- Three of the hottest rookies on the PGA TOUR - - Camilo Villegas, Nathan Green and Henrik Bjornstedt - have just committed to next week's 38th annual Verizon Heritage to be played over the Harbour Town Golf Links.
"These are three terrific rookies," said Tournament Director Steve Wilmot, "and the fans will enjoy watching their unique skills that were developed in three foreign countries." Villegas hails from Colombia, South America, Green from Australia and Bjornstedt from Norway. All will be making their first starts at Harbour Town.
This trio adds to an already strong field that is led by Defending Champion Peter Lonard, Ernie Els, Jose Maria Olazabel, Davis Love II and Justin Leonard.
