Top 5 Tour Events you would play in, not win, outside of the majors

5 - TPC Scottsdale - FBR Open - after seeing the energy at #16 and #17 this February it would be hard to pass up
4 - Wachovia in Charlotte - Michael Collins told us that it was the players favorite so how can I not go there
3 - The Memorial - Jacks place and the golf course looks unbelievable
2 - The Mercedes Championships at Kapalua - Hawaii!!!
1 - Pebble Beach Pro-Am - Celebrities, great golf, great views enough said

5) Memorial - Golf Course looks like a gem......and each hole appears to offer a unique challenge which I like.

4) International (Castle Pines Golf Club) this was the first professional tournament I ever watched in person and was young enough that I didn't fully understand the elevation impact on ball flight. It seemed like these guys hit the ball forever and I thought there was never a chance I could hit it that far.

3) Pebble Beach Pro-Am - Never played Pebble Beach.......need to get there sooner than later.

2) AT&T - Congressional would be hard to pass up

1) Players - To play the TPC in those conditions would be a great experience

Honorable Mentions - FBR Open.....the atmosphere is amazing / Bay Hill / Byron Nelson

5) The Memorial - phenominal looking golf course
4) Verizon Heritage at Harbor Town - always has been a great tourney and would love to play there
3) Arnold Palmer Invitational - how can you pass up Bay Hill?
2) World Golf Championship Bridgestone Invitational - Firestone looks like a great course and has one of the best fields all year
1) Pebble Beach Pro-Am - how could you pass up on that...

Really like the Firestone being included here........I could have easily had that one my list as well.

I just don't know how you cannot include a course like Firestone in it.

The "spectacle" just got a little crazier......they are enclosing the entire hole now with so called bleachers being added. I was at last year's FBR and it is truly an amazing experience every die hard golfer should enjoy. The FBR is a social event, that happens to have a golf tournament next door.
