Miami (USA): Arjun Atwal returns to the US PGA Tour after a three-week break at the $5.5 million Ford Championship at Doral from Thursday.
The Indian ace who had a tremendous run in 2005 has missed his last two cuts after finishing tied fourth at Buick Invitational in the last week of January.
Also in the fray will be Daniel Chopra, who finished tied fifth at AT and T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, will be looking to make up for his missed cut at Nissan Open.
He got a week off last week as he skipped the Chrysler Classic of Tucson.
Atwal plays with Billy Andrade and Brett Quigley, while Chopra is paired with Bernhard Langer and Tom Pernice Jr.
The Ford Championships will be the strongest in recent years as the top five of the world have confirmed their presence as the season heads towards The Players Championship and the Masters.
Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Phil Mickelson are all there in a field which has nine from world's top-10. Woods is the defending champion.
Apart from World Matchplay at La Costa last week, the Open Championship in July last year was the last time Woods, Vijay, Goosen, Els and Mickelson got together at the same stroke-play tournament.
The only absentee from world's top-10 is number eight, Adam Scott.
