South African golfer George Coetzee will look for his second straight victory at this year’s AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, which takes place May 12th through May 15th, 2016 at the Heritage Golf Course in Bel-Ombre, Mauritius. Considering his performance on this course last year, Coetzee could be favored in golf betting.
George Coetzee won the 2015 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open after who shooting a 13-under 271 and defeating Thorbjørn Olesen in a playoff with a birdie on second extra hole. Coetzee has captured nine wins in his career, including two victories on the European Tour. The 29-year-old also won the Tshwane Open last year with a 14-under. He earned his first European Tour victory in February 2014 at the Joburg Open. The majority of the South African’s victories in his career so far have come on the Sunshine Tour. On February 21st, he took home the title at the Dimension Data Pro-Am with a score of 21-under.
Thorbjørn Olesen was last year’s runner-up and should the Danish golfer return again this year, he’ll certainly be looking for another shot at the title. Olesen has eight professional wins so far in his career including three on the European Tour. His most recent European Tour victory came last October when he won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship with an 18-under. He also won the ISPS Handa Perth International in 2014 and his first European Tour win came at the Sicilian Open in 2012. The 26-year-old is ranked No. 17 in the Race to Dubai rankings currently.
Other golfers to watch at this year’s tournament include Singapore’s Mardan Mamat and South Africa’s Thomas Aiken. Mamat finished third at last year’s event, one stroke behind Coetzee and Olesen. The 48-year-old has captured 14 victories so far in his career with the majority of those coming on the Asian Tour. His most recent win came last October at the Bashundhara Bangladesh Open where he shot a 14-under. The victory marked his only win in 2015.

How to bet on AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open
The odds of a golfer to win the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open will generally look something like:
Tiger Woods + 150
Phil Mickelson + 250
Steve Stricker + 300
Jeff Overton + 700
Ernie Els + 700
Field + 600
These betting odds will be lower when betting on a golfer to finish in the top three, as the sportsbook must pay off three different winning bets.
A player would have to bet $10 to win $150 that Tiger Woods will win the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, while the bettor wagering on Jeff Overton stands to win $70 on their $10 wager.
Another commonly placed bet in European Golf golf is head-to-head finish between two players. With this bet, a player doesn't really care what place the golfer finishes in, as long as the golfer wagered on finishes higher than the other golfer.
A head-to-head betting line for the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open will look something like:
Tiger Woods - 190 Steve Stricker + 150
In this bet, players wagering on Woods to finish higher than Stricker will be asked to risk $19 to win $10, while bettors believing that Stricker will finish higher than Woods will bet $10 to win $15.
Those familiar with sports betting will have no trouble making the transition to European Golf golf wagering, while those new to the world of sports betting should be able to pick up the concepts of European golf betting without to much trouble.
