The Florida swing of the PGA Tour continues this weekend with the 12th edition of the Transitions Championship.

Donald started the year slowly with a T48, T56 and a T33 finishes, before his T6 this past weekend at the WGC Cadillac. He seems to be finally back on track and should be contending this year.



Schwartzel is my pick to win the tournament. This past two weeks he has finished T5 and T4, and the way he has been putting, he just needs to hit a few more GIRs and will get his first win since the Masters.

Rose comes from the biggest win of his career this past weekend at the WGC Cadillac. He enters the Top 10 in the world rankings at the seventh position and in the past two weeks, he has been the best player—not named Rory McIlroy—in gol...
