(Reuters) - The nasty U.S. Open-style rough will place a premium on accuracy at the Northern Trust players said on Wednesday as they prepared for the first event of the lucrative PGA Tour playoff series.

The Glen Oaks Club in Old Westbury hosts the tournament, which is the first of four in the FedExCup series that culminates with the Tour Championship. The winner of the season-long points race will pick up a $10 million (7.81 million pounds) bonus.
