The DP World Tour remains in South Africa for one final week for the Alfred Dunhill Championship, which takes place at its traditional Leopard Creek Country Club home.
While the familiar sights and sounds of the Kruger National Park greet the DP World Tour’s globetrotters, we enter unknown territory in the US with the Grant Thornton Invitational, a new mixed-team tournament which has been co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour.
Racing & Football Outlook golf tipster Joe Champion has put together an each-way double for this week’s events which pays out at 90/1 with bet365.
Back our 90/1 golf each-way double here!
Alfred Dunhill Championship winner prediction – Christiaan Bezuidenhout at 12/1
One of the most iconic courses on the DP World Tour schedule, Leopard Creek has hosted the Alfred Dunhill Championship since 2005 and is perhaps best known for offering a glimpse of Africa’s Big Five animals.
Forget the Big Five this week, however, as a South African Big Six dominate the market with hat-trick seeking Dean Burmester leading the betting ahead of Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Erik van Rooyen, Thriston Lawrence, Louis Oosthuizen and Branden Grace.
Burmester is in top form but Leopard Creek, a course which demands tee-to-green accuracy, is vastly different to last week’s venue Blair Atholl and, with the favourite now looking on the short side, it could pay to back Bezuidenhout instead.
The 29-year-old finished ninth at the Joburg Open, then 17th last week at an unsuitable course. This week he returns to Leopard Creek, where he was a brilliant four-shot winner of this event in 2020 before claiming the South African Open the following week.
Bezuidenhout hasn’t won since but he’s been contending for titles in much stronger company than he faces this week, and he looks the strongest option from those who are closest to Burmester.
Grant Thornton Invitational winner prediction – Ludvig Aberg and Madelene Sagstrom at 6/1
Golf has been crying out for a top-class mixed-team event and, rather than create one out of nothing, the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour have sensibly joined forces to repackage the QBE Shootout as the Grant Thornton Invitational.
Sixteen pairs will take part at Tiburon Golf Club’s Gold Course, previously the venue for the Shootout but also well known to the LPGA contingent as the host venue for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship.
Beginning on Friday, the GTI is similar to the Shootout in that it features three different formats – Friday scramble, Saturday foursomes and Sunday modified fourball – which tests various aspects of a team’s game.
The all-star American duo of Tony Finau and Nelly Korda lead the betting and will take a lot of beating after Finau found form at the Hero World Challenge last week, but the eye is drawn to the all-Swedish team of Madelene Sagstrom and Ludvig Aberg.
Sagstrom is not quite on Korda’s level but she’s a solid LPGA pro who has represented Europe in three Solheim Cups and was 16th at Tiburon in the Tour Championship last month. She’s also teaming up with arguably the strongest player in this field and one who won by four shots on his last start at the
RSM Classic.
These two know each other well – Aberg’s caddie Jack Clarke is Sagstrom’s fiance – so there shouldn’t be any issues as far as team cohesion is concerned.
