The PGA Tour travels to Charlotte, N.C., this week for the Wachovia Championship. This year's field is devoid of last year's champion -- Tiger Woods -- leaving the door open for the rest of the players.

Wachovia Championship predictions

Horse for the Course	The 2006 winner at Quail Hollow, Jim Furyk also finished second in 2005. He typically plays tough courses well and is coming off a tie for fourth at the Verizon Heritage.	With a win and a T-2 in four career starts at Quail Hollow, Jim Furyk has proved it's not just a course for big bombers. He might be due for his annual victory march.	With four top-10s at Quail Hollow, including the win in 2005, Vijay Singh is as close as it gets to a sure bet at the Wachovia.
Birdie Buster	Vijay Singh has played in all five Wachovias, finishing outside the top 10 just once and posting a victory in 2005.	Yes, I know Stewart Cink is only 1-for-9 when holding the 54-hole lead and I'm still shocked he owns only one career PGA Tour victory, but with five top-10s in nine starts this season, he's almost got to win another one by accident at some point, right?	Andres Romero is capable of making birdies in bunches on tough courses and now has a PGA Tour victory on his resume. That confidence could lead to another solid week.
Super Sleeper	Anthony Kim is close to breaking through for his first PGA Tour victory, and the 22-year-old tied for fifth at the Wachovia last year.	His only win so far on the PGA Tour came in North Carolina (at Greensboro) last year, and here's guessing Brandt Snedeker still will have a little mojo in the Tar Heel State. If he can wipe all those tears away and put his final-round Masters performance behind him, expect Snedeker to continue playing solid golf.	The Wachovia has a quality field and usually crowns a deserving champ, but if you're looking for a surprise, consider Nick Watney. He never has finished outside the top 25 at Quail Hollow.
Winner	This is the tournament where Rory Sabbatini first called out Tiger Woods last year. Without Woods in the field to defend his title, Rory will go on to victory.	The most exciting player on the PGA Tour -- not the best or most consistent, mind you -- may very well be Andres Romero. He cannot only go ultra-low, but he also has the potential to make eagle or triple-bogey on any hole. I say he will post more of the former than the latter this week.	Jim Furyk missed the cut a year ago, but he won the event in 2006 and was T-2 the year before.
