Riviera is the course Woods has played the most times (11) without ever winning. … Dustin Johnson has won or been runner-up in seven of his last nine tournaments worldwide. … Tyrrell Hatton of England and Webb Simpson are the only players from the top 10 not playing. Hatton has a World Golf Championship next week in Florida, followed by his title defense at Bay Hill and then The Players Championship. … Jordan Spieth was the co-leader and the leader after 54 holes at the last two tournaments. He tied for fourth in Phoenix and tied for third at Pebble Beach. … Willie Mack III is playing on the Charlie Sifford exemption. He also played at Torrey Pines by filling in for Kamaiu Johnson after a positive coronavirus test. … The top 50 in the world ranking this week are eligible for next week’s World Golf Championship in Florida.
