As with last week, I am going to stick with the CLi rankings this week and pick according to the CLi rankings.  Thus, my picks are Watson - last week's winner in New Orleans (analysis), McIlroy - who has continued to play well after his let down at The Masters (analysis), Furyk - who played well two weeks ago at Hilton Head and has won here in the past (analysis), Mickelson (analysis), and Toms - who has won here in the past (analysis).

Below are my 5 picks for the Wells Fargo Championship :
