4. Bubba Watson
The left-hander had an incredible 2022 Saudi International last week. He finished runner-up for the event as Harold’s unbelievable final putt stole the trophy from him. However, Bubba Watson looked in control of his game, and if he keeps that momentum going, then he could be a favorite to lift the trophy.
3. Viktor Hovland
The Norwegian recently registered his third victory in three months. He won the 2022 Dubai Desert Classic in the playoff and had a good rest of around a week. Hence, he will be fresh with an incredible winning momentum alongside him.

Justin Thomas hasn’t registered a victory since the 2021 Players Championship. But we all know good players just need one instance to turn things around, and this week could be it for JT. He is coming back from a break where he got some time to gather himself. Ruling out a surprise win from him would be a mistake.
