The PGA Tour travels to Las Vegas, Nevada for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open on Thursday. Played on TPC Summerlin -- a par-71 course that runs 7,255 yards -- the tournament will be devoid of some immense talent.
Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and slew of others will not be present, opening the door for less-heralded names to be crowned king, chief among them Rickie Fowler.

“You've got to follow golf to recognize a lot of these guys."

Even if Fowler isn’t suffering from an actual hangover, the emotional hangover of lifting the Presidents Cup trophy will be enough to deter him this weekend.
