As one of the PGA Tour’s "Signature Events," the tournament features a $20 million purse and a limited 72-man field. Much of the pre-tournament talk centered on World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who entered as the betting favorite despite recent sluggish starts, and Rory McIlroy, who has often spoken of his desire to finally conquer the "Hogan's Alley" layout. Heavy rains earlier in the week left the course soft, but the introduction of cold, swirling winds on Thursday afternoon transformed the greens into a difficult test for the late starters. 2328867
