According to a Sport24 report, Masters and US Open winner Jordan Spieth, British Open champion Zach Johnson and PGA Champion Jason Day were expected to compete for this year's title.

The PGA event was earlier scheduled to take place in October at the Donald Trump's National course in Los Angeles. But Trump's controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants forced the PGA to seek a different venue.
