As always, the Wells Fargo Championship this week in Charlotte, North Carolina, will have a high-quality field.

This year, 10 of the top 30 players in the Official World Golf Ranking will be at the Quail Hollow Club in an attempt to win one of the favorite stops on the PGA Tour and make sure they are in top shape going into The Players Championship.

Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose, Webb Simpson and Ernie Els are among the the big names in the field this week.

There are also two players who have won this event previously but come to Charlotte this week surrounded by questions.

Rory McIlroy won the event in 2010, gaining a great deal of notoriety by finishing the tournament with a sparkling 62 on Sunday. Fowler won in 2012, surviving a playoff against McIlroy and D.A. Points, when he stuffed a wedge shot four feet from the cup on the first extra hole.

Here are two world-class players—one a former No. 1 in the world, and the other a player who brought outlandish color with him to the PGA Tour—and, bottom line, two players who should be winning more than they are.

So, the question is, who is more likely to win the coveted Wells Fargo?

Well, in my opinion, the place to start is in the numbers and how they translate into recent form.

After crunching the numbers, McIlroy seems to be the favorite based on form.

The young man from Northern Ireland has made four starts on the PGA Tour and has registered four top 10s. His worst score has been a 75, but he's posted eight scores in the 60s.

Fowler, who is undergoing a swing change under the tutelage of renowned teacher Butch Harmon, doesn't come close to matching McIlroy's numbers. He's had 13 starts, posted three top-10s and missed five cuts.

His worst score has been a 77. Fowler has recorded 10 scores in the 60s, but only two of those have come since the Honda Classic in March.
