All times eastern.

Kenny Perry, Chad Campbell, Troy Matteson
Tee time: 8:30 a.m.
Tee: No. 10
Total TOUR wins: 17
Why you should watch: Campbell's name has come up as one of the players who stand in the way of Perry this week at Milwaukee, so it's fitting that they will be playing together in the first round. Perry hasn't shot a round higher than 71 in six weeks, and it's unlikely that he will in Wisconsin. Brown Deer Park demands straight drives and solid irons, and Perry has both in spades.

Will MacKenzie, Chris DiMarco, Tim Herron
Tee time: 8:40 a.m.
Tee: No. 10
Total TOUR wins: 8
Why you should watch: MacKenzie was one of the lone few who managed to hang with Perry during the John Deere Classic. The North Carolinian is making strides from knee surgery, and his game is well-suited to Milwaukee, where he shot 64 in the second round in 2007. Keep an eye on DiMarco -- he is playing much better as summer enters its crest. At 154th in FedExCup standings, he needs to make a move -- and fast. He was T13 at the Travelers Championship in late June and badly needs a top-10 this week.

D.J. Trahan, Joe Ogilvie, J.J. Henry
Tee time: 1:25 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 4
Why you should watch: Trahan's had an interesting year. Even when he's missed the cut -- which hasn't been often -- it has usually been only by a shot or two. Trahan is always one of those guys in the back of your mind that you think has the potential to shoot 59. At Brown Deer Park, 59 is attainable. Ogilvie's had a decent year, but he is definitely in some need of FedExCup points (108th). A win here this week would double his current total. Henry is one of the surprises of the 2008 season: He's an enormous talent, but he sits 166th in the standings without a single top-25.
