Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Tips

Rory McIlroy is one of the best golfers in this tournament and should get at least fifth place if he performs at his usual level.

Tommy Fleetwood should do well in this tournament here, as he has finished fifth in Genesis two tournaments ago and is in form.

Hatton has had three top five finishes from his last five starts. He won this event in 2021 and was runner up last year.

I like the odds on Robert MacIntyre here a lot, as he has enticing odds and finished second in the BMW Championship recently as well.

The Dane has finished 10th and 13th the last two years at Yas Links, and I am backing him after finishing tied 14th in his last start at the Baycurrent Classic. Nicolai Hojgaard can have another good week in the Abu Dhabi Championship.

The Englishman was runner-up a fortnight ago at the Genesis Championship, and he has won this year on the DP World Tour, as well as having multiple top ten finishes. Laurie Canter won in Bahrain and was third in Dubai. I am backing he will challenge in the Abu Dhabi Championship.

Alex Fitzpatrick has been playing well the past couple of months and also played well in this last season with a top 20 finish. He is a massive price to play well again here this week.

The Frenchman was tied 5th last month at the Open de España, and I am backing he will have a good week in Abu Dhabi. Twelve months ago, he was tied 6th here, and I am going for Ugo Coussard to be a challenger again in the Abu Dhabi Championship.
