The European Tour heads to Eurasia for the Turkish Airlines Open and the first of three consecutive Rolex Series events to end its 2017 season.
Fresh off a win at last week’s WGC-HSBC Champions – the season’s first of four World Golf Championships, Justin Rose is the slight favorite to capture his 11th career European Tour title.
The reigning Olympic Gold Medalist is listed with 7-1 odds.
Henrik Stenson, a runner up to Rose in Rio, and last week in China, has odds of 8-1.
A trio of Englishmen round out the top 5 favorites, including Tyrell Hatton (11-1), Matthew Fitzpatrick (16-1), and Tommy Fleetwood (20-1).
No one else in the field has better than 20-1 odds.
