Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship Tips

Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship - Abu Dhabi GC,Abu Dhabi,United Arab Emirates

21 January 2016 - 24 January 2016

Tip date: 18 January 2016

A solid field lines up this week at Abu Dhabi GC for the first real Tour event of 2016. It’s a long 7600 yard par 72 that favours the longer hitters with big greens and wide fairways. A strong field lines up this week and Gary Stal was 2015’s shock winner. McIlroy, Speith, Fowler and Stenson head up this list.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Kiradech Aphibarnrat	2pt each way 66-1	SkyBet TOP SIX	Finishing position: T72 Back Kiradech Aphibarnrat Again
We’re happy to go in the fast improving Aphibarnrat this week. Fact is, these days he can win pretty much anywhere he tees it up. He posted multiple wins in 2015 and we see no reason why this will change this year. The long wide open set up in Abu Dhabi should play into his hands this week.
Thorbjorn Olesen	2pt each way 80-1	SkyBet TOP SIX	Finishing position: T72 Back Thorbjorn Olesen Again
Thorbjorn is a bit in and out but has posted victories in his last two seasons. He also has a fine record in desert events. We think he can notch a top six this week having managed T8 and T2 in his last four starts in Abu Dhabi. No doubt if he hits the ground running in 2016 he can be a factor this week.
Thongchai Jaidee	2pt each way 50-1	SkyBet TOP SIX	Finishing position: T46 Back Thongchai Jaidee Again
We’re big fans of Thongchai and he delivered a 55-1 outright winner for us last season. He’s a good desert player and should have a decent chance this week. With top 10s in hios last two starts we really have to snap up this early price.
