Where did you get this list from? The only reason that I ask that is because they have not had the qualifiers here in Arizona yet. The pre-qualifiers are set for January 22nd and the qualifier is January 26th.

Azcentral.com, the field is still open for entries through the friday prior to the FBR, but most of the big players have thier schedules set pretty far in advance, I would assume if he was playing he would have committed by now.

Oh forgot to add that Zinger is in on a sponsors exemption.

He will be in Tampa watching the Chargers win the Super Bowl.

Funny, not this year!

Phil never commits to a tournament more than a month in advance, besides majors. There was a stink about him not playing in Pebble a year ago. He decided to play 2 weeks before the tournament. I highly doubt he won't be at the FBR.
