DP World Tour Golf Betting Tips & Betting Offers: Abu Dhabi Championship
The DP World Tour is heading to the Middle East for the first leg of the end-of-season finale at the Abu Dhabi Championship.
Yes, Abu Dhabi will take centre stage this week in a new-look format whereby there will be 70 players teeing it up this week.
Then, 20 players will be cut and the top 50 will have the chance to battle it out in the final event of the season next week in Dubai.
Rory McIlroy, meanwhile, will be hoping to emulate the late, great Seve Ballesteros by lifting the Harry Vardon trophy for a sixth time.
While the Ulsterman hasn’t had a brilliant season by his inexorably high standards, he has a commanding lead, and is more than 1,500 points clear of nearest challenger Thriston Lawrence in the Race to Dubai standings.
There are some neat angles to this event. I have given the lowdown and supplied a couple of DP Tour golf betting tips for you to gorge on, plus the top golf betting offers from the best golf betting sites.
DP World Tour Golf Betting Tips - Abu Dhabi Championship
Tyrrell Hatton to take the honours
Having not played on the DP World Tour for over a month, Tyrrell Hatton should be feeling fresh.
The last time we saw the Englishman was when he pipped Nicolas Colsaerts to victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in St Andrews.
Hatton has put up some good stats when he’s featured on the DP World Tour this season. He’s fifth for putts per greens in regulation and he’s 22nd for average putts per round.
A former champion, Hatton has finished sixth and seventh respectively on his previous two visits to the Abu Dhabi Championship.
Last year, Hatton carded a sublime round of 65 to haul himself from 33rd to seventh, and this place clearly suits him.
To open my DP Tour golf betting tips, I’m plumping on Hatton to enter the winner’s circle and he’s available at a neat, if, short-looking 6/1 price with Paddy Power.
Tommy Fleetwood to fly out of the traps
Currently fifth in the Race to Dubai rankings, it would take something truly extraordinary for Tommy Fleetwood to halt McIlroy’s charge to the Harry Vardon trophy.
Anyway, it’s fair to assert that Fleetwood has had a solid season which included a win at the Dubai Invitational at the start of the campaign and an Olympic silver medal.
In each of his past three starts on the DP World Tour, Fleetwood has opened with a round of 69 or better, and he ranks first for greens in regulation and second for stroke average.
Fleetwood always makes for box office viewing and he will be one of the star attractions in Abu Dhabi.
Given his natural flair with the irons, I think Fleetwood will rise to the occasion on Thursday and lead after the first round. I’ve located a generous price of 14/1 with bet365 should you fancy.
