The winner is also bound to stack 34-35 OWGR points, depending on the field strength. There will also be a two-season DP World Tour exemption, which will provide significant playing privileges to the one who takes the trophy home. For other players, too, it is going to be a win-win situation.
The top eight players in the Race to Dubai standings will be paid from a bonus pool of $6 M. On that note, the HSBC Championship features a no-cut format, with all the players guaranteed to play all four rounds. That would also mean that everyone on the field takes some amount of money home.

Players to look out for at the 2025 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship
Of course, the first among them is Rory McIlroy. He is the overwhelming favorite with odds from +550 to +650. Although if one follows him, they know that McIlroy performs decently in such events, with a place in the middle of the leaderboard. His last appearance at the DP World India Championship is an apt example (T26). Yet, his mere presence brings grandeur to any event. The Northern Irishman has had some good headlines, such as his career grand slam at the Masters, The PLAYERS, and the Ryder Cup win.

Following him is Tommy Fleetwood. He is the strongest challenger on the course, with odds of +600 to +700 to win. His 2025 season has made him everyone’s favorite, as he grabbed his first PGA Tour win at the TOUR Championship in August. Fleetwood also played a historical role at the Ryder Cup, contributing four points and winning his first four matches. His last win was recorded at the DP World India Championship, which proves that he is on a momentous ride.
At last, there is Tyrrell Hatton, who brings great odds of winning (+800 to +1100) at Abu Dhabi. He’s had an outstanding result there, including a win when it was held at Abu Dhabi Golf Club. He also finished as runner-up last year. This year, he won the Dubai Desert Classic and had a fifth place at the BMW PGA Championship in September.
