The European Tour heads to UAE this week for the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, the third of three consecutive Rolex Series events to end the 2017 season.
Justin Rose, who has captured wins in his last two starts, is the clear favorite to win his 12th career European Tour title.
The 37-year old Englishman is listed with 6-1 odds.
A pair of Spaniards – young Jon Rahm and Masters champion, Sergio Garcia – are next with 11-1 and 12-1 odds, respectively.
The defending champion, Matthew Fitzpatrick, and last week’s winner in South Africa, Branden Grace, round out the top-five favorites at 14-1.
Some good payouts at 33-1 include Thorbjorn Olesen, Alex Noren, and Martin Kaymer. Last week’s Nedbank Golf Challenge runner up, Scott Jamieson, is worth a look at 100-1.
