Masters champion Bubba Watson feels reluctant to return to the golf tour because he will miss his new-born baby.
Watson won his first major at Augusta on 9 April, just two weeks after adopting one-month old son Caleb.
Ahead of defending his Zurich Open title, Watson said: "Pretty much every day I cry - I cried this morning when I was leaving my boy.
"I would love to be at home right now watching my little boy and spending time with my wife."
Watson, 33, faces tough competition in New Orleans, with world number two Luke Donald also in the field.
But, although he would rather be with his family, Watson felt unable to refuse the invite.
He added: "I felt like it was an obligation that I should be here. I think I should be honoured that I won here before."
Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell and England's Justin Rose have also entered the event.
