Here we have two former winners of this event in Stricker and Toms, both of whom have put in a decent showing already this season. Stricker won the season opener in Hawaii and has since taken a 5 week break, partly to build up strength again following some neck problems. He's been back practising for a couple of weeks and been in Arizona preparing for this event since last Thursday. Toms was 6th at the Humana in his last start and, as he showed when winning this event 7 years ago, on his day he can be unplayable in this format.

Johnson and Senden don't have as many obvious positives going for them, but at these prices still look very attractive. Both have started the season well, with not a missed cut between them, and sometimes this format can favour the steady-eddy types (e.g. Donald last year). You don't have to shoot the lights out to come out on top of this field - you just have to beat each of the 6 players that are put in front of you.
