Soudal Open Tips

This Antwerp course is suited for straight hitters, and that could well suit Haotong Li. He hasn't reached the heights of when he was world number 32, but he has been performing well of late and could take a hand in the finish here.

Rapidly rising DP World Tour talent with a recent win (Hero Indian Open 2024) and two runner-up finishes in 2025. His ball-striking prowess is ideal for Rinkven.

Bairstow is in very good form right now with a couple of top ten finishes. On a course that is very long, it should suit him being a very straight long driver. So, it looks like a great bet to win at the price.

The Italian was 17th in his last start, which was the Turkish Airlines Open. Earlier this year, he had a tied 8th finish at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. He won the Belgian Knockout in 2019 and was 24th last year in the Soudal Open. I do think Guido Migliozzi will be one of the favorites worth backing this week.

You need to be an accurate performer here, and a steady grinder like Campillo could well be suited by that kind of test. This tidy operator has won three times, so he knows how to win.

The Scot has been 17th in the Hero Indian Open then 32nd and 33rd in the China Open and Turkish Airlines Open in his last two starts. I am tipping the three time DP World Tour winner will have a good week here and in 2019 he was third in the Belgian Knockout. My tip is Ewen Ferguson will be a challenger back in Belgium.

The Frenchman won on the Tour in Denmark last summer. Has been coming into form recently, T14 at the Hero Indian Open and T25 at the Turkish Airlines Open. Qualified for the U.S. Open on Monday, so should arrive in a positive mood and could go close.

Since the start of the year, the English golfer has four top ten finishes in the DP World Tour. He was fourth in his last start at the Turkish Airlines Open, and I do think Brandon Robinson Thompson is going to win on tour very soon. He was third in Qatar, eighth in Bahrain, and seventh in South Africa. I think the Englishman can win the Soudal Open.

The English golfer won in Mauritius at the end of last year on the DP World Tour, and in 2023 he has had some solid finishes. His best was his runner-up finish at the Kenya Open in February. 36th in Singapore, 29th in India, and 33rd in Turkey. I do think John Parry can win again on tour at an event like this Soudal Open.

Matteo Manassero was 13th last year in the Soudal Open, and I do think he will be one to watch this week in Belgium. He has made his last three cuts and is a winner again on the DP World Tour. I think the Italian can win in a weaker field like this, and Manassero is fancied for the Soudal Open.

The Dane has finished top fifteen in four of his last starts on the DP World Tour. I am tipping after a tied 12th at the Turkish Airlines Open in his last start that this Soudal Open could be a good week for the Scandinavian. My tip is with top ten finishes at the Volvo China Open and Joburg Open that Jacob Skov Olesen can challenge in Belgium.

Jacques Kruyswijk has played really well on this course in the past, and having already won an event in February, he looks like a very good bet at this price.
