This Week the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship
Held at the Yas Links Abu Dhabi
7425 Yards Par 72
The Defending Champion is Victor Perez
First held in 2006, Chris DiMarco was the first champion . . . and one of only two Americans to win this event (Rickie in 2016). Made part of the Rolex Series in 2019, it is one of eight Premier Events on the European tour. Besides the large purse . . . the hosts are not above paying appearance money so the field will be strong.
FUN FACT: General admission tickets for this event are free . . . I guess they don’t need the money
