The DP World Tour's Abu Dhabi Championship tees off Thursday at Yas Links on Yas Island, with Golf Channel carrying U.S. coverage and Sky Sports handling the UK broadcast.
The penultimate event of the Rolex Series season features the top 70 players in the Race to Dubai standings, including major champions Patrick Reed, Jon Rahm, Adam Scott and Francesco Molinari, plus defending champion Aaron Rai.
Who is in contention for the Race to Dubai?
Rory McIlroy enters the week third in the standings, behind Reed and leader Eugenio Chacarra. A fifth consecutive Race to Dubai title would pull McIlroy level with Colin Montgomerie's record of eight European Tour money titles. The tournament is played over four rounds of stroke play with no cut, and the top 50 in the standings afterward advance to the season-ending Tour Championship.
