Stars bound for Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Challenge

As the world’s biggest golf stars prepare for next week’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, some took on a unique ‘keepy-uppy challenge’ that put their skills, knowledge, and ability to stay cool under pressure to the ultimate test.

Competition was tight as Danny Willett, Branden Grace, Thomas Pieters, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer dodged their way round a game of ‘Would you rather…’, Abu Dhabi trivia and offers of Arabic dates, to stay focused on the challenge at hand.


The final teed up a Willett versus Grace showdown, as both attempted to win their watching teams a trip to the UAE capital to see them take on the likes of Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson and Rickie Fowler from 19-22 January.
