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. Jan 20 - 8:12 PM

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.

Mark Brooks settled for a 3-over-par 36-39=75 at Pebble Beach in his opening round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

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.

Mark Brooks is listed in the published field of next week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

We last saw the major champion at the Bob Hope Classic, where he withdrew before his fourth round for an unspecified reason. He's on Past Champion status and not worth your fantasy investment, although his last top-35 payday was at Pebble Beach in 2009 (T10). He'll turn 50 years of age on March 25.

Mark Brooks withdrew prior to his fourth round of the Bob Hope Classic.

He was scheduled to go off the first hole at SilverRock's Palmer Course at 10:27 a.m. PT. Brooks was 4-over through 54 holes, and would have probably needed to break 60 today to make the cut. He's on Past Champion status, so we'll add him to our injury report. The seven-time PGA TOUR winner will turn 50 years of age on March 25, thus becoming eligible for the Champions Tour. If an explanation is provided for today's WD, we will update you.
