With the FLW Tour season now in the books, the field for the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup is complete.
After the dust settled following the Potomac River FLW Tour season finale, there were five anglers who had already qualified among the top 35 in 2017 Tour points. That allowed five additional competitors to gain invites to the Cup via the points.
Below is the list of 53 competitors who will compete at Lake Murray on Aug. 11-13 in Columbia, S.C.
