A host of PGA stars join the best of the DP World Tour for a cracking event in South Africa at the famed Gary Player Country Club.
Best Bet
The PGA Tour visitors are severely under-the-odds and the best value bet resides with Dane Thorbjorn Olesen. Olesen ranks 4th in Par 5 Scoring, 9th in Scrambling and 14th in Putting Average. He has finished Top 10 at the last two Open De France’s and the 2023 Qatar Masters, the two best guides. His form is elite with three Top 7 finishes in his last four starts.
Mid-Tier Bet
Hojgaard is an elite level talent who has three wins on the DP World Tour, a second at the Farmers Insurance on the PGA Tour and contended at The Masters this year. Returning to form with four straight Top 20s after really struggling on the PGA Tour. Ranks Top 15 in GIR, Strokes Gained: Approach and Driving Distance.
Value Bet
We are chips in Denmark this week with Norgaard rounding out the trio of Danes we are backing. Norgaard profiles a treat ranking 3rd in Driving Distance, 4th in Strokes Gained: Off The Tee, 7th in Par 5 Scoring and 15th in GIR. Finished Top 20 in the Open de France this year.
Longshot Bet
Ryggs Johnston entered the Betseeker Hall of Fame last week when winning the Australian Open at $176 as tipped in this column. We can go again on a player who may well be a future star. That win was his second start on the DP World Tour – and comes just seven months after turning pro. He looks a star with his irons and can find birdies for fun. It is hard to back up but this is a silly number.
