The DP World Tour, the newly rebranded European Tour, kicks off 2022 with the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland are among the stars on show teeing it up, as well as English hopes Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton and Lee Westwood who will all be looking to start the new season in style.
This is McIlroy’s first tournament since competing at Tiger Woods’ Hero Challenge at the start of December, but he’s had plenty of joy here before. In 11 previous appearances at the event, he has four second-place finishes and four other third-places.
Hatton won this event last year, while 2019 Open champion Shane Lowry will be hoping forecasts of high winds in Abu Dhabi prove to be correct.
Morikawa will become the world number one if he wins this week, and Jon Rahm also finishes outside the top seven at The American Express on the PGA Tour.
