TEAMS FOR 2013
| MARTIN WITT - DOUG VARGAS | ||
|---|---|---|
 | The 2-time defending champions made history last year as the first ever repeat champs. Now they’ll go for the 3-peat. |  |
| JOHN FROST - PATRICK BIRD | ||
|---|---|---|
 | One is the scourge of the other's Tour existence. This pairing just begs for a front row seat to see how this plays out. |  |
| CLINT CRUMP - JO CLEMENTE | ||
|---|---|---|
 | 2003 Hooters champ Clint Crump won’t have his original partner Martin Witt who’s aiming for a 3-peat with Doug Vargas. But his partner this time around is charter member and former Tour player Jo Clemente. |  |
| RENE QUIROZ - TIM JOE | ||
|---|---|---|
 | Quiroz makes his 2013 season debut. Veteran Tim Joe keeps it in the family. Last year he paired with Ed Quiroz, Rene's younger brother. |  |
| P-JAY FIDLER - G. VAUGHAN | ||
|---|---|---|
 | Fidler missed last year, but prior to that had 2 straight runner-up finishes. 2007 champion Vaughan finished tied for 2nd last year. |  |
| W. VARGAS - T. GORDÓN | ||
|---|---|---|
 | Adversaries that must now work together is always an intriguing endeavor. Vargas, who won the Hooters in 2006, is making his 2013 season debut. |  |
