After a brief break the PGA Tour begins its new season in picturesque Napa, California.
After a turbulent season the PGA Tour will try to turn the page and move after the defections to LIV Golf that took place during 2022.
Despite the defections, the Fortinet field will include some of the tops players still on the PGA Tour.
Hideki Matsuyama, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Max Homa, Gary Woodland, Matt Kuchar, Cam Champ, and Brandt Snedeker will headline the field this weekend.
Homa and Champ are previous winners in 2021, and 2019 respectively.
