The DP World Tour continues its Middle Eastern swing this weekend, with the Qatar Masters taking centre stage. Which players will lift the trophy in Doha on Sunday?

Haotong Li will not be back to defend his title after a one-stroke victory over Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen in 2025.

Past Major winners who will tee off on Thursday include Patrick Reed and Padraig Harrington.

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.

Patrick Reed

Patrick Reed has been back to his best on the DP World Tour this season, finishing 26th at the Dubai Invitational, winning the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, and placing T2 at the Bahrain Championship.

Other noteworthy results achieved by Reed on the LIV Golf Tour and Asian Tour last year include a T10 in Hong Kong, a 2nd at the International Series in Macau, a T7 in Miami, a 3rd at the Masters, a T4 in Korea, a victory in Dallas, a T10 in Andalucia, and a T7 in the United Kingdom.

The former Masters champion will make his debut at the Qatar Masters this weekend.

Reed is holding form since his latest triumph and can secure another DP World Tour title at the Doha Golf Club come Sunday.

Jorge Campillo

Jorge Campillo has been in decent nick on the DP World Tour this season, placing T23 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, T23 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, T19 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, and T16 at the Bahrain Championship last weekend.

Other notable results achieved by Campillo last year include a T2 at the Turkish Airlines Open, a T7 at the KLM Open, a T22 at the Genesis Scottish Open, a T21 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, a T11 at the DP World India Championship, and a T14 at the Genesis Championship.

The four-time DP World Tour winner has achieved excellent results at the Qatar Masters in his previous nine starts, placing T20 in 2016, T13 in 2017, T2 in 2019, victory in 2020, T28 in 2021, T65 in 2022, 2nd in 2023, 5th in 2024, and T50 in 2025.

Campillo has an excellent record at this event and could win his second title at the Doha Golf Club this weekend.

Julien Guerrier

Julien Guerrier has been in fine form on the DP World Tour this season, placing T6 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, MC at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, T3 at the Dubai Invitational, 3rd at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, and T24 at the Bahrain Championship last weekend.

Additional highlights achieved by Guerrier last season include a T22 at the Volvo China Open, a T24 at the Danish Golf Championship, a T8 at the Betfred British Masters, and a T16 at the Open de Espana.

The Frenchman has made four appearances at the Qatar Masters, with results of T6 in 2017, MC in 2018, T62 in 2019, T38 in 2020, T19 in 2021, MC in 2022, and 5th in 2023.

Julien Guerrier is showing signs that he is ready to win another title in Doha this weekend.

Marcus Armitage

Marcus Armitage has regained his touch on the DP World Tour this season, placing T21 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, T40 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, T15 at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius, T7 at the Dubai Invitational, and T7 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.

Other prominent performances achieved by Armitage last year include a 2nd at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship, a 5th at the Singapore Classic, a T12 at the Amgen Irish Open, a T5 at the FedEx Open de France, and a T23 at the Abu Dhabi Championship.

The 38-year-old has featured seven times at the Qatar Masters, with results of MC in 2017, T12 in 2020, T47 in 2021, T5 in 2020, MC in 2023, MC in 2024, and MC in 2025.

Armitage appears to have turned the corner and can pocket the winner's cheque in Doha come Sunday.

Verdict

Qatar Masters

Reed has been impressive of late and can win the Qatar Masters this weekend.

Campillo will fancy his chances of a victory, as he loves playing at the Doha Golf Club.

Guerrier can go all the way and win, as he has been knocking hard in recent outings.

Armitage has been performing well lately and could upstage the others in Doha this weekend.
