22:45 American Family Insurance Championship
Alker/Langer
50 WIN
@+900
Lose
-50
Langer and Alker are both as solid as a rock. Their all-round experience and patience could be right to the fore in this unusual tournament with 38 pairs, bringing an interesting dimension to betting and plenty of scope for a surprise.
Allen/Daly
25 EW
@+25000
Lose
-50
Talk about long shots ??" this would be one of the biggest upsets in golf in the last 10 years if they got the chocolates. But in a format as open as this one, there’s some reason to take these odds on an each-way basis. Yes, Daly has largely been missing from top-flight golf for a good while, but he hits the ball like Mike Tyson delivered a left hook, and that high-variance power and streaky putting suit scramble formats, while Michael Allen offers all-round steadiness. If Daly catches a hot week, this duo has genuine surprise-winning upside.
Clarke/Crane
25 EW
@+1400
Win
437
The Clarke and Crane combination is a new one, and they could fire first-up in this tourny. Darren Clarke is the defending champion, and with proven success in this format and his course knowledge, he will be a great asset to himself and Ben Crane, whose steady ball??'striking should complement Clarke for a low-scoring performance.
Goosen/Van Pelt
25 EW
@+1400
Lose
-50
These two are consistent grinders who could make an excellent combination. Retief brings world-class precision and major-winning composure, while Van Pelt adds scoring upside. They look to provide a perfect balance of capable rounds and bursts of birdies across both formats.
Jimenez/Olazabal
25 EW
@+5000
Lose
-50
You want aggressive scorers plus strong pairing chemistry in a tournament like this. The birdie-makers are the key. Ryder Cup team experience is a real edge, which is why I fancy the chances of the Miguel Jiménez and José María Olazábal pairing. They have proven team chemistry from European Ryder Cup history, combining creativity and short-game excellence. Jiménez’s recent Champions Tour form and Olazábal’s experience suit low-scoring formats perfectly here.
22:45 US Womens Open
A Lim Kim
25 EW
@+6600
Lose
-50
A Lim Kim is a former U.S. Women’s Open champion with multiple past top-level finishes. Her proven ability in extreme setups and tendency to peak unexpectedly make her a classic contender for an upset.
Angel Yin
25 EW
@+4000
Lose
-50
Angel Yin was a top-10 finisher last year and is a golfer who looks to be on an upward trajectory in the majors. She is a powerful ball-striker, and that should suit a course with long layouts. She will have gained confidence from recent contention boosts and looms as a genuine upset prospect.
Linn Grant
25 EW
@+10000
Lose
-50
Linn Grant was in the top-10 finishers at the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open, showing major temperament. Her strong tee-to-green game suits demanding setups, and improving consistency suggests she is ready to convert elite contention into a breakthrough victory.
Lydia Ko
50 WIN
@+2000
Lose
-50
Lydia Ko may slip under the guard of many here. She has looked close to winning form at times recently and is class personified on her day. This could, with an ounce of luck on the putting green, well be one of the New Zealand golfer's biggest days.
Rio Takeda
25 EW
@+3300
Lose
-50
Japanese golfer Rio Takeda appeals as a longer-odds chance here after Linn Grant. Japanese golfer Rio Takeda looms as a possible upsetter in an open field, given that she was runner-up last year and that course knowledge is paramount with the testing layout. She displays elite tee-to-green play and composure under pressure, and those qualities make her dangerous despite limited hype around her prospects this year. Potentially she may be the dark horse in this field.
15:45 KLM Open
Bernd Wiesberger
25 EW
@+4000
Lose
-50
Bernd Wiesberger is a likely long shot in a very open lineup. The Volvo China Open winner arrives after a fourth place in Austria, plus two 13th-place finishes. He also has course knowledge, with two outings producing a 7th as his best finish.
Ewen Ferguson
50 WIN
@+2500
Lose
-50
Ewen Ferguson, a three-time DP World Tour winner, has KLM figures of T8, T27, and T4 and arrives off a top-four finish in Turkey. Good enough form to suggest he is ready to take the next step up to victory.
Francesco Molinari
25 EW
@+5000
Lose
-50
Francesco Molinara is a good striker of the ball and a good, generally consistent player who could shock a field like this if he has a hot run of play. An underrated golfer who should find this course layout to his liking.
Joakim Lagergren
25 EW
@+8000
Lose
-50
Lagergren strikes me as the best option for course-plus-price blend in an open field. He strikes me as the likely 'bomber' here because he has a fine international record and is a strong golfer who could be long-shot value at 80/1 or better. He's comfortable at this venue after finishing second in 2025 and seventh in 2019. He needs to improve on his recent patchy form, but maybe the familiarity he'll feel in Amsterdam might help turn that around after a recent 17th placing.
Jorge Campillo
25 EW
@+4000
Lose
-50
Jorge Campillo could upset in Amsterdam at 40/1. I think he represents upset value. He's been twice a runner-up this season and tied second in Austria last week. Campillo also finished seventh here in 2025, giving him both current and course credentials.

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.

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

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

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

@+8000

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
