2017 DP World Tour Championship Fantasy Preview

After nearly 12 months of hard work and toil – and the occasional slice of top notch golf – the European Tour campaign boils down to its curtain-call event: the DP World Tour Championship from Dubai.

As things stand, there are three players who can win the Race to Dubai glory: Tommy Fleetwood, the current number one ranked played, Justin Rose, and Sergio Garcia.

The permutations are as complex as these things always have a habit of being:

Fleetwood will win the Race to Dubai if he equals/betters Rose’s result at the Tour Championship and Garcia does not win.

Rose will claim the title if he finishes first or solo second, and Fleetwood finishes third or lower.

Garcia can triumph through the backdoor if he wins the DP World Tour Championship, Rose finishes fifth or lower and Fleetwood finishes outside of the top 20.

Simple, right?

And that’s before we’ve even factored in the bonus pool for the top-10 finishers in the R2D standings, with considerable amounts of cash up for grabs.

It’s all a little confusing, so let’s focus on the matter in hand; which is drafting a fantasy team capable of winning some decent money!

The DP World Tour Championship is played at the stunning Jumeirah Estates on the Earth Course; a lengthy 7675-yard, Par 72 stretch. It was designed by Greg Norman, who has identified European parkland courses as his inspiration, which is perhaps why the elite-level players have taken to the layout very nicely.

It’s all lush green rolling fairways, white sand bunkers (99 in total) and crystal-clear lakes (which patrol the last four holes in particular). Conditions will be hot, dusty (i.e. no humidity), and windy, so it’s a physical test as much as one testing skill and psychology.

It will take one final big effort for the winner to emerge after a tough season, and then the players can put their feet up for a while: this is the last European Tour event of 2017, with just the co-sanctioned Hong Kong Open, Australian PGA Championship, Mauritius Open and Joburg Open to come.

So who looks set to make their mark on the DP World Tour Championship this week?
