The 2024 Bahrain Championship is set to take place on Wednesday, January 31 at the Royal GC in Al Mazrowiah, Bahrain. This will end a 13-year drought since the last time this course was used on the DP World Tour, but this marks the debut of this event. Rasmus Hojgaard is the current moneyline favorite to win at +800.

The Bahrain Championship will occur at the Royal GC, which is a Par-72 that spans across 7,261 yards. It features four generous-sized lakes spread throughout the course and plenty of bunkers to give golfers a great test.

A handful of golfers that are competing in this event played back in 2011 at the Volvo Golf Champions event, which could help their chances at winning if they have minimal exposure here. However, the favorites in this field arguably have better form than those attempting to compete like they did in 2011.

Plenty of golfers make a compelling case to win, especially since there is not any previous tournament play to go off of here. Below are a few golfers that could steal the show in the top 10 or potentially win it all.

Yannik Paul +1600

Paul is currently ranked as the 35^th-best player in the DP World Tour rankings. His most recent performance was a T4 at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship, offering great momentum here.

He has earned a T8, a missed cut, and the recent T4 out of three events this season. If he can remain consistent, he has a great opportunity to land within the top 10.

Zander Lombard +1800

Lombard has appealing chances at doing well, with a recent T13 finish at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship. So far he has put together a T6, T16, and T13 in his last three starts to kick off the year.

While he has done well and has shown consistency in his last three events, his final day of play has arguably been one his worst. If he can play well enough to open here, he has a good shot at winning.

The 2024 Bahrain Championship presents various betting options, with MyBookie showing Rasmus Hojgaard at +800 for the favorite. Numerous golfers present compelling reasons for consideration, and one standout contender makes a convincing case.

Hojgaard now ranks seventh in the DP World Tour rankings and is the top-ranked golfer in the field. He has excellent momentum coming into this event, with a recent second-place finish at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship last weekend.

So far this year, he has accumulated two T11 finishes and the recent runner-up in three starts. His consistency should offer another good chance at winning.
