72 players take to the 1st tee for this weeks WGC event at The Concession in Florida. We pick 4 players to take on the field.
This event has been renamed due to COVID-19 forcing it to take place in the States rather than the panned host country of Mexico.
We have no recent course form to go on, but the Concession plays to a par 72 and although the landing areas are generous, the greens can challenging and good iron play will be crucial this week.
Dustin Johnson was a disappointing 8th last week having started a big favourite and he once again tops the betting boards at 7/1, Jon Rahm is 10/1 and you can get 16/1 and better the balance.

SELECTIONS:
Dustin Johnson each way at 7/1
I am going for DJ this week as I think he will be well suited by the course which is quite forgiving off the tee and with his distancing he can be approaching the greens with shorter irons than most of his opponents. He is in cracking form and wasn’t exactly disgraced last week.
Bryson Dechambeau each way at 20/1
Bryson missed the cut last week and he battled for control off the tee. I have the feeling that this layout will be more to his liking though with the generous fairway and he did win a Collegiate event back at this course in 2015.
Tommy Fleetwood each way at 50/1
Fleetwood hasn’t quite been at his best, but has had two top 10 finishes in his last 4 starts and also has some consistent form in WGC events. He is the type of player that rises to the top in strong fields which this most certainly is.
Joaquin Niemann each way at 45/1
Niemann returned to action after a short break last week and finished inside the Top 50, but it is his form before that which attracts me to him and he had 2 runner-up finishes in a row. He has the game to take on this course and I am hoping for a big run from him this weekend.
