THE FIELD TAKES SHAPE: A PREVIEW OF THE PROS YOU WILL SEE IN SEATTLE

The Boeing Classic continues to draw one of the best fields on the Champions Tour and showcases the legends of golf competing at the highest level. This year's tournament looks to be one of the most competitive yet with an impressive field of Pros, many of whom are in the hunt for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. The late August dates make the Boeing Classic a critical event in the tightly contested Charles Schwab Cup race, with significant points on the line to boost their ranking.

This year, we again look forward to welcoming our hometown hero and World Golf Hall of Famer Fred Couples, who will draw a large gallery wherever he's at on the course. Other players expected who have been impressive all season include Colin Montgomerie and Bernhard Langer, who are both dominating with two Champions Tour Majors in 2014.

Fan-favorites Rocco Mediate and Mark O'Meara always draw a following and show well at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge.

Check out the entire field of players expected to take part in this year's Boeing Classic.
