Transitions Championship, Innisbrook Resort - Copperhead, Palm Harbor, Florida. Defending: Gary Woodland
Winner alright: Last week we previewed Charl Schwartzel who tied fourth from 34/1

Arguably one of the the players of the tournament at last weeks WGC Cadillac. Followed a first round 76 with 67, 68 and a final round 65 to tie for sixth. That’s the second top 10 of the season for the big Aussie, third if you count the matchplay. Tied for second here twice in 2007 and 2008 and tied 15th last season. Real chances of a top five.
Starts his 100th Tour event this week and will be looking to add to his two wins last year at The Wyndham and Deutsche Bank. Third in Hawaii back in January and a top 10 in Phoenix, Simpson has yet to fire for all four days at a tournament. Mixed the sublime with the ridiculous last week at Doral where a pair of 66’s were sandwiched in between a 75 and 77. Did enough though to impress me though, even if paired with sideshow Woods in the final round.
May have been weighed down with expectation last week at the WGC as defending champion and can approach this one a bit looser and more gung ho for the challenge. This will be Nick’s seventh event at Innisbrook and he’s been in top 15 in the last three. A best finish of fourth in 2010 when Jim Furyk won.
This will be Byrd’s tenth start at Palm Harbour and he’s never missed a cut. His best finish here is fourth in 2006 when the then Chrysler Championship used be staged in late October. A good solid campaigner with top 10’s this season at the Tournament of Champions and at the Northern Trust Open. Should be available at around 6/1 “to finish in the top 10”.
If short odds dont put you off there were signs that Luke Donald 12.5/1 was returning to his old self last week at Doral where he tied for sixth. Donald didn’t play here last year and indeed has only played twice at Innisbrook in 2010 and 2003. His last visit saw him tie for sixth. Those looking to take a punt on a form horse should look at Charl Schwartzel 17/1. Two top fives in his last two events and yet couldn’t buy a put last weekend at Doral. A word of warning though on Sxhwartzel, he may the form horse but he’s never even been to the track before!
