Scottie Scheffler returns to action for first time since losing ranking top spot

Last week's golfing triple-header resulted in victories for Jordan Smith in Portugal, Seamus Power in Bermuda and the 4 Aces team in Miami.

Smith, second in the ante-post betting at 16-1, held his nerve to convert a two-shot final-round lead into a three-shot success in the Portugal Masters. Gavin Green was runner-up.

Power overcame windy conditions to become the 22-1 winner of the Bermuda Championship, defeating Thomas Detry by a shot, while 4 Aces edged Punch in a dramatic LIV Golf Team Championship.

The 4 Aces and Punch went well clear of the other two teams who had qualified for Sunday, then Dustin Johnson stepped up a gear in the closing stages, before Patrick Reed holed a decisive birdie putt on his final hole. Cameron Smith starred for Punch, but the 4 Aces team of Johnson, Reed, Talor Gooch and Pat Perez, available at a pre-tournament 9-4, were triumphant.

LIV Golf does not resume until February. This week sees only one main-tour event - the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba. The PGA Tour event, staged at El Camaleon, has been won by Viktor Hovland in the previous two years. The Norwegian is in the field this week looking to complete a quickfire hat-trick of Mayakoba triumphs.

Taking on Hovland in Mexico will be Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Tony Finau. Power will be hunting back-to-back success.
