23rd Jan 2018 | Dubai Desert Classic

Dubai Desert Classic Tip: Henrik Stenson

Previous winner of this event who tends to go well in the desert. Finished strongly at Abu Dhabi and that should put him spot on for this week.

There are excellent events on both major golf tours this week and i’m playing it slightly safe in Dubai with Henrik Stenson. The 41-year-old is something of a desert rat having won the Qatar Masters, Dubai Desert Classic and DP World Tour Championship during his career.


Last week he finished like a train to crack the top-10 in Abu Dhabi and with the cobwebs blown away he should make a charge for the title in Dubai. In 15 visits he has 7 top-10s at this tournament including a second place finish last year and should go well again.

Stenson enjoyed a strong second half to 2017 winning the Wyndham Championship and coming second at the HSBC Champions. He’s a player to follow when in form and 12/1 (Paddy Power ) is a fair price for 7 places (1/5 odds)
