Each week, we focus on five compelling players at the week's tournament. They may not be the best, or even in line to win, but something is drawing us their way. Today, we'll show you five players who've got a good angle on the Accenture. And no, you-know-who isn't one of them. We've heard enough about him.

The course: The brand-new Dove Mountain course at the Ritz-Carlton in Marana, Arizona. The course is Nicklaus's first in the Tucson area since La Paloma opened in 1984.

Steve Stricker: Stricker is quietly putting together a strong early season, and he drills birdies at a three-to-one ratio over bogeys. He's not the most accurate cat on the course, but he's in every single hole -- which is exactly how you need to play this week.

Boo Weekley: He's one of the most accurate in the game off the tee, and he's also got the ability to pile up birdies. His combination of steadiness and recklessness sets him up well for match play.

Ian Poulter: He's one of the most unpredictably talented rising stars in the game, and he could well put on a strong five-day run. He's got the mindset for multiple equivalents of Sunday-afternoon back nines.

Pat Perez: He's a 16 seed unlike any other, riding high on a confidence that the usual 16-seed Sister Marys of the Poor can't even begin to summon up. And he's playing Padraig Harrington, who's yet to replicate the kind of success that got him a pair of majors last year.

Anthony Kim: It's his first Accenture, but he's got a reasonably light route to the Elite Eight, at the very least. And he's got some experience with big-game match play, as Sergio Garcia can attest after his Sunday Ryder Cup waxing at Kim's hands.
