Turkish Airlines Open: DP World Tour Fantasy Ones to Watch

The Asian Swing comes to a climax this week at the Turkish Airlines Open and here is all that players of the DP World Tour's official fantasy game need to know.

After two visits to China and one to India, this is the fourth of four counting events on the third of five Global Swings on the 2026 Race to Dubai schedule.

DP World Tour members who finish in positions one to three only in the final Asian Swing Rankings will be exempt into the 2026 U.S. PGA Championship at Aronimink GC.

Asian Swing leader Jordan Gumberg tees it up, with Bernd Wiesberger tied for second after his return to the DP World Tour winner's circle last week in China.

There are seven winners so far this season among the 156-players teeing it up, including the returning Jayden Schaper from South Africa, who at third is the highest ranked player in the Race to Dubai standings in the field following his back-to-back wins at the tail end of 2025.

From insight into the week’s most-picked players among Fantasy managers, to our ones to watch, we run the rule ahead of Thursday’s deadline to pick your team.

Who are the most backed players?

David Puig, a winner at the season-opening BMW Australian PGA Championship in November, is at a career-high 61st in the Official World Golf Ranking and he is our most picked player this week, featuring in 50% of teams so far.

Tom McKibbin of Northern Ireland is second on 37%, with South African pair Hennie du Plessis and Jayden Schaper third and fourth before Jacob Skov Olesen rounds out the top five.

Who are our ones to watch?

Here, we pick out three players in action this week who are worth considering for your Fantasy team selections.

Favourite – David Puig

It is perhaps no surprise that the highest-ranked player in the field this week is both the favourite with the bookmakers and most-picked in our teams. Since starting the season in sensational style with a win at the BMW Australian PGA Championship, he also finished third at the Dubai Invitational and seventh on his Rolex Series debut at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. The Spaniard may have missed the cut last time out on the DP World Tour at the Hero Indian Open but he has also thrown in some impressive worldwide performances and could well be the man to beat this week.

Form Horse – Hennie du Plessis

If we continue with our Form Horse analogy, there are some who would argue Du Plessis is under-raced but the break he has taken since the Joburg Open could well do him good. He returned from 18 months out with a wrist injury and subsequent rehab issues – during which time he also became a father – with a win last October on the Sunshine Tour and since then has not missed a cut. In 2026, his worst finish in six starts is a tie for 19th and he finished the International Swing with three consecutive top fives.

Wild Card – Andrew Johnston

The Englishman spoke last week of adopting a change in attitude, focusing on being relaxed rather than stressing about what might be. In what was just his seventh start on the DP World Tour since the 2024 BMW PGA Championship, the 37-year-old finished in a tie for 25th – his best result since the Omega European Masters in 2024. A decade on from winning his first – and only DP World Tour title to date – it may be a long shot to expect him to mount a title challenge in Türkiye, but there have been greater surprises. With a new outlook, and the days of arduous rehabilitation behind him, few would begrudge him a period of settled form.

Looking back - Volvo China Open

Bernd Wiesberger may have won twice on the Rolex Series, but having not won the DP World Tour since 2021, he proved a surprise winner at Enhance Anting Golf Club. However, the 439 players - equating to 1.63% of those who picked a team - who chose him were rewarded them with 216 points. The Austrian was captained by 263 players. Well done to those of you!

While our Favourite, Daniel Hillier, missed the cut, Form Horse Adrian Otaegui finished runner-up, with Wild Card Yanhan Zhou in a tie for 52nd at his national open.
