Who will win the first European Tour Rolex Series event of the 2021 calendar year?

Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Betting Tips 2021

The European Tour kicks off its 2021 calendar year this week at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

Additionally it is the first Rolex Series event of 2021, and as such a stellar field of players are competing such as - Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tyrrell Hatton, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry and Lee Westwood.

The event, taking place at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, often has a winning score of north of 15-under par so we could be in for an exciting affair.

Who will win this week? Check out our tips...

Bernd Wiesberger <a href="https://bit.ly/354gNuM" data-link-merchant="bit.ly"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">4 points each way at 35/1 with Bet365
The big Austrian has shown form in the desert before - just recently he had a top-10 in Dubai. And he has also played well in this particular event in the past too, including a T4 in 2017, and a T8 in 2019. No doubt he will look to add this Rolex Series victory to the two he secured in 2019 in Scotland and Italy.

Andy Sullivan <a href="https://bit.ly/38RhQAq" data-link-merchant="bit.ly"">3 points each way at 40/1 with Betfred
Sullivan showed excellent form when golf restarted in 2020 and of late he has had three top-10 finishes in his last five starts. One of those was a T3 at Wentworth and the other two both came in the UAE so he is never one to shy away from the big occasion.
Image
Sami Valimaki <a href="https://bit.ly/354gNuM" data-link-merchant="bit.ly"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">2 points each way at 55/1 with Bet365
Again form is good in this pick. Valimaki has not missed a cut since the 2020 US Open, and can clearly play in the desert as he had a T5 and T13 finish in the two most recent events in Dubai.

Thomas Detry <a href="https://bit.ly/3lkJgBW" data-link-merchant="bit.ly"" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2 points each way at 60/1 with 888Sport
Detry had a very good run of results in the summer with a couple of seconds in England. He also came in fourth in Cyprus. Eventually he was amongst the favourites each week but now he has slipped back a touch, his odds offer much better value. He only missed one cut in 2020 so will be around on the weekend and if he can add a hot putter to his great ball-striking, he could well be in with a shout come Sunday.

Sam Tremlett
E-commerce Editor

A golfer for most of his life, Sam is a Senior Staff Writer for Golf Monthly. 

Working with golf gear and equipment over the last six years, Sam has quickly built outstanding knowledge and expertise on golf products ranging from drivers, to balls, to shoes. 

He combines this knowledge with a passion for helping golfers get the best gear for them, and as such Sam manages a team of writers that look to deliver the most accurate and informative reviews and buying advice. This is so the reader can find exactly what they are looking for.


Sam now spends most of his time testing and looking after golf gear content for the website, whilst he is also responsible for all content related to golf apparel. 

He also oversees all Tour player content as well so if you need to know what clubs Tiger or Rory has in play, Sam is the person to ask. 

Unfortunately, Sam is not a member of any club at the moment but regularly gets out on the golf course to keep up the facade of having a handicap of five.
