The front of the market for the Waste Management Phoenix Open is close to an exact replica of the .

World number one Dustin Johnson isn't at TPC Scottsdale, but the next four in the list are and they're joined by number seven, too. Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, Rickie Fowler and Hideki Matsuyama make this an extremely good renewal of a tournament which acts as golf's Super Bowl party and has produced great drama in the past. Ten of the last 11 renewals have been decided by a shot or a play-off, and the other saw Phil Mickelson lip-out for a 59.

Choosing between those market leaders isn't easy, and a strong case can be made for each. Spieth has won better than one-in-seven over the last three years, which feels like a fair time span to judge him on if we allow him a couple of seasons to get his feet under the table. Anywhere he tees it up, the three-time major champion deserves to be vying for favouritism.

Matsuyama has form figures of 4-2-1-1 here, that he's beaten 517 players of the 524 he's lined up against in the event. Numbers like that explain numbers like 10/1 and he produced some encouraging golf at Torrey Pines last week. Again, there doesn't appear to be a major negative bar the fact that winning the same event three years running is extremely rare.
