David Howell is listed in the published field at this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Howell was a PGA Tour member in 2006 and finished 96th on the money list. It figured to be a good start for the Brit but a bad back affected his health throughout 2007. As a result, he plummeted down the World Rankings, where he's currently 218th. He gained entry into this week's Palmer Invite when Brian Davis qualified on his own (after a pair of withdrawals on Monday), thus opening the sponsor's exemptions offered to Howell. He's played Bay Hill just once, finishing T-36 in 2005. Howell is still on his comeback so tread wisely if you're considering investing and be advised that he is no longer a PGA Tour member.

David Howell withdrew on Monday from the U.S. Open.

Howell injured a wrist eight days ago in England, while gettting ready for this week's U.S. Open. He tried to play nine holes on Sunday and stopped after the injury felt worse. Further tests today revealed more damage and he decided at that point to withdraw from the Open. Howell has been replaced in the field by Luke List, the second alternate.

David Howell fired a two-under-par 70 and is tied for second after the opening round of the Masters at Augusta National.

Howell offset a bogey and a double-bogey with three birdies and an eagle and is just one stroke back of co-leaders Justin Rose and Brett Wetterich. The strength of his game is putting, and if conditions remain hard and fast, Howell could be a factor come Sunday if his ball striking is as good as it was in round one.

Englishman David Howell is in the field for this week's Shell Houston Open on the Tournament course at Redstone Golf Club.

Howell has only played three events this year on the PGA Tour and his best finish is T-29 at the Nissan. Although he has never won on the PGA Tour, he does have five international victories, but should be considered a longer play here. He is over-priced in some fantasy games and under-priced in others. Take a look at your own game and see if he fits.

England's David Howell will be in the field for this week's World Golf Championships - CA Championship at Doral.

Howell has announced that he is fully recovered from back problems that plagued him last year, but also mentioned that his game is not in very good shape. Howell has played only two events on the PGA Tour in 2007, with a T-29 at the Nissan and a first-round loss in the WGC - Accenture Match Play Championship. Fantasy managers will have to decide whether this is typical downplay or if he is actually struggling with his form.

David Howell has announced that he will play more in the United States in 2007.

The world number 14 played 33 tournaments last year and felt he was saddled with injuries as a result. Next year, he will play fewer tournaments on the European Tour and enter 15 or 16 events on the PGA Tour, beginning with the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in early February. Seems the FedEx Cup is already attracting the best golfers in the world.....can't understand why these guys want to come to the U.S. just to chase a measely $10 million. As one of the world's top putters, Howell is sure to get heavy fantasy play, especially if his price remains relatively low as it did in 2006.....heck, even if his price isn't low!

David Howell defeated Brett Wetterich 5 and 4 to clinch the Ryder Cup for the European team on Sunday.

With two other matches dormie, the point Howell won put the Europeans at 14 points, which is what they needed to retain the cup. Darren Clarke was the sentimental favorite to hit the winning putt for Europe, but Howell beat him to it. The Europeans still lead nearly every remaining match, so the final score is likely to be a lopsided blowout.

Howell is best known for beating Tiger Woods at the HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai, China, last November. "This is a million times better than beating Tiger,'' he said. "This is the European Tour's flagship event and I'm honored, delighted and humbled to join the list of champions. I don't think I relaxed until I came off the 17th green.''
