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.
Frankie Capan III, who will be playing on the PGA Tour next year, finished at 13 under par at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship.
