Abu Dhabi Aldar current form picks
Eugenio Chacarra @ 16/117.00
Last week's 22nd place finish was disappointing but it came after a scintillating run of form which saw the Spaniard win in India, finish T2 in Spain and T3 in France.
Adrian Meronk @ 40/141.00
The Polish player was T3 last time out at the DP World Indian Championship, just a fortnight after winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Casey Jarvis @ 33/134.00
The South African was T4 in Korea a fortnight ago. That was the second time in October that he'd gone close to winning a tournament after he was T2 at the Alfred Dunhill at the start of the month.
Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship course form picks
Rory McIlroy @ 6/17.00
The double Masters winner is the favourite this week on the Betfair Sportsbook. He was third here last year and the year before.
Tommy Fleetwood @ 15/28.50
The Englishman was second here last year and sixth 12 months before. He's in good recent form with a T5 in India and T4 at the Alfred Dunhill.
Aaron Rai @ 16/117.00
The Englishman is this week's defending champion and he arrives in good form. He was T20 last time out in India but, on his previous outing, finished T2 at the BMW PGA Championship. Between last year's win here and the 2026 edition, he has, of course, won the US PGA Championship.
