TOP PLAYERS ENTERED
-------------------

Vijay Singh
World ranking: 1
Earnings: $1,214,313

Has a surprisingly poor record in this event, never making it
past the second round in five attempts. ... Was beaten in second
round by Jerry Kelly last year. ... Faces Shingo Katayama in
first round. ... Won the Sony Open in January, but missed the
cut at Pebble Beach two weeks ago, the first time he bowed out
early in more than 12 months.

Tiger Woods
World ranking: 2
Earnings: $1,291,333

The two-time defending champion has won 12 matches in a row at
La Costa. His closest call last year came in the first round,
when he edged John Rollins 1 up. ... The last time he lost in
this event was in the first round in 2002, when he was upset by
Peter O'Malley. ... Has played only 10 competitive rounds this
year, but is a cumulative 40 under par.

Phil Mickelson
World ranking: 4
Earnings: $2,004,056

Has never advanced past the quarterfinals in five appearances in
this event, twice losing in the first round. ... Has never won
a World Golf Championships event, a second at the 1999 NEC
Invitational his best result. ... Has started 2005 on fire,
winning twice in four starts. ... Has a home game this week, as
he lives less than 20 miles from La Costa.

Adam Scott
World ranking: 7
Earnings: $1,123,753

Won the rain-shortened Nissan Open on Monday, beating Chad
Campbell in playoff in the 36-hole event. Though the victory was
not official, the world ranking points were, and they elevated
the 24-year-old Australian to a career-high seventh on the world
list. ... Finished third here two years ago, after taking Tiger
Woods to extra holes in the semifinals. ... Lost to Davis Love
III in third round last year.

Justin Leonard
World ranking: 20
Earnings: $865,200

Has a shabby record here, never advancing past the third round
in six attempts. ... Lost to Alex Cejka in first round last
year. ... Faces John Daly in Wednesday's first round. ... Has
started the season well, winning the Bob Hope Classic. ...
Almost won last year's PGA Championship, where he was part of a
three-way playoff.

Todd Hamilton
World ranking: 22
Earnings: $82,053

Last year's British Open champion has fallen on hard times,
failing to crack the top-20 in four starts this year. ... This
is his first start in this event, but has twice won the 32-man
Japan Match Play Championship, so he's obviously comfortable
with the format. ... Has potentially dangerous first round match
against much longer-hitting Robert Allenby.

Robert Allenby
World ranking: 43
Earnings: $150,452

Has not progressed past the third round in four tries in this
event. ... After a horrible start to the year, found some form
at last week's Nissan Open, finishing three shots off the pace.
... A reliable ball-striker who last year ranked eighth on tour
in greens in regulation, but putted dreadfully, by his own
admission. ... Has not won on tour since 2001, when he triumphed
twice. ... Last year finished outside the top 30 on the money
list for the first time in five years.

John Daly
World ranking: 51
Earnings: $117,943

Making only his second appearance in this event, after losing in
the first round three years ago. ... Won less than 30 miles
from here at last year's Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines. ...
Off to a slow start in 2005, after last year finishing 21st on
the money list, his best season since 1991. ... Averaged 306
yards off the tee last year, ranking third on tour, but was
192nd in driving accuracy, finding only 53 percent of fairways.

Trevor Immelman
World ranking: 63
Earnings: NA

The 25-year-old South African will be the old man in his first
round clash with Adam Scott. ... Has finished no worse than 16th
on the European Tour money list in the past three years. ... A
two-time South African Open winner. ... Lost to Tiger Woods in
the second round here last year. ... Among the many
international players with a home in Orlando, Florida.

Loren Roberts
World ranking: 65
Earnings: $265,156

Faces local hero Phil Mickelson in the first round, but his
short and steady game might be just the ticket to keep the
pressure on the Masters champion. ... Has not advanced past the
third round in four appearances here... Will be eligible for
Champions Tour when he turns 50 on June 24. ... Known as "Boss
of the Moss" because of his prowess on the greens, he ranked
seventh in putting on tour last year. ... Tied fourth at the Bob
Hope Classic less than a month ago.

Nick Price
World ranking: 71
Earnings: $11,843

The 48-year-old former world number one is a shadow of his old
self, and barely scraped into the field, earning a first round
encounter with Woods. ... Finished 103rd on last year's money
list, his worst showing since 1983, with a tie for sixth at the
Masters his best result. ... Topped the PGA Tour money list in
1993 and 1994, winning 10 times in the process.

Shingo Katayama
World ranking: 66
Earnings: NA

The last man to scrape into the field when Ernie Els declined to
play, but may be a little rusty for his first round clash
against Vijay Singh, because he hasn't played a competitive
round all year. ... Has a poor record in this event, losing in
the first round the past three years. ... Also played Singh in
the first round last year,losing 5 and 3... Familiar by his
cowboy hat, he rarely plays outside Japan, where he has won 16
times.
