Tour Outsider: Bridgestone Invitational

The US PGA Tour is in Akron, Ohio this week to play the Bridgestone Invitational.

Let's look at the Golf CLi and see who the top 15 players are for the tournament ranked by the CLi figure.

Rank Player CLi 1 Jim Furyk 4.85 2 Tiger Woods 5.25 3 Vijay Singh 8.50 4 Angel Cabrera 14.25 5 Stewart Cink 17.65 6 David Toms 18.10 7 Rory Sabbatini 18.75 8 Colin Montgomerie 18.85 9 Justin Rose 19.25 10 Kenny Perry 20.30 11 Sergio Garcia 21.80 12 J.J. Henry 24.70 13 Luke Donald 24.75 14 Ian Poulter 24.80 15 K.J. Choi 24.90

Furyk, Woods, and Singh all look like good picks for the tournament as they play well on the Firestone course. Not sure about Cabrera on this course, so will pass on him. Then will pick Cink and Toms to round my five picks.

So the Tour Outsider picks for the Bridgestone Invitational are:

Rank Player CLi 1 Jim Furyk 4.85 2 Tiger Woods 5.25 3 Vijay Singh 8.50 4 Stewart Cink 17.65 5 David Toms 18.10

The Tour Insider's (Dave Shedloski) picks are:

• 1 Tiger Woods
• 2 Jim Furyk
• 3 Hunter Mahan
• 4 Phil Mickelson
• 5 Paul Casey

This week we have 2 players in common: Woods and Furyk.
