World number 2 Rory McIlroy has been in brilliant form and will be looking to add another major win this year. He plays well in the desert, having finished top 5 in 2 out of his last 3 events. He finished T2 in the DP World Tour Championship. Predict him to start the year off with a win.

World number 8 recently won the WWT Championship. He finished off with a very impressive final round 63. He has been very consistent, finishing inside the top 20 in six of his last seven events. Predict another big year for Griffin.

J.J. Spaun finished T3 in this event last year, which included a first- and second-round 66. He is in great form, having finished T4 in the Hero World Challenge and T11 in the WWT Championship. The U.S. Open winner will be hoping for another successful year.

Keegan Bradley is in great form. The world number 14 has finished top 20 in his last three events, including T7 in the Tour Championship. He also finished T6 in this event last year, which included a third-round 64. I predict him to do well in this event.

Hideki Matsuyama comes into this event in good form, having won the Hero World Challenge, finishing with a final-round 64 to finish 22 under. He also finished T16 in this event last year. A player in good form. I predict him to do well in this event.
