LIV Singapore first-round preview

Defending LIV Singapore champion Talor Gooch may find Joaquin Niemann, Sergio Garcia and others too hot to handle this week but there seems little to fear from an out-of-sorts set of his fellow Americans.

Backing Gooch to finish the week as top American looks a solid investment, with Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson struggling for confidence. Bryson DeChambeau may be too aggressive for the Serapong Course, while Brendan Steele seems unlikely to follow up his shock LIV Adelaide success with another title tilt.

Team Ripper promised hearty celebrations after their Adelaide triumph and that quartet may not turn up in Singapore in great condition. Danny Lee, the only non-Ripper in the top Australasian market, looks a value outsider.

Fireballs, comprising Sergio Garcia, Abraham Ancer, David Puig and Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra, scream each-way value at 16-1 for the team event, while Niemann and Garcia, playoff combatants at LIV Mayakoba, are difficult to resist in a 100-1 LIV Singapore dual forecast.
