This year's field at the Mercedes-Benz Championship has changed significantly. Only five player's from last year's field have returned to Kapalua (Vijay Singh, K.J. Choi, Rory Sabbatini, Jim Furyk, and Stephen Ames). This shows how difficult it is to get back to Hawaii year in and year out. 31 players will be teeing it up this week, however, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington, and Adam Scott, have decided to skip the event.
