Dustin Johnson is priced 10/1 with Rory McIlroy not too far behind at 12/1 with the bookie. Justin Thomas is priced at 11/1 with Xander Schauffele priced at 14/1.
Other notable names who are currently priced as outsiders with Paddy Power are Brooks Koepka at 25/1, with Tommy Fleetwood a 28/1 shot. Sergio Garcia is at 40/1, with Paul Casey a 50/1 shot.
It’s been held at the same course for three years, with it finding a temporary home in Las Vegas this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Justin Thomas is the current champion and has won the tournament two out of three times, with Brooks Koepka winning by 4 strokes in 2018.
However, it’s a different course but it’s still a time of the year when he plays his best golf.
Dustin Johnson has been among the world’s best since the restart so isn’t worth ruling out, and at 10/1 the second favourite is still providing some pretty tempting odds.
McIlroy will be looking to improve his form ahead of the Masters and this will be a good testing ground. He could be worth an each way bet at 11/1, and if he does do well will be a good punt for the Green Jacket too.
As for outsiders, Sungjae Im and Tyler Duncan could the surprise packages of the tournament.
