Mark Brooks makes his way to Whistling Straits for his 27th appearance at the PGA Championship.

The 1996 PGA winner makes his annual pilgrimage, despite 14 straights missed cuts. He is 0-for-2 on the PGA TOUR this season. Spending most of his time on the Champions Tour now, he's collected four top 25s in 15 starts on that tour. Gamers can safely ignore Brooks unless they play in a over-50-only league.

Mark Brooks won the 1996 Humana Challenge and has played in every edition since.

Brooks is a member of the Champions Tour, and limits his starts on the PGA TOUR to this one and one or two others per year. The he continues to keep this on his schedule is a bit of a mystery. He's made the cut just once since 2001 and hasn't cracked the top 30 since his win. Needless to say, there is zero reason to invest any fantasy currency in his direction.

Mark Brooks makes his annual pilgrimage to the Humana Challenge thanks to his victory in the 1996 edition.

There is a special exemption granted to all past champions who won the event prior to 1999. Brooks always shows up to the three-course rotation with a smile on his face, despite not having finished inside the top 30 in this event since the win in '96. He offers gamers nothing in terms of fantasy value.

Brooks is back in action after mysteriously withdrawing froim the Bob Hope Classic after three rounds. He has zero fantasy value. What's most important to him lately is that he's just 43 days (March 25) from turning 50 years of age and becoming eligible for the Champions Tour.
