European Tour Tournament Preview and Tips – Abu Dhabi Hsbc Championship
EUROPEAN TOUR TOURNAMENT PREVIEW AND TIPS – ABU DHABI HSBC CHAMPIONSHIP 16 JAN 2017 POSTED BY NICK MARTIN 0 COMMENT All the big names are out in force this week. In recent years the HSBC Championship in Abu Dhabi has been like a major in terms of the field of players it attracts and this year it is certainly no exception. 3 of the world’s top 5 ranked players feature this week as many consider it the springboard to their 2017 season as they all compete for a cut of the $2,700,000 prize purse. With Rory narrowly missing out last week at the BMW South African Open, a win this week will see the 4time major winning champion back in the number one spot UPDATE – Rory McIlroy pulls out of 2017 Abu Dhabi Golf Championship due to injury. Last years winner Rickie Fowler also returns to the field and is sure to be looking to defend his title on a course he clearly likes. Here’s an insight into the course, the tournament and who we think will do well at this year’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. TOURNAMENT HISTORY Making its European Tour debut in January 2006, the HSBC championship has always had a knack of attracting golf’s biggest names and last year boasted the strongest field on the European tour with the exception of the 4 majors. Previous winners include twotime major winning champion Martin Kaymer who has his name on the trophy 3 times already, England’s Paul Casey and Wales’ Jamie Donaldson.
