DP World Tour Championship current form picks
Tyrrell Hatton @ 16/117.00
The Englishman finished second, missing out by one shot to Jon Rahm, at last week's Abu Dhabi Championship. It was his best performance for a while, following consecutive missed cuts, and this week he returns to a course where he finished second in 2022.
Adrian Meronk @ 50/151.00
The Polish player is an appealing price this week, following last week's 18th in Abu Dhabi. Last month he won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and subsequently finished T3 in India,
Casey Jarvis @ 40/141.00
The South African tends to alternate impressive finishes with weaker performances. Last week he was 51st, prior to that T4 at the Korea Championship. His T2 at the Alfred Dunhill was followed by T32 in India. If the pattern continues, he'll be a contender this week in Dubai.
DP World Tour Championship course form picks
Rory McIlroy @ 7/24.50
The two-time Masters winner often performs well in this part of the world and has an affinity for the Earth Course. He was second last year, when defending the title, and fourth in 2022. He arrives after finishing third last week in Abu Dhabi.
Jon Rahm @ 6/17.00
The Spaniard won in Abu Dhabi last week and, after winning this tournament in 2022 and '19, it would be no surprise to see him in contention again this week.
Tommy Fleetwood @ 9/110.00
Fleetwood was third here last year and has twice finished a runner-up. His recent fourth at the Alfred Dunhill, and T5 in India, indicate that he's playing well.
