Golf 2025 Season…….

[RufusCat]

If you are looking for a big priced outsider I have had a small each way wager on the 20 year old South African Aldritch Potgeiter. He has only played 22 tournaments on the PGA tour but has already won once and come second once. He is the longest hitter on the tour, and won the British Amateur Championship in 2022 at another Open (links) course @ Royal Lytham. Depending on which bookie you use he is available at between 150-250 to 1. He will not be that high a price in future years.

Watched Hovland play for a good few holes this afternoon and he was hitting his iron shots fantastic

Very open tournament this year but I think I would go for Hatton if I had to pick

….up to watch the first shot on TV this morning, I wonder how many hours I’ll be watching over the next 4 days. Added Hovland to my portfolio this morning, 25-1 (1-10) he seems popular on here.

I just discovered that this Portrush tournament is in fact The Open!
I used to watch it slavishly on the beeb.

Here we are and it’s not even December yet, but the 2025 DP World Tour “tees off” tomorrow in Brisbane, Australia!

What are your golf plans, targets for next year?

Can Rory win another major, will Europe bring the Ryder Cup back from New York next September!

Oh and by the way watch out for the scammers!

….shot of the week already, Mickelson finding the hole from a deep greenside bunker for par.

Same here, I was initially not a fan of golf leaving the BBC and being shown on Sky etc, but in truth the coverage you see nowadays is a million times better than the days of Peter Alliss telling the same "jokes" day in, day out. The likes of Ewan Murray and the team are knowledgeable and quite amusing - as long as they show golf and not studio nonsense.

Really enjoyed watching Reiten this year on the DP tour, so I'll be keeping an eye out for him.

…Oleson -5, tipped in Racing Post @300-1, nice interest if backed for 1st day leader.

Hope it’s the right oleson. I think there are 2 named oleson in the field.

My usual tenner EW on Evertonian fleetwood at 25-1.
Not a good start from Mcilroy.
