Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are not playing at this week's WGC-HSBC Champions but there will still be a stellar line-up of golfers.

The selection process for this tournament means players from Asia will be involved and it represents a wonderful chance for these young guys to get experience. Nothing brings your golf game on like competing against the best and if some of these lads are fortunate enough to play with Donald, Rose and the like this week, they can watch, learn and hopefully improve. I don't think it will see them making a major impact at the top of the leaderboard this time, but it will ensure that they are more competitive in the years ahead.

ROB'S SKY BET TIP

After much deliberation, I will go for Justin Rose (13/1 with Sky Bet). Peter Hanson has knocked him down to third spot in the Race to Dubai so the Englishman needs a big cheque to keep pace with both the aforentioned Swede and table-topper Rory McIlroy. That's all the incentive he needs.
