In a competition, there is what we call as big names. They are athletes who are predicted to win a certain tournament because they used to winning games. Simply, these big names are
the best players in that sports. But what if these big names opted not to join? I guess that's the time that some low-ranked players are waiting for. Just like what's happening at the Booz Allen Classic. Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson or Ernie Els are not joining this tournament. This is the chance that most struggling players want to take advantage with, that is to win a PGA Tour without the above names. According to Ben Curtis, who is at the top of the leaderboard, the lack of big names in the competition is helped them obviously. According to him, if Tiger, Phil or Ernie join the tournament, then most probably one of them will lead by the end of the week.
Sergio Garcia, the defending champion of the tournament is not also joining due to a back injury. Hence, there is a big possibility for everyone to capture the trophy. As what Curtis said, they should take advantage of the situation because this opportunity comes only once. Curtis is definitely correct, they need to take advantage of it because when the big names come back, then they're in for a big trouble again.
