The Greenbrier Classic's count of world top 50 players has increased to six with the commitments of Kevin Na and Daniel Berger.
Na is ranked 30th in the Official World Golf Ranking and is coming off a seventh-place finish in the U.S. Open. That sent him up to ninth in the FedExCup points standings. He has top-30 finishes in the previous two seasons.
He tied for seventh in the 2013 Classic, two shots off the lead.
Na won in 2011 at Las Vegas and has eight runner-up finishes in his 13 years on the PGA Tour. He has played in four Classics, with a best finish of seventh place in 2012.
Ranked 32nd in the world, the 23-year-old Berger was the Tour's Rookie of the Year in 2015-16 and won the recent St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tennessee. He finished 10th at the Masters and ninth at the Players Championship.
He missed the cut by a stroke at the 2015 Classic despite a second-round 66.
Those commitments follow those of world No. 42 Jimmy Walker and No. 46 William McGirt. They join No. 5 Bubba Watson and No. 44 Danny Lee, the latter the Classic's defending champ.
Others who joined the commitment list include eight-time Tour winner K.J. Choi, two-time winner Steven Bowditch, one-time winner Brian Harman and Graham DeLaet. Bowditch has played the Classic five times, finishing tied for second in 2013.

The Classic's Youth Day will take place on Tuesday, July 5, two days before competition begins in earnest.
The program begins at 1 p.m. on the first tee of the Meadows course with interactive games and activities for children of all ages. At 2:15, a drawing will select three youths to go inside the ropes with a PGA Tour pro from the 16th green through the 17th hole to the 18th tee.
At 3:30, two golfers from the First Tee of West Virginia and two from the First Tee of Roanoke Valley will pair with two Tour pros in a three-hole scramble. The first, 11th and 18th holes will be used.
On all seven days of the tournament, Greenbrier pro emeritus Lee Trevino will conduct a clinic at 10 a.m. for children 6-11 years old, and one at 11 a.m. for those 12-17.
