The 2014 U.S. Senior Open features a number of prominent golfers who have won numerous accolades in their careers but still have the itch to tee it up in major competition.

One of the biggest storylines entering the event was a strong contingent of first-time participants in Champions Tour majors, headlined by Vijay Singh. The former world No. 1 won a record 22 PGA Tour events after turning 40. With his dedication to fitness, he still has the firepower to conquer a shorter course than he's accustomed to in Oak Tree National this week.
