Two great choices sit at the top of the list of contenders in the 151st Open Championship this week a bit outside of Liverpool, England. They are Scottie Scheffler, still riding his amazing streak of seven straight finishes in the top five in events featuring the world’s best players, and Rory McIlroy, always a favorite […]
It’s about 15 hours by air from Edinburgh to Reno, and then another half-hour by car to Truckee CA, so assuming Keith Mitchell can handle that amount of travel, he is a decent choice as favorite in this week’s Barracuda Championship. He did get an extra couple of days to recover from the travel when […]

Alexander Bjork is the pick this week as the DP World Tour visits Denmark for the Made in HimmerLand event. Bjork, one of seven players in the event ranked between 145 and 200 in the Hawley Ratings, has top-10 finishes in four of his last five appearances since early May. Jordan Smith, who at no. […]
After a week off for the U.S. Open, the DP World Tour resumes in Munich this week for the BMW International Open. It is getting easier to overlook the fact that Victor Perez is the highest-ranked player in the field (no. 124 in the Hawley Ratings) after his back-to-back missed cuts in the KLM Open […]
Considering the men entered (and lacking comparable data on the women) in this week’s Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed tournament near Stockholm, Sweden, we will go with returning homie Alex Noren as favorite. Noren has been playing the PGA Tour since February and had a recent semi-bounce-back, making cuts at the Memorial and Schwab the last […]
With Victor Perez, the question is whether to believe that last week’s 104th place finish in the KLM Open means something, or to forget it, possibly attributing it to fatigue due to his fourth trans-oceanic flight since February. Going with the bigger picture, he looms as the favorite this week in the Porsche European Open […]
Victor Perez is the obvious choice this week in the KLM Open at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, Netherlands. Perez has been back and forth across the Atlantic four times this year, playing a mixture of PGA Tour and DP World Tour events. He was 12th last week in the PGA Championship, ninth two weeks earlier […]
Belgium’s professional golf tournament, the Soudal Open, returned to the traditional stroke-play format last year after two seasons of a “knockout” format. We’re going traditional again this year, with Belgian citizen (but PGA Tour regular) Thomas Detry as the favorite. Detry is playing in Europe for the first time this year. In 11 events on […]

International golf returns to Korea for the first time since 2019 this week as the DP World Tour stops at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon. A field with a strongly international flavor is headed by Polish player Adrian Meronk, 134th in the current Hawley Rankings, and Danish Rasmus Hojgaard, 127th. Meronk missed the […]
From www.europeantour.com: “The DP World Tour further enhances its credentials as golf’s global tour this week as Japan becomes the 51st different country to host an event on Tour.” They are in Omitama, about 65 miles northeast of Tokyo, for the ISPS HANDA Championship at the PGM Ishioka GC. Assuming he can adjust to a […]
