The US PGA Tour is in Arizona desert this week to play the FBR Open. Another big event is taking place along side the US PGA Tour event, and that is the NFL's Super Bowl. On a side note, it will be interesting to see if this enhances the spectator turn out for the FBR Open or if it will decrease the normally high spectator turn out for the tournament.
Let's look at the Golf CLi and see who the top 15 players are for the tournament ranked by the CLi figure.

This week I am going to go with the top 2 players in the CLi list, skipping over Villegas, and am then picking the next three players.
I needed to skip a player in the top 5 as I wanted to pick Cink. I think Cink will carry is good form over from the Buick Invitational to this week's tournament in the desert.
The reason for skipping over Villegas is because I think Villegas could easily get caught up in the Super Bowl activities. Even though he is not an American, he still loves big parties and the Super Bowl has just those types of activities. However, not picking him could backfire as he could also draw energy off the crowds from the tournament which would make him play even better. We will have to see after the week is all said and done if it was a wise choice to not pick Villegas.
As for Weir, he did pull out of last week's Buick Invitational because of illness. However, I think he is over the illness and will play well this week in the Arizona desert.
So the Tour Outsider picks for the FBR Open:
