50-MC. Chances are good that a weak field and a familiar course will yield solid returns, but he still has to go out and perform.

Ryan Moore

Ryan Moore returns to the friendly confines of TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship.

Moore has enjoyed himself in Connecticut, twice tying for second and sharing fourth in 2009. His form headed into this week would look bleak were it not for a T13 at the Memorial a few weeks ago. His stats aren't all that enticing either, so rolling the dice with him is a complete reliance on course history.

Derek Ernst

Derek Ernst came out of nowhere to win the Wells Fargo Championship earlier this year and now heads to TPC River Highlands for his first crack at the Travelers Championship.

Since his win, Ernst has two of four cuts, but nothing has amounted to anything more than a T46 at Colonial. His spike is reminiscent of what Ted Potter Jr. did in his rookie season of 2012, winning The Greenbrier without warning. There's still time for him to differentiate himself, but it's likely his week at Quail Hollow will be the only reason he has a 2013-14 TOUR card a year's end.

Vijay Singh

Vijay Singh heads to the Travelers Championship in the midst of a huge slump.

The Fijian looked in good form when he shared 38th at the Masters, but since then things have not gone well. Since then, he's missed four of five cuts with a T80 at the Byron Nelson thrown in for good measure. Given the timing of his slump, one can't help but wonder if the deer antler spray controversy and ensuing legal angels he's chosen to explore are taking their toll on his game.

Bryce Molder

Bryce Molder is struggling to secure weekend tee times of late, and heads to the Travelers Championship to try and remedy that.

After a T22 at the Valero Texas Open, Molder has missed five of his last six cuts. The only break from the cycle was a T65 at Colonial. He's cashed a check in each of his last four trips to TPC River Highlands, including a T6 in 2011, so this could be the week he snaps out of his funk.

Scott Langley

Scott Langley has experienced his share of success on the PGA TOUR's shorter courses, so the Travelers Championship could prove a profitable stop.

The rookie opened his year with a T3 at the par-70 Sony Open, and his only other top 25 was a T24 at the par-71 RBC Heritage. Given he's 158th in driving distance, that makes perfect sense. With pressure mounting to perform on the shorter tracks, expect a decent week out of him.

Andres Romero

Andres Romero has only played in the Travelers Championship one time, but it went for a share of sixth in 2011.

With rounds of 64-67-67-67 that week, he must be considered as a potential sleeper pick. It's been a rough year for Romero, securing just four of 13 cuts, but if there's any place for him to get well this could be it.

Y.E. Yang

Y.E. Yang will tee it up in the Travelers Championship for the fourth time later this week.

TPC River Highlands hasn't exactly been Yang's most profitable stop on the PGA TOUR, missing two of his cuts and sharing 51st in 2009. Considering 2009 was the year he won the PGA Championship, consider his form in that event to be at its best. Since he ranks 122nd in FedExCup points at the moment, he's nowhere near his top form. Gamers should sit this one out.

George McNeill

George McNeill will play his 15th PGA TOUR event of 2013 at this weeks Travelers Championship.

McNeill has only scratched out one top-25 finish this year, sharing 16th at the Wells Fargo. Fortunately for him, he's made 10 cuts and currently resides safely inside the top 125 in the FedExCup Standings at 103rd. History at TPC River Highlands has been unkind to him, missing three of his four cuts and tying for 71st last season.

Russell Knox

Russell Knox has been added to the published field of this week's Travelers Championship.

Knox started the week as the third alternate. He gained entry today when Neal Lancaster withdrew. The Scot tied for 45th at the U.S. Open for his fifth payday in seven starts this season, but he's yet to log a top 25. He's currently 181st in FedExCup points and missed the cut in his debut at TPC River Highlands last year.

Neal Lancaster

Neal Lancaster has been removed from the published field of this week's Travelers Championship.

He's currently an alternate at the Encompass Championship on the Champions Tour, but wouldn't garner any attention in formats that included that circuit. He'll stick with 11 starts remaining on his medical extension in the graduate reshuffle to earn $739,784 and a promotion to the Major Medical category.

Jarrod Lyle

In a long-read update at PGATOUR.com, Jarrod Lyle has circled the middle of next year to return to competition.

While the Aussie has beaten acute myeloid leukemia a second time, life as a touring professional just doesn't pick up where it left off. "It’d be different if I was just coming back from a torn hamstring or something like that," he said. "But it’s not, and there is still a lot of unknown about things like how much flying I’ll be able to do and until all the questions like that are crossed off I don’t know when exactly I’ll be back. It’s a matter of getting all the way healthy and staying healthy and making sure that this horrible disease doesn’t come back again." Whenever he returns, he'll be equipped with 20 starts on a medical extension in the reshuffle category to earn $285,825 and a promotion to the Major Medical category.

Marc Leishman

Marc Leishman captured his first PGA TOUR win at last year's Travelers Championship and is back to defend this week.

Leishman stole the show with a final-round 62 at TPC River Highlands last season, rapidly improving from his T70 in his only other appearance in 2009. He had a great run from the Masters to the HP Byron Nelson Championship earlier this year, but has seen his form cool off the last few weeks. His missed cut at Merion last week was his first since the Shell Houston Open. Given he followed that up with a T4 at the Masters, maybe that's just what the doctor ordered.

Bo Van Pelt

Bo Van Pelt hasn't had the 2013 season he drew up, but things are beginning to improve ahead of the Travelers Championship.

BVP has made his last seven cuts, including a T21 at the U.S. Open last week. Four of his last seven starts have gone for top 25s, so he's close to morphing into that T8 machine gamers came to love a year ago. He's made seven (of nine) cuts at TPC River Highlands including a pair of top 10s.
