Magnificent Seven To Appear At Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Presented By EGA

The award-winning Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA will see defending champion and the 2017 European Tour prize money winner Tommy Fleetwood go head-to-head with World Number One, Dustin Johnson, four-time Major winner, Rory McIlroy and 2016 Open Champion and Olympic Silver Medallist, Henrik Stenson. With three of the world’s top ten, Abu Dhabi will welcome another stunning line-up of the world’s best at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club, 18 – 21 January.

The headlining pack will be joined by American Ryder Cup star and Olympic Bronze Medallist, Matt Kuchar, making his Middle East debut and two-time championship winner Paul Casey who has had a remarkable 2017, with a strong performance at the Masters and the Bridgestone Invitational.

The 2017 Official World Golf Ranking’s end of season list confirmed that the 2017 Championship boasted the 2ndstrongest field on the 2017 European Tour season – not including the Majors and World Golf Championships, a list calculated by the number of Top-30 and Top-200 world ranked players competing at every event. Previous championships have seen over 80,000 spectators attend in person, as well as broadcast reach consistently exceeding 450 million viewers, so the 13th edition will be looking to go one better in 2018, surpassing previous record numbers. Spectators will be particularly thrilled by the news that top golfing talent will be on display in Abu Dhabi. Over the four-day championship, 126 players will compete for a total prize purse of $3,000,000 and increase of $300,000 from previous years.
