Dustin Johnson has won twice here in Saudi Arabia but there is plenty of value down the board including desert winner Paul Casey.
Best Bet
Paul Casey’s form in the desert is the big guide here. He won the 2021 Dubai Desert Classic and has Top 20 finishes at the last two Saudi Internationals and the most recent edition of the Dubai Desert Classic. Two Top 6 finishes in four LIV events including a T-3 in Bangkok last week.
Mid-Tier Bet
Harold Varner III won the 2022 Saudi International with a remarkable putt so he will have fond memories about returning. Finished 18th in Strokes Gained: Around The Green on the PGA Tour last season. Finished 6th in Bangkok.
Value Bet
Big hitter Matthew Wolff is well suited by this course, ranking 6th in Driving Distance on the PGA Tour. Finished 6th here earlier in the year and has two Top 8 finishes on the LIV circuit.
Longshot Bet
Bernd Wiesberger loves desert golf so we could see a turnaround in form for the Austrian. He has Top 25 finishes in the last two events in Abu Dhabi amd the 2021 Dubai Desert Classic. Ranks Top 25 on the Dubai Desert Classic in Scrambling and Strokes Gained: Around The Green.
