Had been rather quiet this season with a 5th place in Mayakoba his only top-10 finish in his first 5 LIV tournaments this season and was only T45th in Augusta. Rteunrs to thsi tournament as the reigning champion and bounced back to form with victory in Singapore last time out. He is a 3-time winner of this event (2018,2019 & 2023) and could easily make it 4 with Scottie Scheffler having to cope with the distraction of a new baby and Rory McIlroy dealing with the announcement of his divorce.

Has already won twice on the LIV Tour this season (Mayakoba and Jeddah) and has form figures event the likes of Rahm and Kopeka would be envious of. His 7 events so far read 1-30-1-4-9-3-7 and he was also a solid 22nd at Augusta in the Masters. Could make his Major tournament breakthrough this week.

|The Spaniard hasn't really come alive since switching allegiance to the LIV Tour and appears hampered by the shorter format and lacking inspiration. He flopped in defence of his Masters crown (45th) but has now drifted to a backable price and will relish a return to the main tour and the chance to add another Major title. The course looks tricky and his length off the tee will be a huge asset.

The world number 8 hasn't set had the season he would have hoped for yet but was 3rd in the RBC Heritage last month and 4th in the Genesis Invitational back in February. Yet to make a breakthrough at Major level but was 3rd in this tournament in 2019 and was also 9th last year so this looks the likeliest of the four Majors for him

Has developed into a more consistent golder following his victory in the US Open last year. That has given him new belief in his game and he began this season with a win in the AT&T at Pebble Beach before a runner-up spot in both the Arnold Palmer and Players' Championship. He was also 3rd in the RBC Heritage recently and could make the frame here
