LONDON — Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler will headline a strong field for the European Tour's lucrative Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship in January 2016.
The trio -- ranked first, third and fifth in the world respectively -- will be joined by Sweden's seventh-ranked Henrik Stenson for the $2.7 million tournament, the first event and richest prize on the Tour's "Desert Swing".
Texan Spieth, 22, is excited about making his Arabian debut as he attempts to build on a breakthrough 2015 which saw him win his first two majors, become world number one, and clinch the PGA Tour's season-long FedEx Cup.
