Our No.2 pick for this week is the man who leads the Race to Dubai standings going into the final tournament, 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 them 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, he has moved inside the top 25 of the Official World Golf Rankings as a result, and he is also looking to become the first Austrian to win the Race to Dubai, and he can do so

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, as well as taking home the biggest prize on the European Tour.

This will be Wiesberger’s seventh appearance at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, with the Austrian having finished inside the top 20 on three occasions, including a T4 result in 2016.
