Fan favorite Rickie Fowler and major-championship winners Sergio Garcia and Louis Oosthuizen have committed to play in next month's 3M Open in Blaine.
Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker and 2009 British Open champion Stewart Cink also will join a field that also includes defending champion Michael Thompson as well as 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, 2009 U.S. Open winner Lucas Glover and 2013 PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner.
A two-time PGA Tour winner already this season, Cink beat 59-year-old Tom Watson in a playoff at Turnberry in Scotland 12 years ago.
All have told tournament officials they'll play the third annual event scheduled July 22-25, the week after the British Open in England.
Five-time PGA Tour and 2020 Players Championship winner Fowler, 2017 Masters champion Garcia, 2010 British Open winner and last week's U.S. Open runner-up Oosthuizen and Stricker all will play at TPC Twin Cities for the first time.
Players have until July 16 – the Friday afternoon before tournament week – to enter and can withdraw at any time.
