Juist Luiten 170 & lay 4pts @ 75  5th & matched
With 6th place finishes in each of his last two visits to Abu Dhabi, Luiten has the course form to be an off-radar contender this week. Working with a new caddy, Michael Waite, should also be a positive in this first event of 2016.

Alex Noren 260 & lay 4pts @ 130  35th
Very good record in the Middle East - 9th in Qatar and 2nd in Dubai last year, as well as being inside the top-10 after rd1 on four previous occasions in this event. A winner last year (Nordea Masters) so he shouldn't be these odds.

Thongchai Jaidee 110 & lay 4pts @ 55  46th & matched
Another player who has top-10 finishes in his last two visits to Abu Dhabi and six top-15 finishes in total here. All the attention is on McIlroy and Spieth, but this is a good price for a player inside the World top-30.

LAY 20pts liability

Byeong Hun An 30  5th
Matthew Fitzpatrick 38  26th
Victor Dubuisson 50  mc
Andy Sullivan 55  22nd
Thomas Pieters 60  2nd
An is an extremely promising player, but these odds are too short against this field; Fitzpatrick finished mc-72nd-mc in the Middle East Swing last year; Dubuisson has changed clubs to TaylorMade for this year; Sullivan has played in South Africa (missed cut) and Malaysia in the last two weeks and doesn't have a good record on this course; while Pieters is playing his first event in 10 weeks.
