22:45 The CJ Cup Byron Nelson
Matti Schmid
25 EW
@+5000
Lose
-50
Matti Schmid is an interesting golfer here. He is not a big-name golfer, but he does have real talent on his day. He's a good striker of the ball who is consistent with his approach shots. That tracks well when you consider this course rewards consistency in approach, plus being in tune with your putter thereafter. He's capable of footing it with these guys at his best.
Pierceson Coody
25 EW
@+3300
Lose
-50
Coody appeals as a long-shot chance. He's got a strong recent form trend going and multiple top-25 finishes. The Texan has a strong history in the region. If his putter starts running hot, then I think he's the man who can come home the best here.
16:00 Soudal Open
Ewen Ferguson
25 EW
@+2000
Lose
-50
This is a guy who lurks with intent here. He's at quite nice odds in an even field and could be underrated on this course. Ewen Ferguson has excellent recent form and lost this in a play-off last year, so he will be motivated to correct that aberration. His tee-to-green stats are good, and he's converted that to wins on this tour previously.
Grant Forrest
25 EW
@+8000
Lose
-50
Maybe there could be an element of kismet in this selection, given that he's named Forrest (and he's no Gump, you understand, even though it's spelled the same). He's playing on holes that are tree-lined in places. You'd think, at least by names, it might be a match made in heaven. All the same, in this field he'll need to have his eye really primed in the tree-lined sections, as they can be very costly if you can't hit a ball straight. Thankfully, most of the time he can, but we all have our off days. If Grant is having one of his "on" days, then I think he's a live longshot. It is golf after all, and anything is possible when small balls are being smacked around at great speed while trying to avoid trees seemingly standing in their way just for the hell of it. "Hit it straight and find your open gate" should be the motto for this course. Grant has a 10th and 16th in recent events, but I think he's better than that, and I consider him an 'upside at the odds' chance.
Matthew Jordan
25 EW
@+4000
Lose
-50
Jordan could be a 'smoky' in a field as open as this one and with so much potentially hidden talent. The course demands controlled tee-to-green play, consistency, smart scoring on the short par 4s, and avoiding mistakes on those tight, tree-lined holes, as they can cost you a lot of places if you get it wrong here. Consistent type in recent years, and I like him as an under-discovered value for a golfer who has made the top 10 here previously.
Oliver Lindell
25 EW
@+2200
Lose
-50
Lindell will come in for some support here, as this short, tight, tree-lined course favors precision over power, and he sits nicely on both scores. He can be inconsistent late, but if he puts it all together on the day, he could be a real threat to the leading lights. He's my improver here because this is a tricky course but has room for hot players who score a birdie or two to really get rolling once they get their eye in for the layout.
Sam Bairstow
50 WIN
@+5000
Lose
-50
Yes, Sam Bairstow doesn't win out of turn but is a generally consistent golfer who has been off the boil from time to time and can be hard to follow. Equally, he is one of those talented and under-rated individuals who could come to light on a course such as this one at Rinkven.

16:45 Trophy Hassan II
Stephen Ames
25 EW
@+2000
Lose
-50
This could well pan out to be the battle of the Steves, or maybe even those with the initials SA. One starts favourite (Alker), while I consider the 20/1 quite good value for a golfer as accomplished as the 2023 winner. The old adage "horses for courses" could well apply here. He has been a consistent performer on the Champions Tour, and on his best day he'd give this lot a shake.
Steven Alker
25 EW
@+550
Win
9
Kiwi (New Zealander) Steve Alker is likely to start favorite, and that's probably indicative of his great recent form on this tour. He's hitting the ball so well and led this tournament through 36 holes last year. He will be very well motivated.
Thongchai Jaidee
25 EW
@+2200
Lose
-50
You're getting 22/1 for an accomplished golfer on courses that have this type of layout. Royal Golf Dar es Salam (Red Course) is a tree-lined, strategic course that punishes loose driving, and Jaidee has accuracy and consistency in spades. He is very good off the tee, excels in grinding conditions (weather events), and his strong iron play combined with his accuracy lean me towards him appealing as an each-way chance in a field as open as this one. He's a good fit for this course layout, so each-way all day for me at this type of price.

22:45 Kroger Queen City Championship
Auston Kim
25 EW
@+4000
Lose
-50
Auston Kim is a player with an aggressive approach to her golf, and she has had some impressive flashes of form this season, including leading stretches in Singapore. The Kroger course is birdie-heavy, and that will suit her accuracy.
Haeran Ryu
50 WIN
@+2000
Lose
-50
Haeran Ryu’s elite ball??'striking, recent top??'10 momentum, and proven ability to close out tournaments when near the front make her a strong contender for honours in the Kroger Championship.
Julia Lopez Ramirez
25 EW
@+15000
Lose
-50
The Spanish rookie would be a major upsetter in a tournament like this. She has shown flashes of form more recently and was 14 under the card at the Ford tournament, suggesting the promising golfer might eventually measure up among this lot with a bit more game time. She is a possible dark horse here, as her length off the tee matches most of the much more fancied contenders. With some improvement on the greens, she could offer sneaky upside in Kroger conditions.
Lottie Woad
25 EW
@+3300
Win
1031
The English amateur star had a world-class résumé before turning pro and has proven composure in the big time, making her an upset chance in an even field at the Kroger despite limited LPGA representation.
Lydia Ko
25 EW
@+2500
Lose
-50
The Korean??"Kiwi golfer has been just off the boil in recent matches, but she is always a danger on a course such as this. I think she can bounce back to be Queen Bee once again in this one.
22:45 PGA Championship
Brooks Koepka
25 EW
@+3300
Lose
-50
Brooks Koepka is good off the tee and is sound on the green as a rule. Both qualities could put him in real contention here at the business end of proceedings.
Bryson DeChambeau
50 WIN
@+2000
Lose
-50
I think he can lead throughout, as his consistency is one of the hallmarks of his game. He always seems to turn up at this tournament, and this could be a peak performance with a barrier-to-box effort.
Justin Thomas
25 EW
@+4000
Win
175
Justin Thomas is a very underrated golfer who can sneak up on the leaderboard without anyone really noticing. I think he'll put in another solid effort on a course that should suit his style.
Aaron Rai
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@+8000
Lose
-50
Aaron Rai thrives on accuracy-heavy layouts, ranks strongly in early-round scoring averages, and will carry a good measure of confidence into this as a result of his Abu Dhabi Championship victory.
Bryson DeChambeau
1st Round Leader
50 WIN
@+2800

-50
Can be quick out of the blocks, our Bryson, and he is always a threat in the majors when he finds his best form. I like his consistency around the greens.
Corey Conners
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@+8000
Lose
-50
Corey Conners arrives with elite ball-striking numbers, strong Sawgrass history, and recent fast starts, including a 67 during the 2026 Players' opening rounds.
Nicolai Hojgaard
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@+5000
Lose
-50
Nicolai Højgaard is an underrated European contender who plays a solid game and has been in consistent touch recently. He tends to be an aggressive player, and his scoring style looks best suited to fast Sawgrass starts.
Bryson DeChambeau
Top American
50 WIN
@+1200
Lose
-50
DeChambeau is a solid golfer on most courses, but he's a horses-for-courses number at this one in particular. He was runner-up here a couple of years back, and that's good enough to go one better if he can reproduce that form.
18:10 PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy
Top European
50 WIN

McIlroy was sublime at the Masters in completing the double. Playing with the present confidence off the back of that, he should be home here too.

McIlroy is the favourite here, and there's no surprise there. With his current touch and growing confidence in his game, he certainly looks like the one to master things here.

The thing I like about this mare is that once she hits winning form, as she did last time out, she usually holds it. Yes, this is a tougher assignment, but she gets a nice allowance for an above-average apprentice who knows this horse very well and has a great record on her. Goldie, the trainer, is very underrated by many punters too. One for the upset from down in the weights.

Outsider of the field in this, but better than that. The further they go, the better he likes it, and he stays better than most here, as a general rule. He also doesn't mind a heavy track, as he has proved adept in the deepest of ground previously. The rider has only been on once previously and finished a useful fourth that day. The smoky.
Kivala Du Berlais
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+550
Lose
-50
Kivala De Berlais will be handled by a good big-jumps jockey in Giles and comes from a yard where they know how to prepare chasers. Handled patiently, he now gets his chance at the big time. He looks well in at the weights, and though this is his longest trip, he looked good winning at 22 furlongs last time out. With the weight, he should get the extra distance.

I can see this one ending in a draw because their head-to-head trend is usually tight-margin games with low scoring, and their head space might be such that both teams could be happy with a draw. This could be quite defensive once they get to that stage.

Brage may look as if they have the home-side advantage here, but they have lost more times to the visitors than they've won at home, so that's a question mark. I like the odds for a turnaround after a good start by the home side.

This looks like a strong mathematical probability given that both teams have a low scoring average of less than 1 in their last 10 matches. The home side haven't scored in half of their last 10 when playing at home. Both teams have had a 70% record of being involved in under-2.5-goals games in their last 10 matches apiece. That's no guarantee, but it's a strong stat to consider all the same.

They've had a couple of 2-1 games recently, but I think that could change here. The home side are coming off two draws and may play defensively, whereas their rivals are on a winning streak and might be willing to take more risks. That could result in a bit of a stalemate for scoring.

Radomiak Radom to score one and then shut up shop and defend the scoreline, as they are the underdogs here even though they are the form team in reality. The supposed home advantage to Kraków I feel is somewhat tenuous given they've only won two of their last 10 matches at home.
