Jimmy Walker-Hideki Matsuyama-Patrick Reed
Reed, the defending champion, is paired with Walker, who was his Ryder Cup teammate. We could see all three players at this year’s Presidents Cup, too. Reed beat Walker in a playoff earlier this year at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions; Matsuyama finished third in that tournament.

Rory McIlroy-Bubba Watson-Henrik Stenson
The world’s top three players are in this threesome. McIlroy, who missed the cut at last week’s The Honda Classic, finished a career-best third at Trump National Doral in 2012. He has finished in the top 10 in half his starts here, though he finished 25th last year. Watson was runner-up at this event in both 2012 and 2014. Stenson hasn’t finished in the top 10 in this event since it moved to Doral in 2007.

Sergio Garcia-Justin Rose-Jordan Spieth
Two of Europe’s Ryder Cup stalwarts are playing alongside a young American star. These players are Nos. 7-9 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Garcia has twice finished third in the Cadillac at Trump National Doral, and finished 16th last year. Rose won here in 2012, though he has missed the cut in his past two starts, at The Honda Classic and Farmers Insurance Open. Spieth finished 34th in his debut at this event last year. He’s finished in the top seven in his previous two starts.

Furyk has finished in the top 15 in his two PGA TOUR starts in 2015. Day has never finished better than 20th at Doral. Scott was a career-best third in the Cadillac at Doral in 2013. Furyk hasn’t finished in the top 30 in his past four trips to Trump National Doral.
