INDIVIDUAL
Cameron Smith – Cam enjoyed a very solid start to the season in Mayakoba with a 6th place finish, and I think the mullet-haired magician will thrive in Tucson.
TEAM
4Aces GC – The rest of the field are gunning for them, but they are yet to be beaten on U.S. soil. DJ shot a 78 in round 3 in Mayakoba, and Patrick Reed was over par in all 3 rounds, yet they still finished second. That's ominous.

INDIVIDUAL
Bubba Watson – I’m stupidly loyal.
TEAM
RangeGoats GC – Goats can thrive anywhere, even in the desert.
Jerry Foltz

INDIVIDUAL
Brendan Steele – Picking Steele for the win in a field this stacked would obviously seem like a longshot, but he might be the best driver of the ball in the LIV Golf League and that is the single most important aspect of desert golf.
TEAM
HyFlyers GC – They may not win, but I think they'll have they're first podium finish on the heels of two proven desert players in Phil Mickelson and Steele.
Su-Ann Heng

Talor Gooch – He was my pick in Mayakoba and came close, so I’m going to go with him again. Followed him around in Mayakoba and even though he didn’t have his best final round, for most of the week he was driving the ball great, and hitting his irons even better.
TEAM
Ripper GC – ‘Cos they’re my team, so I gotta show them some love. Cam Smith didn’t have his “A” game but he played solid at Mayakoba with a top 10 finish. Marc Leishman is striking the ball well and Matt Jones got some good memories in Arizona at ASU.
Troy Mullins

INDIVIDUAL
Brooks Koepka – Brooks is finally healthy, injury-free, and plays well in Arizona.
TEAM
4Aces GC – Peter Uihlein played well in Mayakoba, Pat Perez went to ASU and knows the desert, DJ always bounces back after an off performance and Patrick Reed plays best with a chip on his shoulder.
Dom Boulet
Dom Boulet
INDIVIDUAL
Paul Casey – A desert resident and has a good record at this course.
TEAM
Iron Heads GC – Three of the four team members live and play in the desert.
