The American has finished second and third around Waialae Country Club, and he certainly knows his way around this track. Chris Kirk has won The Sentry in Hawaii, and I fancy the multiple Tour winner will put together another four good rounds at the Sony Open.

10th twelve months ago on his Sony Open debut in Hawaii with four rounds of 68 or better, and I fancy Nick Dunlap will challenge this week at Waialae. The American has won the Barracuda Championship and The American Express, and I am siding with Dunlap playing his way into contention this week.

The Colombian has won the Zozo Championship and the Puerto Rico Open on the PGA Tour, and twelve months ago he was runner-up at the Sony Open in Hawaii. He was also second at the RSM Classic, and I fancy conditions will suit Nico Echavarría this week back at Waialae Country Club.

3rd in 2018 at the Sony Open in Hawaii and 12th two years later, the American has the game to contend around Waialae Country Club. A winner at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Tom Hoge has finished top five at The Sentry in Kapalua, Hawaii, and I fancy he will put a good week together at the Sony Open.

The American won twice last year on the PGA Tour at the Mexico Open and John Deere Classic. Top 20 in his last start at the Bay Hill Classic, and I fancy Brian Campbell to put four good rounds together to finish as one of the top Americans at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

25 EW
@+1100
Open
0
The defending champion was a semi-finalist just last month at the UK Championship. Earlier in the season he won the English Open and lost in the final of the Xi'an Grand Prix in China. Murphy is in the tougher half of the draw, but back at The Masters I fancy The Magician will go all the way to another final.
Zhao Xintong
50 WIN
@+500
Open
0
The world champion has two-thirds of snooker's Triple Crown, and I fancy he can join the illustrious club of those who have won all three by claiming his first Masters title. Xintong has beaten all the top names since winning at the Crucible, and with the easier-looking quarter I am siding with Zhao, building momentum to put a big week together at the Alexandra Palace in London.
14:00 Africa Cup of Nations 2025
Algeria
50 WIN
@+600
Open
0
Algeria topped their World Cup qualifying campaign with 25 points from ten games in Group G, and I fancy they will carry that form into AFCON. The 2019 Africa Cup of Nations champions have a strong squad that includes Riyad Mahrez. I am siding with the likes of Cameroon, Senegal, and Ivory Coast to be beaten, and I think Algeria can get the better of hosts Morocco to become African champions once again.

@+600
Open

Twelve goals in sixteen games this season so far for Galatasaray over in Turkey, and the striker is just as prolific for his country, Nigeria. Ten goals in the last eleven games for the national team. I fancy Victor Osimhen will fire Nigeria a long way in his AFCON and be the tournament's top scorer.

The Spaniard has been in excellent form since August when he finished 13th in the British Masters at The Belfry.

Runner-up here two years ago. The South African had another good season last year on the DP World Tour with a win at the Omega European Masters. He closed with a 64 here to push McIlroy and Fleetwood all the way, and I fancy Thriston Lawrence will start the year with a good showing in Dubai again.

Bordeaux
To Win
50 WIN
@-277
Win
18
Bordeaux are top of Group 4, and I fancy the French side will do a job in Bristol at Ashton Gate. The last two head-to-head meetings were both 36-17 in favour of the French, who beat Northampton 50-28 last weekend. I fancy Bordeaux will get the away win that qualifies them as group winners.
Bordeaux -7.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@+100

Bordeaux beat Northampton 50-28 last weekend, and I fancy they will win this top-of-the-table match. The winner qualifies as group winners on head-to-head. The last two head-to-head meetings were 36-17 in favor of the French, and I am siding with Bordeaux having too much in the end to beat Bristol by more than seven.

The American has top-5 finishes in both the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the Sony Open in Hawaii, and I fancy he will have a good week at Waialae.

Andrew Balding’s colt won a Novice Stakes at Newbury in August, and he sets the standard tonight at Southwell. I fancy the odds-on favourite will take control of this over a mile, and Venetian Prince can strike again to go back-to-back.

Leicester Tigers 21.50
Handicap
55 WIN
@-109
Win

The Tigers have got within twenty of Leinster and Stade Rochelais in this group stage, and I fancy their hard matches are out of the way now. They beat Bayonne 57-14 in their last group game, and I am siding with Leicester covering the handicap.
15:00 Chelsea v Brentford
Draw
50 WIN
@+300
Lose
-50
Three of the last four head-to-head meetings have ended in draws between Chelsea and Brentford, and I fancy the Bees will get something at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have only one win in the last five at home, and they are two points behind Brentford in the table. I am siding with an entertaining score draw this afternoon.
15:00 Leeds v Fulham
Draw
50 WIN
@+240
Lose
-50
Leeds United have won two of the last three at home to Fulham, but the three previous matches ended in draws. The Cottagers have three wins and a draw in four away. On paper, this looks like a draw at Elland Road, and I am siding with a point apiece this afternoon.
15:00 Liverpool v Burnley
Liverpool
86 WIN
@-400
Lose
-86
Burnley were beaten 3-1 on their last trip to Anfield, and they have lost six in a row against the champions. Four defeats and a draw in five away for the Clarets. I fancy Liverpool will have too much class up top to break them down and take all three points.
15:00 Sunderland v Crystal Palace
Sunderland
50 WIN
@+150
Win
75
It’s been a tough week for Crystal Palace, having gone out of the FA Cup away to Macclesfield Town. That was followed by the news that their manager Glasner will leave at the end of the season, and their captain Marc Guehi has agreed terms with Manchester City. Palace have now lost four in a row away, and I fancy this is a great chance for Sunderland to bag a home win.
15:00 Tottenham v West Ham
Tottenham
60 WIN
@-136
Lose
-60
Tottenham won 3-0 earlier this season away at the London Stadium, and I fancy they will beat the Hammers at home this afternoon to pile the pressure on their manager Nuno Espírito Santo. West Ham have lost their last two away games 3-0, and I am siding with Spurs to get a much-needed win against their London rivals.

50 WIN
@+240

-50
Hartlepool have lost three in a row at home, and Altrincham are on a run of four straight away defeats. I fancy this might not be the best fixture this weekend in the National League. Four of the seven head-to-head meetings were draws, and I am siding with a low-scoring affair that ends in a point apiece.

Draw
50 WIN
@+300

Both Manchester United and Manchester City have drawn their last three league games, and I fancy this will be a cagey derby at Old Trafford. 0-0 here last season. I am siding with a point apiece in this weekend's early kickoff.

@-109

The Bulls lost their last two away games by nine or fewer against the Stormers and Sharks, and I fancy they will give Pau a game. The hosts have lost three of six, so they are not in the best of form ahead of this European fixture. I am siding with the Bulls getting within thirteen of Section Paloise.
20:00 West Brom v Middlesbrough
Draw
50 WIN
@+240

The Baggies have won three of their last four home games, and I fancy this will be a tricky test against second-place Middlesbrough. Four straight head-to-head wins for Boro, but they have lost three in a row away. I am siding with a point apiece at The Hawthorns.
10:00 Bahrain Masters 2026
Danny Noppert
25 EW
@+1400

Stephen Bunting won the Bahrain Masters last year, and I fancy Danny Noppert can build on his second half of 2025 by going all the way to the final this weekend. The Dutchman has been consistent in the big events, and I am siding with him to win the bottom half of this draw to reach the final.
Luke Littler
55 WIN
@-109
Lose
-55
The Nuke won the Bahrain Masters two years ago, beating Michael van Gerwen in the final. Given the way he finished 2025, I fancy the back-to-back world champion will want to start the year with another title. Littler is the odds-on favourite, and I am siding with him to win a second Bahrain Masters.

Taylor Montgomery had multiple top-ten finishes last season on the PGA Tour, and he was runner-up at the Utah Championship.
