The DP World Tour hits Africa for the first time in 2024 with the staging of the Magical Kenya Open, with Ewen Ferguson the top pick in a field missing plenty of stars.
Best Bet
Scottish 27yo who is in the top three of betting here. Form has been very good. Has Top 25 finishes in eight of his last 11 starts. There are four key stats here and Ferguson ranks Top 10 in three of them: Strokes Gained: Approach, Driving Accuracy and Scrambling. Finished T-13 at the Andalucia Masters, a key guide to here.
Mid-Tier Bet
Short-game wizard who is accurate off the tee, a key characteristic required here. Ranks 5th in Driving Accuracy. Form at the Andalucia Masters is excellent with a win in 2022 and a 9th last year. Finished Top 34 in all four starts in this event. Looking for a bounce-back after some poor results.
Value Bet
Dutch player who has been around the market of late with two Top 10s in his last five starts. They both came on the African continent. Ranks 7th in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green and 8th in Strokes Gained: Approach. Finished Top 25 in the 2022 Andalucia Masters and the European Masters. Profiles strongly.
Longshot Bet
Big price for a player who profiles as well as anyone here. Leads the Tour in Driving Accuracy while he ranks 4th in Strokes Gained: Approach, 11th in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green and 12th in Scrambling. Four Top 20 finishes in his last seven starts.
