• COURSE: Armand Hammer

• CHECK IN TIME: 8:45 AM, Sunday Sept. 25

• FIELD WATCH: Will he or won’t he? Current #1 Ed Quiroz is 50-50 for Sunday, potentially swinging the door wide open for #2 Chris Moawad and #3 John Frost to gain ground for Player of the Year points.

• LAST YEAR: Doug Vargas defeated John Mann in the 10th edition of the tournament, and became the first golfer not named Walter or Chris Moawad to win the Surivor since Gerry Vaughan in 2007.

• STORYLINES: Defending champion Doug Vargas is suffering the worst season of his career. He has made just 3 starts this season, and with no wins, his streak of at least 1 victory on Tour – currently 5 years – could end.

• APPROACH SHOTS: Sunday marks the 5 year anniversary of Walter Vargas’s successful 3-peat when he defeated John Frost in a double playoff… John Frost has finished runner-up in 3 of the last 5 years… Patrick Bird will be making his 95th career start.
