Two more international golfing icons have confirmed their appearance at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, presented by EGA.

World number 7 Patrick Cantlay and two-time European Tour winner Haotong Li are the latest players to join the tournament’s world-class lineup.

Taking place between January 16-19, it’s the first of eight Rolex Series events on the 2020 European Tour International schedule.

Cantlay, who is set to make his Abu Dhabi debut, holds the accolade of being the first player since Tiger Woods to reach the Tour Championship in 12 or fewer events.

Meanwhile, Li, who will be making his third consecutive appearance at the event, will be hoping to continue his record-breaking form and become the first man from China to lift the iconic Falcon Trophy.
