The European Tour season reaches its climax this week with the DP World Tour Championship played at the Earth Course at the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. We take a look at the Tournament from a betting angle.

The Earth Course plays to a par 72 and it is long with wide fairways. There are a host of bunkers scattered throughout and water can play a role down the finishing stretch. Given the room for error off the tee, driving distance is usually important and finding the large undulating greens is also a key to victory here.

Organisers will be disappointed that current 3^rd place in the Race to Dubai and World Number 1, Jon Rahm is not playing in the tournament, but we nonetheless have a quality field with Rory Mcilroy heading the betting at 6/1 ahead of Collin Morikawa 8/1 and you can get 16/1 and better the balance.

SELECTIONS

Rory Mcilroy win only at 6/1

Rory has won this event twice before, the last time coming back in 2015 and he was 4^th when he last played here in 2019. He is coming off a bit of a break, but won his last Tournament and he looks a worthy favourite this week and as I only wanted to select one of the top two in the betting, he narrowly edges Morikawa as my pick.

Bernd Wiesberger each way at 20/1

Wiesberger warmed up for this Tournament with a runner-up spot last week and although his course form doesn’t jump off the page at you he did have a 4^th place finish back in 2016.

Patrick Reed each way at 30/1

Patrick Reed gets into this Tournament by invite and it is something he may well take advantage of as he has an excellent record at the track with 4 Top 10’s in his 5 starts here including a 3^rd place last year and a runner-up finish in 2018. He was runner-up 3 weeks back although hasn’t played well over the last fortnight, but I expect him to go well at a track that he really enjoys.

Adri Arnaus each way at 60/1

I had to look for an outsider and Arnaus is what I have come up with, he is in good form all be it a bit erratic and had a Top 10 in his last finish two weeks back. It is his course form though that catches the eye, this will be his third appearance here with a Top 30 on debut and a 10^th place finish in 2020.
