It is the 64th staging of this tournament at Torrey Pines, California. The event is played over the North & South courses with all players playing once on the easier North Course so if going for a first round leader, go for a player who starts on the North Course.
The South Course is the longest on the PGA Tour so driving length is a great advantage. Course form is an advantage here with five of the last ten winners having a top ten finish in one of their previous two appearances. No debutant has won since the tournament moved here in 1968.
It is quite a strong field with Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose all competing.
Note that the number of places varies from five up to seven so choose your bookie carefully.
Jason Day 7/1
It is hard to look past the favourite as the most likely winner. He won this event in 2015 after finishing 2nd in 2014 & 9th in 2013. He finished 2015 by winning four of his last six tournaments. He has had a four month break but still finished 10th in the Tournament of Champions courtesy of a final round 65.
Brandt Snedeker 18/1
Snedeker is bang in form with a 3rd at the Tournament of Champions and a 2nd at the Sony Open. He won here in 2012 and has six Top Ten finishes here including four Top Three finishes.
Jamie Lovemark 70/1
Cant desert him after his place last week. Still really good value at 70/1.
Smylie Kaufman 100/1
Picked up his maiden PGA Tour event at the Shriners in October and is looking good again. Should give us a good run for our money
Ryan Ruffels 500/1
This is a bit of a punt but the 17 year old Aussie has been making a few waves. Have had good runs with long shots recently so why not?
Good Luck!

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
