The PGA Tour's biggest names return to the golf course this weekend. Well, almost.

Jordan Spieth, Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler are just a few of the names highlighting the WGC HSBC Champions event in Shanghai, China. Rory McIlroy is also slated to appear. Assuming, of course, he's healthy enough to return.
The four-time major champion was forced to missed Wednesday's Pro-Am after suffering food poisoning.

Odds
Food poisoning or not, McIlroy is favored to leave Sheshan Golf Club with a victory, per Golf News. The 26-year-old opened at 6/1, while Spieth is second choice at 8/1. Watson -- who is the defending champion in this event -- is a solid bet at 16/1.
Prediction
With all eyes on the Tour's biggest names, it's Kevin Na who's quietly enjoyed a stellar start to his campaign. The 32-year-old has been in the top three in the first three events of this young season.
He'll carry that momentum into Sunday.
