Phil Mickelson can silence those questioning his appetite with a successful defence of the WGC-CA Championship in Miami this week.
The world number three was heavily criticised for skipping the last World Golf Championship event - the Accenture Match Play Championship - while his start to the season has hardly been anything to set the pulses racing.
Mickelson was expected to take centre stage in the self-imposed absence of Tiger Woods, but the left-hander has done anything but in a golf season that has so far flown under the radar.
The 39-year-old won at Doral 12 months ago but it is fair to suggest that his online betting favourite tag is based on past performances rather than current form.
Mickelson has finished in the top 20 in five of his last seven events, but has not finished better than eighth in 2010.
However, his record at Doral - and its revered Blue Course with its tough as teak finishing stretch of holes - is as good as anyone else in the field this week.
His 19-under-par winning aggregate last year was the best since the tournament moved to Miami in 2007 and he also finished 20th in 2008 and 22nd in 2007.
The sportsbooks also favour Steve Stricker and the veteran American certainly has an impressive record in this event. The recently crowned world number two finished 12th in 2009 and sixth in 2008, while he has also secured top-ten finishes in his last five tour events.
Camilo Villegas cannot be ignored as he and England's Paul Casey are arguably the form horses coming into the week.
Villegas' impressive victory at a canter in last week's Honda Classic provided a response to those who questioned the Colombian's ability to handle pressure down the stretch.
Meanwhile, Casey helped himself to a course-record equalling 64 at PGA National to add to his growing reputation Stateside following his recent appearance in the final of the Accenture Match Play.
What is certain is that whoever wins this week will have to get the better of the 467-yard 18th hole.
The toughest closing hole in golf requires a brave tee shot which flirts with water and crosswinds to find a sliver of a fairway.
The second shot requires nerves of steel as the green is perched on the edge of the water hazard and a par here on Sunday afternoon will be some achievement.
