Fantasy Golf Predictions – Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship

European Tour Fantasy Golf Picks and Predictions for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship

The 2017 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Fantasy Preview

The stars come out for the next event up on the European Tour docket; the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.  This tournament was first played in 2006 and has done a fantastic job at creating a strong presence in Asia while attracting some of the best players in the world with a large prize fund.  The outing is played at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club which features a par-72 layout with 7,600 yards to work with.  This is one of the few occasions where you may want to tune into the play overseas rather than that on the U.S. mainland.

Just looking at the winners here since the event was first established paints a clear picture of exactly what sort of outing we should be expecting to see in the next few days.  Paul Casey (2007, 2009), Martin Kaymer (2008, 2010, 2011), Jamie Donaldson (2013), and most recently Rickie Fowler (2016) have laid claim to the trophy and large payout.  Names such as McIlroy, Mickelson, Rose, Poulter, and Pieters have also nearly been in the winner’s circle with a single stroke separating themselves from the victor.  Fowler was able to nail down his second career European Tour win thanks to a slew of magical moments which allowed him to hold off the trio of Stenson, McIlroy, and Pieters with a score of 16-under-par.

This year will once again be a must-watch for any lovers of this wonderful sport as Dustin Johnson comes off a year in which he won three events, including his first major at the U.S. Open, now makes his first start in Abu Dhabi.  He will be joined by last year’s top competitors here, Fowler, Stenson, and Pieters, with McIlroy having to withdraw due to a cracked rib.

The best the European Tour has to offer will also make sure their presence is felt with Alexander Noren, Bernd Wiesberger, Rafael Cabrera Bello, Tyrell Hatton, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Branden Grace, Byeong-hun An, Joost Luiten, and Martin Kaymer all holding 30/1 or better Vegas odds.

Daily fantasy sports have been taking over the fantasy sports world and last year they were able to extend their reach overseas to the European Tour.  This is a great avenue for those who want to explore a new facet of one of the best sports in the world and below are some names at different price levels who we believe can help you get an edge in your contests this week.
