Prediction and Preview

The field at the 2013 Shriners tournament is not as stacked as many of the other major events on tour, but there is still plenty of legitimate talent vying for the right to hoist the trophy at the second event of the 2013-14 season.

Golf fans are always on the lookout for big-name stars and how they are performing. With players like Zach Johnson, Angel Cabrera and Webb Simpson all adorning the field, this is the perfect opportunity for an unproven talent to steal the spotlight and make a name for himself.

The stage has been set for 21-year-old sensation Hideki Matsuyama to win this tournament.

With a third-place finish in last week’s Frys.com Open and solid play at the Presidents Cup, Matsuyama has proved he is one of the best prospects in the sport. Add his ability to stay calm under pressure, and this week’s tournament is Matsuyama’s chance to thrive.

The pursuit of his first PGA Tour victory won’t be easy, as defending champion Ryan Moore is also in the field and playing well, but the fact that Matsuyama has shown the consistency needed to finish in the top 30 in the world rankings proves he is ready for the big time.

Look for Matsuyama to get his first PGA Tour win and begin a dream season.

Predicted Winner: Hideki Matsuyama
