Our No.4 pick for this week is the man who leads the Race to Dubai standings, Bernd Wiesberger, who already has three victories on the European Tour in 2019.

3,000 of his 4,200+ points haul on the Race to Dubai leaderboard comes from those three titles, with two of those also being prestigious Rolex Series titles.

He took his first Rolex win at the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open in July, beating out Benjamin Hebert in a lengthy playoff as the sun went down at the Renaissance Club.

Wiesberger then followed that up with a victory at the Italian Open in October. He also lifted the Made in Denmark Open title earlier this year, and he now has seven European Tour titles to his name.

Because of his strong season, the Austrian has moved inside the top 25 of the Official World Golf Rankings as a result, and he will be one of the major players over the next three weeks as the European Tour season comes to its conclusion.

Although he did not play his best golf at the WGC-HSBC Champions in China or the Turkish Airlines Open, do not count out the Austrian from becoming the first-ever golfer to win three Rolex Series titles in the same season.
