McIlroy finished at 12-under par at Abu Dhabi, which was good enough to edgeTiger Woods, Graeme McDowell andTomas Bjorn for second place but one shot behind winner Robert Rock in the first European Tourgolf betting event of the 2012 season. And while Woods is back in the United States to compete this week at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, McIlroy is the 4/1 favorite to chalk up a victory at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

Lee Westwood of England, now ranked No. 3 in the world after being passed by McIlroy, is at 10/1 odds to win in Dubai, and world No. 4 Martin Kaymer of Germany – who finished T9 at Abu Dhabi – is the current second choice behind McIlroy at 8/1 odds.

Defending champion Alvaro Quiros of Spain is back at 22/1 odds to repeat his feat of a year ago, while Bjorn is at 28/1 odds and Rock is at 40/1 odds along with fellow countryman Simon Dyson, veteran Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez, and Matteo Manassero of Italy. Value picks that have shown good form in the early going so far this season also include Anders Hansen (28/1), Paul Lawrie (33/1), and Jean-Baptiste Gonnet (66/1).
