Sam Horsfield won twice on the European Tour last summer – the Hero Open and the Celtic Classic – but his attempts to complete a hat-trick this year have been scuppered largely by Friday flops. The Manchester-born, Florida-based 24-year-old is an explosive talent capable of seriously low scoring and much of his best work has […]

The 10/1 about Webb Simpson winning the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club seems a perfectly acceptable price when you consider his amazing record in the tournament. The North Carolina man, who is relishing a home-state gig this week, won his maiden PGA Tour title in the 2011 Wyndham at Sedgefield and has strongly threatened […]

Bernd Wiesberger is 14/1 favourite for the Cazoo Classic on the Heritage Course at the London Club in Kent. The Austrian giant, an eight-time European Tour champion, is hoping to win a place on Europe’s Ryder Cup team. He knows that victory in the Cazoo Open is needed to keep him in the hunt for […]

Olympic Champion Back Home After Tokyo Glory Schauffele finally got over the line in front last week, grinding a par at the 72nd hole of the Olympics men’s competition to win the gold medal by a shot, and the Californian is 14/1 for the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational this week. He has finished runner-up eight […]

Sullivan Favourite for Second Week Running Andy Sullivan failed to get into contention at the ISPS HANDA World Invitational last week, flopping as favourite and missing the second cut in the quirky Northern Ireland event, but the Englishman has assumed the role of market leader again for the Hero Open. The 16/1 against the name […]

Andy Sullivan played in the 2016 Ryder Cup and failed to register a point, so the 35-year-old Englishman would love to get another crack at representing Europe in the most prestigious team golf event on the planet. From 27th on the points list, though, Sullivan needs a serious burst of late-summer form to enter the […]

There is nothing quite like holing a monster putt on the golf course, sometimes to make eagle or on other occasions to scramble an unlikely par, and there have been some mammoth strokes made with the flat stick on the PGA Tour over the years. Before we get into the top five longest putts in […]

When Tiger Woods leaned over a short putt to win the 2019 Masters on the 18th green at Augusta, he completed one of the most celebrated comebacks in sporting history. But little did we know he would have to scale a much higher mountain within 12 months and just as we wondered whether eclipsing Jack […]

After the grandeur of the Open Championship, this week’s Cazoo Open in Wales has a slightly pared-back feeling but offers some of the European Tour’s emerging names a chance for glory. Staged on Celtic Manor’s TwentyTen course, the venue for that year’s Ryder Cup, the tournament even has a celebrity host in Gareth Bale. It’s […]

Attention in golf now turns away from the Majors towards the fight of FedEx Cup points and Ryder Cup places and Dustin Johnson is 13/2 favourite for the 3M Open in Minnesota this week. Johnson was eighth at The Open at Royal St Georges last week while his chief market rival Louis Ooosthuizen, who can […]

While the eyes of the golf world will be on Royal St George’s and the Open this week, there is also PGA Tour action for punters to get stuck into with the Barbasol Championship at Keene Trace Golf Club. First staged in 2015, this low-key ‘alternate event’ tends to attract a weak field who get […]

Daniel Berger is 9/1 favourite for the John Deere Classic, the final PGA Tour event before the Open Championship, and plenty of punters seem sure to take that price after his seventh-place finish in the US Open last time out. If Berger is completely over the rib injury which troubled him in the spring – […]

Jon Rahm is 7/1 favourite for the Scottish Open this week – and the raging bull will be heading the betting in every tournament he plays for the time being. The Spaniard has taken over at the top of the world rankings, establishing himself as the new king in spectacular fashion at Torrey Pines, and […]

Bryson DeChambeau is the only member of the world’s top eight in attendance for the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club this week – and plenty of punters will be looking at the 15/2 odds against his name and licking their lips. DeChambeau had a winning chance down the stretch of the US Open […]

A small number of spectators are being allowed into a European Tour event for the first time since the worldwide pandemic started – the Irish Open will have approximately 5,000 fans per day following the action – so the two headline acts will enjoy some enthusiastic support. Rory McIlroy, the 5/1 favourite, has jetted over […]

I am regularly asked how I train for golf and what I get up to on a daily basis. I also hear from time to time, “Golf isn’t a real sport” … so, for those of you that are curious to see what a day in the life of a professional golfer looks like, then […]
