Not exactly a star-studded Bob Hope field
Just three of the world's top-25 ranked players are here at the 50th Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Anthony Kim is ranked eighth and would've been the top player in the field, but he withdrew today because of a shoulder injury. Steve Stricker, ranked 16th, is the top player in the field, along with Justin Leonard (23rd) and Mike Weir (24th).
