PGA European Tour UBS Hong Kong Open Preview

Less than a week after the European Tour season finale in which Englishman Tommy Fleetwood was crowned the tour champion, the superstars from the European Tour start the race all over again as the UBS Hong Kong Open marks the start of the 2017/18 season. The tournament has been part of the European Tour since 2001 but has been a professional tournament on the Asia tour since 1959 and holds the distinction (with the Masters venue Augusta) as having been played at the same venue (Hong Kong Golf Club) for more than 50 years (the only two venues in the history of golf). Last year’s UBS Hong Kong Open outright winner Sam Brazel will be eager to defend his title but he will be up against it in a packed field full of talent keen to get their season off to the best possible start.

PGA European Tour UBS Hong Kong Open Betting Tips and Advice

One of our best UBS Hong Kong Open tips is for in form man of the moment Tommy Fleetwood to continue his stunning performances in 2017 and give his season the perfect start. When he took to the tee this time last year, little did he know that in 12 months’ time he would be one of the headline acts. A tied third at this event was an impressive start to the season for Fleetwood and his game has only improved since. With a host of available markets on this game such as Outright winners, paid places, each way bets, and even top players from each nation, the selection is very in-depth as you can explore in our free sports betting tips. However, Ladbrokes’ price for Fleetwood to finish in the top five at odds against is generous considering the kind of form the Englishman is in right now and he is one of the best UBS Hong Kong Open bets to be had.

2017 Masters champion Sergio Garcia is a man more than capable of proving the doubters wrong once more. In a Continental Euro field looking relatively weak, Garcia is a heavyweight name and in resurgent form after the year of his life. Betfair have some of the best odds on UBS Hong Kong Open, especially in their submarkets and Garcia to finish ahead of the likes of Rafa Cabrera Bello, Thomas Detry, and Alexander Bjork. Spanish rival Cabrera Bello may be mister consistent but Garcia is mister spectacular with no shot too much the outspoken Spaniard. An early impressive finish is the order of the day for Garcia as he bids to finish 2017 as well as he started it and continue to make a big noise, especially here in Hong Kong.

Looking for value a little further down the table and Chinese sensation Haotong Li is an impressive price with Betway to start his season with a top ten. The 22-year-old has tasted victory in Asia once before at the China Open but is a consistent performer and is a top pick in our UBS Hong Kong Open preview to leave Hong Kong with another top ten on the European Tour to his name. His slight frame can be misleading as his rip-roaring drive will suit the fairways of the Hong Kong Golf Club down to a tee giving him a few yards’ advantage over a majority of his opponents. The win may be too far a stretch but a top ten is certainly not as Li looks to make a splash in our golf betting odds and take his career to the next level in 2018.
