The world's number one golfer, England's Lee Westwood, sets course for major success at this week's new-look Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, as he takes on the event's strongest-ever line-up.

Running 20-23 January at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, this year's £1.69 million tournament boasts all four current 2010 Major champions - Phil Mickelson, Louis Oosthuizen, Graeme McDowell and Martin Kaymner, the current Abu Dhabi champion - as well as double champion, Paul Casey.

Taking time out from the sweeping greens of the championship's National Course, the six superstars joined newly-appointed European Ryder Cup captain, Jose Maria Olazabal, for a sail with the Emirate's Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team, which will compete in the 2011/12 Volvo Ocean Race which stops in Abu Dhabi next New Year's day.
