World Wide Technology, Abu Dhabi Aldar and Aramco China tips. Five players, five bets.

Five players, five bets and nine and a half points, across the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and the Ladies European Tour. Every bet is each way on five places at 1/4, half the places we had in Mexico last week, so the stakes are a little smaller. Ryan Gerard is the main bet at 1.5 points each way, with Keith Mitchell, Jacob Skov Olesen, Aaron Rai and Shannon Tan behind him.

Last week’s Mexico Open card finished 8.2 points up, with Ben Griffin and Doug Ghim both inside the places, and the season stands at +13.16 points. Gerard and Mitchell both paid for us at the Baycurrent Classic last month, and Skov Olesen placed at the Open de España, so three of this week’s five are on the card for the second time.

The World Wide Technology Championship

The World Wide Technology Championship is at El Cardonal at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, a Tiger Woods design that opened in 2014, a par 72 of 7,452 yards with a $6 million purse and a field of 120. The first tee goes at 13:30 Irish time on Thursday. It is low scoring. Ben Griffin won last year on 29 under, two ahead of Sami Välimäki and Chad Ramey, and Austin Eckroat won in 2024 on 24 under, so a long price needs a hot week.

Ryan Gerard 14/1, 1.5pts e/w

World Wide Technology Championship, 5 places at 1/4

Gerard is the main bet. He was beaten in a playoff by J.T. Poston at the Memorial in June, after the two tied on 12 under and Poston won on the second extra hole, and he was third at the Tour Championship in August. Last month he was tied fourth at the Baycurrent Classic on 13 under, where he placed for us at 19/1. Earlier in the year he was second at the Sony Open and tied second at The American Express, and he was 15 under here in 2024. Five places at 1/4 is less generous than the ten at 1/5 we had last week, so the stake is 1.5 points each way and not two.

Keith Mitchell 33/1, 0.75pts e/w

World Wide Technology Championship, 5 places at 1/4

Mitchell was tied second at the Baycurrent Classic last month on 15 under. He was our in-play bet after round three and placed, and he won us a three-ball in the last round. Before that he was fifth at the Byron Nelson in May on 22 under and tied fourth at the U.S. Open. The doubt is the course. He missed the cut here in 2024 and was in the 60s last year on 9 under, which is why he is a small bet, three-quarters of a point each way at 33/1.

The Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship

The Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship is at Yas Links from Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 November, with a field of 70 and the first tee at 03:19 Irish time. Aaron Rai is the defending champion. He beat Tommy Fleetwood on the first playoff hole last year, and Skov Olesen was 15 under in the same event.

Aaron Rai 16/1, 0.75pts e/w

Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship, 5 places at 1/4

Rai is the defending champion and the 2026 PGA Championship winner, having won at Aronimink in May on 9 under. He has been solid since without winning: tied 11th at the U.S. Open, tied 16th at the BMW Championship in August and tied second at the BMW PGA Championship in September on 15 under. We left him out of the India Championship in Delhi last month, where he tied 20th. A major champion and the defending champion at 16/1 on five places is three-quarters of a point each way.

Jacob Skov Olesen 28/1, 0.5pts e/w

Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship, 5 places at 1/4

Skov Olesen is the left-hander still looking for a first DP World Tour win. He was fourth at the Open de España last month, where he placed for us at 26/1, after a tied 11th at the Dunhill Links that finished just outside the places. Earlier in the year he was tied second at the Soudal Open and at the British Masters, and third at the Qatar Masters. We left him out in Delhi, where he tied 20th, and he was tied 21st at the Genesis Championship last time. At 28/1 with five places at 1/4 he is half a point each way.

The Aramco China Championship

The Aramco China Championship is at Mission Hills Resort in Shenzhen from Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 November. It is the third edition on the Ladies European Tour and this year it is pure stroke play over four days, with the field cut to the top 60 and ties and a $2 million purse. Ruixin Liu is the defending champion, winning last year on 16 under by three shots.

Shannon Tan 6/1, 1.25pts e/w

Aramco China Championship, 5 places at 1/4

Tan was our win-only bet at the Hero Women’s Indian Open two weeks ago, at 11/4 as the defending champion, and she finished third, which paid nothing. This time it is each way, and at 6/1 the place part is worth having. Five places at 1/4 pays 3/2 on the place part, so if she finishes in the top five without winning the bet still makes 0.63 of a point, and a win makes 9.38. She was the 2025 Order of Merit winner, won the Magical Kenya Ladies Open in February and was tied sixth at the Women’s British Open, and the LET’s own preview has her happy to be back at Mission Hills.

Left out

Ben Griffin is the defending champion at the World Wide Technology Championship and placed for us in Mexico last week, but at about 12/1 he is too short for five places at 1/4, so he is left out.

Prices are Paddy Power’s on Wednesday 4 November, with five places at 1/4 for all five bets. Each-way stakes are per part, so the five bets are 9.5 points in all, and all five are settled on the record. The first tees on Thursday are at 03:19 Irish time for Abu Dhabi and 13:30 for the World Wide Technology Championship.
