Hainan Classic 2026 - Contenders based on current form

Angel Ayora @ 11/112.00

Last time we saw Ayora he was finishing tied for 18th at the Joburg Open a fortnight ago - the fourth event in a row at which he made the top 20. He starts this week's event as the favourite and is second on the list for world ranking points accumulated in the past five months.

Dan Bradbury @ 35/136.00

The Englishman is flying high after winning the Joburg Open two week ago. He is triumph followed two missed cuts, although prior to that he came fifth in Qatar in February, and while it is notoriously difficult to record consecutive wins his world ranking points - 36.55 since October - show his success in South African was no fluke.

Nacho Elvira @ 50/151.00

The Spaniard has had a few weeks off after finishing 14th and seventh at the Qatar Masters and Bahrain Championship respectively, so should be fresh for this week in China. Of all the players in the field, he has scored the most world ranking points (47.32) since October.
