Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship Tips

Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship - Abu Dhabi GC, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirat es

19 January 2017 - 22 January 2017

Tip date: 16 January 2017

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 Rickie Fowler was 2016’s winner. McIlroy, Fowler and Stenson head up this list.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Martin Kaymer	2pt each way 33-1	SkyBet	Returned 18.5pts for T4 place finish! Back Martin Kaymer Again
We’re going for a few desert specialists this week. Martin Kaymer has a great record in the Middle East and is still a top class player. He’s won this three times and is rarely available at this kind of price.
Thorbjorn Olesen	2pt each way 80-1	Stan James	Finishing position: T29 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 five starts in Abu Dhabi. No doubt if he hits the ground running in 2017 he can be a factor this week.
George Coetzee	2pt each way 125-1	Bet365	Finishing position: T60 Back George Coetzee Again
George is getting back to form after an injury hit period. He’s also a winner who has a good Abu Dhabi track record. He’s posted three top 10s in his five visits. He’s looking for a better 2017 and can certainly pop up in the paying places this week.
