Blues

To Win

50 WIN

@-303

Win

I favour the Blues here. The Force were blown away 56??"24 by the Brumbies in Round 1, fading badly in the heat and showing issues in defence and discipline that won’t be fixed overnight. The Blues, by contrast, are recent Super Rugby champions (2024) and bring a huge, athletic pack plus a backline that can punish any missed tackle or soft exit. They’ll be very motivated in this showcase game at Joondalup. If the Force can’t dominate the collisions and slow the Blues’ ball, the visitors’ physicality and accuracy should translate into a comfortable win.

Chiefs

@-303

Win

This is close, but I slightly lean to the Chiefs. The Highlanders are buzzing after their 25??"23 upset of the Crusaders in Round 1, which showed big improvement in composure and defence under Jamie Joseph. The Chiefs, though, come in fresh from a bye with one of the most balanced squads in the competition, a powerful pack, and game-breaking backs like their All Blacks??"laden backline. Under the roof in Dunedin, the game should be fast. In that kind of high-tempo shootout, the Chiefs’ greater attacking depth gives them a tiny edge, even away from home.

21:30 Mike De Decker vs Marvin Kraft

Mike De Decker

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-303

Win

De Decker is the rightful favourite here. He’s been climbing the rankings with solid ProTour performances and regular EuroTour qualifications, and his scoring power has noticeably improved over the last couple of years. Kraft has done very well just to qualify and will treat this as a free swing, but he’s stepping up against a player who is now used to this stage level. Over a race to six legs, De Decker’s higher floor and greater experience should carry him over the line.

20:00 Biarritz v Vannes

Vannes

To Win

50 WIN

@-188

Win

Here I clearly lean RC Vannes. They’re top of the table with 16 wins from 20 and a huge positive points difference, and they’ve just kept Carcassonne scoreless in their last outing, underlining how solid their defence is. Biarritz are hovering just above the relegation scrap with a negative points difference and have been inconsistent, especially against the league’s best sides. Even away at Aguiléra, Vannes’ structured attack and strong defence make them deserved favourites.

20:00 Dirk van Duijvenbode vs Adam Gawlas

Dirk van Duijvenbode

Win Match 2-way

@-175

-50

I lean toward Dirk van Duijvenbode. When healthy and focused, he’s an absolute scoring machine, capable of reeling off legs in 12??"15 darts and suffocating opponents under relentless 140s. Gawlas is talented and still developing, but his results at this level have been inconsistent, and he can be vulnerable if dragged into a pacey game. Provided Dirk keeps his composure and doesn’t let missed doubles spiral, his raw firepower gives him the edge.

19:30 Krzysztof Ratajski vs Mickey Mansell

Krzysztof Ratajski

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-188

Win

Ratajski is the natural pick, especially on Polish soil. He’s been the standard-bearer for Polish darts for years, a former top-16 player with multiple EuroTour deep runs, and the crowd will give him a huge lift. Mansell is gritty and can drag matches into a scrappy doubling contest, but his scoring ceiling is lower and he rarely dominates on the treble like Ratajski can. If Krzysztof handles the pressure of playing at home, his superior class should show over six legs.

19:00 Damon Heta vs Connor Scutt

Damon Heta

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-136

Lose

-50

I favour Damon Heta fairly clearly. He’s one of the most solid all-round players on the circuit right now, combining strong 180 numbers with good finishing and a calm stage presence. He’s been a regular in EuroTour final sessions. Scutt is a live underdog who’s steadily improving and can post good floor averages, but he’s not yet as battle-hardened in these EuroTour environments. If Heta plays anywhere near his typical level, he should control the scoring phases and win by a couple of legs.

18:30 Aurillac v Soyaux Angouleme

Aurillac

To Win

50 WIN

@-400

Win

I’ll go with Aurillac at home. Soyaux-Angoulême are a bit higher in the table, but both sides sit in that crowded middle cluster, and Aurillac’s home form at Jean-Alric is usually what keeps them safe every season. Soyaux have the worst points difference among the mid-table sides and can leak tries when put under sustained pressure. In a tight, relegation-zone??"style battle, I trust Aurillac’s energy and forward pack at home to nick it.

18:30 Dax v Provence

Provence

To Win

50 WIN

@-124

Lose

-50

This one is trickier, but I still lean Provence Rugby. They’re firmly in the playoff spots with 14 wins and a big positive points difference, while Dax are lower down despite an interesting stat line (more or less mid-table on points but with a small positive scoring differential). Dax at Maurice Boyau are always stubborn and have just beaten Aurillac, so they can definitely push this close. Over 80 minutes, though, Provence’s deeper squad and more powerful attack give them a slight edge, even away.

18:00 Agen v Valence Romans

Valence Romans 8.50

50 WIN

@-109

Lose

-50

I slightly favour Valence Romans even away from home. They’re up in the top four with 14 wins from 20 and a positive points difference, while Agen sit in mid-table with 9 wins and a much thinner margin on the scoreboard. Valence have been very efficient in tight matches and have already shown they can win on the road against comparable opposition. If they handle the physical battle up front at Armandie, their more consistent attack should just edge it.

18:00 Sebastian Korda vs Casper Ruud

Casper Ruud

Win Match

50 WIN

@-109

Lose

-50

This one is tight, but I slightly lean towards Casper Ruud. The head-to-head is basically even, and both have had decent recent results, but Ruud has put together more consistent seasons overall, with deeper runs at big events and a very reliable baseline level. Korda’s flatter, more aggressive game is dangerous on a court like Delray’s and he’s already shown strong form this week, so he absolutely has upset potential if he serves well and red-lines off the ground. Over the course of a best-of-three, though, Ruud’s discipline, physicality, and higher average level point-to-point give him a small edge, especially if this turns into a longer, more physical match.

18:00 Wessel Nijman vs Thomas Lovely

Wessel Nijman

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-499

Win

I like Wessel Nijman in this one. He’s been in excellent form on the ProTour, already winning a Players Championship this season and showing he can average around the ton regularly. Lovely had a big moment with his recent upset win over Peter Wright and is clearly improving, but he’s still a step behind Nijman in terms of consistency and big-match experience. If Wessel finds his usual scoring gear, his heavier scoring and growing confidence should get the job done.

17:15 5:15 Dundalk

Eclat

Daily Racing

@+187

Lose

-50

This looks a nice opportunity for Eclat. She ran a very solid race on debut over this same course and distance, finishing third in a decent fillies’ maiden and shaping as though she’d improve plenty for the experience. Her pedigree (by Kingman for Juddmonte) and the booking of Colin Keane point to upside, whereas market leader Astronomically keeps finding one too good and is becoming a bit expensive to follow despite her series of seconds here. With natural progression from that debut run, Eclat has a good chance to step forward and get off the mark.

16:13 4:10 Dundalk

Go Out

Daily Racing

@+120

Lose

-50

In this 7f maiden I slightly prefer Go Out. He’s the top-rated horse in the field and comes back into maiden company after two good second places in competitive handicaps over this track, showing he handles the surface and can finish off strongly. His recent runs suggest he doesn’t need to improve much, if at all, to win a race of this nature. Je Suis Célèbre and Land of the Giants are live dangers, but Go Out’s consistent Dundalk form and return to this easier level swing it his way.

15:40 3:40 Dundalk

Sir Les Patterson

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@+100

Open

I like Sir Les Patterson here. He’s a high-class sprinter for this grade, coming in off a dominant course-and-distance win in November and another strong 6f effort here before that, so we know he’s very effective on this Polytrack and at this trip. The handicapper has nudged him up, but his recent ratings suggest he’s still well capable of defying the rise in this smaller field. Main dangers for me are Little Queenie and Apache Outlaw, but Sir Les Patterson’s proven C&D class and recent form make him the one to beat.

15:30 Dave Chisnall vs Darryl Pilgrim

Dave Chisnall

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-124

Lose

-50

Chisnall is one of the best European Tour players of the last decade and has multiple ET titles, so he starts as a heavy favourite. His scoring power??"especially the barrage of 180s??"can simply blow qualifiers away if his doubles are even average. Pilgrim is no mug and has earned his way here, but he’ll almost certainly need his very top level and a poor day from Chizzy to nick this. Over a short format, the upset is possible, but the most likely scenario is Chisnall dominating the scoring and winning comfortably.

15:00 Elina Svitolina vs Coco Gauff

Coco Gauff

Win Match

50 WIN

@-136

Lose

-50

I slightly favour Coco Gauff. She’s been rolling this week, crushing Eala in the quarters and generally serving very well while dictating with her forehand whenever she gets a short ball. Svitolina’s counterpunching, court coverage, and experience in big matches always make her a tough out, but she’s been playing longer, more physical matches and is more reliant on drawing errors rather than hitting through Gauff. Over two or three sets in these medium-fast conditions, Gauff’s superior serve plus more explosive baseline power give her a few more ways to win.

15:00 Jermaine Wattimena vs Miroslaw Grudziecki

Jermaine Wattimena

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-999

Win

Wattimena should be a sizeable favorite. He’s a long-time ProTour regular with a fast, high-tempo style, lots of European Tour mileage, and a strong record against qualifiers. Grudziecki, as a Polish qualifier, will feed off the home crowd and can absolutely hit a purple patch, but he doesn’t yet have the same depth of experience in these races to six. If Jermaine keeps the pressure on with his rapid 60s and 140s, the difference in level should show.

14:30 Andrew Gilding vs Jeffrey De Graaf

Andrew Gilding

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-136

Win

Gilding has the edge thanks to his higher peak and recent major pedigree. He’s a former European champion and still posts very solid ProTour numbers, with that methodical, heavy-scoring style that suits best-of-11 legs. De Graaf has plenty of experience and can absolutely produce 100+ legs, but his results at this level have been more inconsistent. Over six winning legs, I trust Gilding’s temperament and mid-to-high-90 average more often than not.

13:30 Luke Woodhouse vs Carl Sneyd

Luke Woodhouse

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-303

Win

Woodhouse is the clear favourite on paper. He’s had multiple good runs on the EuroTour and ProTour and has tightened up both his scoring and his doubles over the last couple of seasons. Sneyd comes in from the Tour Card qualifier and is still relatively untested on big PDC stages, which can show up in the first couple of legs. If Woodhouse starts well and doesn’t let the crowd swing it, his higher average level should carry him.

13:00 Jessica Pegula vs Amanda Anisimova

Jessica Pegula

Win Match

50 WIN

@-153

Win

This feels tight, but I lean Jessica Pegula. Anisimova has been excellent, taking out defending champion Mirra Andreeva with aggressive first-strike tennis. At her best, she can absolutely hit Pegula off the court in patches. Pegula, though, is one of the most solid hard-court players on tour, returning extremely well and making very few unforced errors, which tends to expose any dips in Anisimova’s shot selection or consistency. In a pressure semi-final, I trust Pegula’s steadier baseline level and better decision-making on big points just a bit more, even if she has to ride out some hot streaks from Anisimova.

08:35 Waratahs v Fijian Drua

Waratahs

To Win

50 WIN

@-588

Win

I clearly favour the Waratahs. They just smashed the Reds 36??"12 in Round 1, showing a very sharp attack and strong second-half fitness, and they sit top of the early table because of that performance. The Drua are always dangerous with broken-field running and can strike from anywhere, but historically they’ve been less effective away from Fiji and can concede a lot of penalties and metres when put under set-piece pressure. With form, confidence, and home advantage on their side, the Tahs look more likely to control this over 80 minutes.

06:05 Hurricanes v Moana Pasifika

Hurricanes

To Win

50 WIN

@-1999

Win

I lean towards the Hurricanes at home. They’re fresh after a bye and have a backline stacked with pace and creativity, which usually thrives on the fast track in Wellington. Moana Pasifika come in with confidence after an opening-round win and bring plenty of physicality, but they’ve generally struggled to sustain 80-minute performances away from home in past seasons. Over time, the Canes’ superior depth and kicking game should tilt territory and possession enough for a home win.

01:00 Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Jodar

Taylor Fritz

Win Match

50 WIN

@-333

Win

I favour Taylor Fritz here. He’s the top seed in Delray and a two-time defending champion at this tournament, with a big serve and heavy first-strike tennis that works perfectly on these quick outdoor U.S. hard courts. Jódar comes in on a high after earning his first ATP main-draw win and has been excellent lately against Americans, but this is a big step up in class against a Top-10 player who knows this event inside out. Unless Fritz has a real off day on serve, his firepower and experience in these conditions should carry him in straight sets, though Jódar has enough confidence to keep parts of the match close.

I lean toward Gerwyn Price in the all??'Welsh clash. He’s just won Night 2 in Antwerp, beating Van Veen, Clayton and then Van Gerwen in the final, and is also coming off a ProTour run that included a 117 average in a 6??"0 win over Van Gerwen ??" serious form. Their recent head-to-head has been very lopsided in Price’s favour, with ten straight wins over Clayton, including another tight 6??"5 in last week’s semi-final. Clayton is playing well enough to push this close again, but right now Price looks that bit stronger in the big moments.

20:00 Real Madrid vs Unicaja Malaga

Real Madrid

Money Line

50 WIN

@-303

Win

I slightly favor Real Madrid. They come in as Liga Endesa leaders with the deepest roster in Spain, and their size inside (Tavares, Poirier), plus versatile wings like Deck and Hezonja, tend to cause Unicaja real problems over 40 minutes. Unicaja are the reigning Copa champions and extremely dangerous in a one-off, but they arrive with some minor injury doubts and the pressure of repeating last year’s miracle run. Madrid’s recent form and experience in do-or-die games give them more ways to win. In a neutral-court setting like the Roig Arena, I’d expect Unicaja to compete hard for three quarters, but Madrid’s depth and rebounding edge to tilt it late.

19:45 Luke Humphries vs Josh Rock

Luke Humphries

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-188

Win

Here I clearly lean towards Luke Humphries. Even though he sits outside the top four after two nights, he actually has the highest three-dart average in the league so far (just over 101), which suggests the underlying level is still very strong. Rock is 0??"2 in his first Premier League campaign and comes off a rough 6??"2 loss to Van Gerwen in Antwerp, averaging under 80 and later apologizing to fans while mentioning grip issues. If Humphries keeps up his current scoring power and tidies the doubles, his experience and form should be too much over best-of-11 legs.

19:15 Stephen Bunting vs Gian van Veen

Gian van Veen

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@-227

Win

I slightly favor Gian van Veen. He’s already made a big mark this season with a run to the Night 1 final in Newcastle, showing he can produce high scoring and handle the Premier League stage. Bunting, by contrast, has lost both his opening quarter-finals and hasn’t really found his scoring rhythm under this format. Over a race to six legs, van Veen’s heavier scoring phase and recent confidence edge make him the more likely winner.

In the maiden hurdle, Rusty Harkness looks the one to beat. He took a big step forward when a staying-on third in a competitive Leopardstown maiden hurdle over 2m 5f, suggesting this longer 2m 7f trip will play to his strengths. A first-time hood may help him settle and finish off his race even better. Coming from the Henry de Bromhead yard, he’s open to more improvement than most in this line-up, with Haveanothertry and Barnahash Mason looking the main dangers rather than standouts.

Here I slightly prefer Open Secret over the favourite. He was an emphatic winner of a Naas novice hurdle on heavy ground and then backed that up with a very respectable fourth in a strong 2½m Grade 2 at Cheltenham, which is arguably the best piece of recent form in this small field. The step back into a four-runner Grade 3 should let his cruising speed and stamina really count, and getting 6 lb from Timeless Treaty could be decisive in a tactical race.

I’ll side with Karia Des Blaises to win this mares’ novice chase. She’s been running consistently well in good company, including a solid sequence of placed efforts in graded chases, and was travelling strongly when falling late on her reappearance at Limerick, which suggests there’s more to come if she jumps round cleanly. The 2m5f trip on soft-to-heavy ground looks ideal given her proven stamina, and the Willie Mullins/Paul Townend combination has an excellent record with this type at Thurles.

12:00 Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Andrey Rublev

Andrey Rublev

Win Match

50 WIN

@-136

Win

I’ll go with Andrey Rublev, but it’s a genuine coin flip. The head-to-head is very close, with Tsitsipas historically holding a small edge. Rublev has been especially good in Doha, winning the title here in the past and generally thriving in these medium-fast hard-court conditions. Tsitsipas has shown flashes of his peak recently but has also had patches of inconsistency and lapses on return, which are dangerous against Rublev’s heavy first serve and relentless forehand. If Rublev keeps his unforced errors under control and maintains his usual baseline intensity, his comfort in Doha and slightly better current momentum tilt this toward him in two tight sets or a three-set battle.

This one is much closer than the table suggests, but I slightly lean Gran Canaria. They are solid at home, yet they’ve been quite up-and-down lately, mixing good EuroCup wins with some heavy league losses in Las Palmas. Gran Canaria’s guard line is in a good rhythm, and they’ve been closing tight games well away from home, which matters in a likely two-possession match. If they can keep Bilbao off the offensive glass and control tempo in the half-court, they will have a small edge.

Here I prefer How's Hannah. She bolted up in a bumper here last month on soft to heavy ground, winning by a wide margin and proving she relishes a strong gallop and deep ground. Before that she'd already shown plenty in points, and the Willie Mullins team are clearly thinking she's above average for this type of mares' race. Even with a winners' penalty, her proven class and course form give her the edge over Torpille Dagrostis, who looks the main danger after a good second over hurdles.

I’ll side with Newbrook Diamond in a good maiden. He’s already put together a series of solid placed efforts in strong Naas and Punchestown maidens, and he has a point-to-point win over chief rival Court Compliance, which suggests he has the raw ability to finish the job today. Heavy/soft ground and this sort of trip look ideal given his staying style and previous runs. If he reproduces his best Naas form and jumps fluently, he can reverse recent blips and finally get his head in front

Andrey Rublev

I favour Rublev, but with some respect for the upset risk. Marozsán has already shown he can trouble elite players with his easy power and disguised drop shots, and in short bursts he can absolutely take a set if Rublev’s forehand timing deserts him. Over a full best-of-three, indoors-like hard court, though, Rublev’s heavier serve, brutal inside-out forehand, and higher baseline tempo usually wear opponents down. If he keeps his unforced errors reasonable and stays patient against Marozsán’s variety, his weight of shot and experience in big matches should be enough.

He was a strong second over course and distance on heavy ground last time, pulling well clear of the rest and showing he handles testing conditions really well. Gordon Elliott keeps him at the same track and trip, and with Jack Kennedy back on, he looks set to improve again. The market also respects him, and his point/maiden-hurdle profile screams “ready to win a race like this.”

I lean clearly toward Medvedev. Head-to-head, he’s dominated this rivalry on hard courts. His flat backhand, deep return position, and ability to absorb pace have repeatedly exposed Tsitsipas’s backhand and shot selection under pressure. Doha’s conditions suit Medvedev’s counter-punching and long, physical rallies more than they help Stefanos, whose best tennis tends to come when he’s dictating with the forehand on quicker courts or clay. Unless Medvedev has an off day on serve or mentally switches off, his superior consistency and tactical matchup edge should carry him over three sets.

Here I strongly lean to Medvedev. Shang is a very talented young left-hander with good feel and movement, and he’s already shown he can trouble higher-ranked players in patches. Medvedev, though, is one of the best hard-court players in the world, with an elite return game, incredible defence and a very effective flat backhand that punishes shorter balls. Unless his level drops significantly or he has physical issues, his experience and tactical discipline should be too much for Shang over best-of-three.

15:00 Jaqueline Cristian vs Victoria Mboko

Victoria Mboko

I lean toward Mboko as the seeded player and rising prospect. She’s shown in recent months that she can compete with top-50-level opponents, mixing aggressive baseline hitting with a pretty reliable serve for her age. Cristian is experienced and tough and can punish short balls, but her hard-court results have generally been more modest in top-tier draws. If Mboko handles the occasion well and keeps playing assertive tennis, she has the tools to edge this in a tight match.

14:00 Arthur Fils vs Kamil Majchrzak

Arthur Fils

I favour Fils fairly clearly. He’s already established himself as a top-level hard-court player with a big forehand, strong serve, and a lot of athleticism. He tends to thrive in quicker, attacking conditions like Doha. Majchrzak has experience and can be solid from the back, but after his time away from the main tour he’s still rebuilding his ranking and match rhythm. If Fils stays disciplined and doesn’t force too much, his raw power and confidence should see him through.

Zakharova has good feel and can be tricky when she finds rhythm, but she’s been more at home on clay and in smaller events. If Uchijima keeps her first-serve percentage high and takes control of the rallies early, she should edge this in two tight sets.

For the outright winner, I’ll go with the obvious but logical choice: Scottie Scheffler. He arrives as the clear betting favourite, already in form after winning the American Express and finishing near the top in Phoenix in his first two starts of the year. Pebble sets up perfectly for his elite tee-to-green game. He can separate with approach play and still cash plenty of birdie chances on receptive greens. In a Signature Event with an all-star field, his combination of consistency, current form, and course fit gives him more paths to the trophy than anyone else.

I’ll take Maverick McNealy as a speculative 1st-round leader. He has a long track record of playing his best golf at Pebble, including a solo 2nd here in 2021 and multiple weeks when he’s shot into the mid-60s on this course. His recent event history shows he consistently beats the field average at Pebble and tends to start fast rather than creeping up from behind. With local comfort, good vibes, and an aggressive scoring profile, he’s exactly the type of player who can post something very low on Day 1.

At the Chubb Classic, I like Miguel Ángel Jiménez to lift the trophy. He’s coming off the best Champions Tour season of his career, with four wins in 2025 and a stack of top finishes that underline how well he’s still competing in his sixties. He’s now up to 17 career Champions Tour victories, including multiple senior majors, so he’s firmly in that elite tier just behind Langer in this age group. On top of that, his first Champions Tour win came at this very event in Naples, and returning to a course where he’s already shot 17-under for the week makes him a very dangerous proposition again.

Despite playing away, I slightly favour Toulouse. They top the table with the best record and a monstrous points difference, reflecting how dangerous they are both with the ball in hand and defensively. Stade Français are also in the top five, and Jean-Bouin is a real test, so this won’t be easy. Still, with Toulouse’s depth, superior attacking structures, and habit of winning big domestic games, I think they have just a bit too much quality over 80 minutes.

Vallefoglia sit safely in mid-table and have a reasonably balanced attack, whereas Monviso have spent much of the season near the bottom. Monviso’s main chance is to serve aggressively and disrupt Vallefoglia’s middle attack, but they often fade in the second half of sets. With home advantage and slightly higher overall quality, Vallefoglia look good for a 3??"1 victory.

I lean Tyrone in Healy Park. Their 0??"1??"1 record doesn’t look great, but a draw with Kildare and a narrow loss to Derry suggest they’re not far off turning performances into wins. They still have a core of experienced players at this level. Cavan, at 0??"2, have also been competitive in spells but haven’t found the scores to finish games, and their confidence may be a bit more fragile. With home advantage, a strong historical record against Cavan in league meetings, and slightly better form indicators, I’d expect Tyrone to find enough scores late on to get off the mark.

15:00 Conegliano W vs Perugia W

Conegliano W to win 3-0

Set Score

50 WIN

@-277

Conegliano are the dominant force in Italy and one of the best club teams in the world, with a huge positive set and point ratio. Perugia have spent most of the season near the bottom and usually struggle badly versus the big clubs, particularly in reception against heavy serving. Conegliano’s offensive firepower from every rotation tends to break these matches open quickly. A routine 3??"0 home win looks extremely likely.

14:00 Offaly v Cork

Cork

FT Result

50 WIN

@-499

Win

This is the clearest game in Division 2 on form: Cork are 2??"0 and top, Offaly 0??"2 and bottom with the worst scoring difference in the group. Cork’s attack has been efficient, if not spectacular, doing enough to grind out wins and keeping games under control in the last quarter. Offaly are still adjusting after promotion and have struggled to contain stronger forward lines over 70 minutes. Unless conditions turn this into a complete lottery, Cork’s extra scoring power and organisation should tell.

14:00 Roscommon v Armagh

I lean Armagh. Their destruction of Monaghan and narrow away loss to Galway have given them the best scoring difference in the division outside the top two, and they look very sharp in transition from defence to attack. Roscommon responded well after the one-point loss to Kerry by beating Monaghan comfortably, and Hyde Park is never an easy venue. Over 70 minutes, though, Armagh’s more explosive forward line and recent habit of posting big tallies make me shade them, even away from home.

13:45 Donegal v Mayo

Top-of-the-table clash and a tight call, but I marginally prefer Mayo. Both teams are 2??"0, yet Mayo’s wins over Galway and Dublin felt a touch more controlled, with a slightly better scoring difference and a stronger defensive display over 70 minutes. Donegal at O’Donnell Park are always physical and clever in how they use the breeze and the pitch, so Mayo will have to handle long spells without the ball. Still, with their running game in good order and multiple scoring threats from play and placed balls, I think Mayo have a tiny edge in big-game experience right now.

09:15 LIV Golf Invitational Adelaide

Elvis Smylie

1st Round Leader

I’ll take a swing at Elvis Smylie as 1st-round leader. He’s coming in absolutely on fire after winning LIV Golf Riyadh, where he went ??"24 over four rounds and closed with a blistering ??"8 final round, so confidence could not be higher. Adelaide is another party-style event with a scoring-friendly setup at The Grange, which suits his aggressive, birdie-hunting mentality perfectly. As a young Aussie riding momentum and playing in front of a supportive crowd in his home country, he’s exactly the type who can spike a super-low opening round.

08:00 LIV Golf Invitational Adelaide

Jon Rahm

50 WIN

For the outright winner over the four rounds, I’ll go with Jon Rahm. He just finished solo 2nd in Riyadh and was the overall LIV season champion last year, built on a ridiculous level of consistency even when he wasn’t always converting those chances into wins. Rahm’s combination of driving accuracy, heavy iron play, and elite scoring on par-5s is a perfect recipe for a low-scoring, 72-hole shootout at The Grange. With Niemann, Cameron Smith, Bryson, and others all dangerous, this still feels like a spot where Rahm finally converts recent form into his first individual LIV win of 2026.
