The European Tour has a new event this week, as players head to Belgium for the Belgian Knockout. The tournament will look the same as other European Tour events for the first two rounds, but the final two rounds will have a different look. It is strokeplay for the first 36 holes and then the top 64 players will go head-to-head over the weekend in strokeplay matches that consist of nine holes. Let’s look at the odds and predictions for the Belgian Knockout. ... 

The European Tour heads to Italy this week for the Rocco Forte Sicilian Open where Andy Sullivan is listed as the favorite. None of the top players in the world are in the field this week, as this event is being held at the same time as THE PLAYERS in Florida. It was team play last week on the European Tour in the GolfSixes, so we really didn’t have any true matchup plays. We’ll look to have a big week with the matchups for the Rocco Forte Sicilian Open. ... 

The European Tour is not taking the week off even though some of their best players are in Florida for THE PLAYERS Championship. The Rocco Forte Sicilian Open gets underway on Thursday in Italy with Andy Sullivan listed as the favorite. Only two players are listed with odds of less than +2300, as Sullivan is +1200, while Thorbjorn Olesen is +1600. Let’s look at the odds and predictions for the Rocco Forte Sicilian Open. ... 

This week’s European Tour event is just a two-day event, as action takes place on Saturday and Sunday. It is also a team event and includes a few teams that have women players. The team of Pablo Larrazabal & Adrian Otaegui is the current betting favorite at odds of +550, while the team of Thorbjorn Olesen and Lucas Bjerregaard is the second betting choice at odds of +575.

It is team play on the European Tour this week with the GolfSixes event in the United Kingdom. It is also a short tournament, as play begins on Saturday and wraps up on Sunday. The three teams getting the most attention in terms of the betting odds are the Denmark team of Lucas Bjerregaard and Thorbjorn Olesen, the France team of Alexander Levy and Romain Wattel and the Spain team of Pablo Larrazabal and Adrian Otaegui. Let’s look at the odds and predictions for the GolfSixes. ... 

Alexander Levy will try and win in back-to-back weeks on the European Tour and he is listed as the favorite in the Volvo China Open. Levy will have to contend with local favorite Haotong Li who is the second choice in the betting along with European Tour veterans Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Bern Wiesberger. We are coming off a 3-2 week with last week’s picks at the Trophee Hassan II. Let’s look at the odds and picks for this week’s Volvo China Open. ...

We are coming off a 2-2-1 week with last week’s picks at the Open de Espana. Let’s look at the odds and picks for this week’s Trophee Hassan II. ...

Jon Rahm is a solid favorite to win this week’s Open de Espana on the European Tour. Rahm is the only player listed at single digit odds, as he is listed at 4-1, while Rafa Cabrera Bello is the second choice at 12-1.

...

Six players are listed with odds of +2050 or less, including defending champion SSP Chowrasia. We are coming off a perfect 4-0 week with the matchups at the Tshwane Open last week. Let’s look at the odds and picks for this week’s Hero Indian Open.... 

The European Tour heads to India this week for the Hero Indian Open where local favorites Shubankar Sharma and Anirban Lahiri are two of the top contenders. Sharma, Lahiri, Chris Wood and Joost Luiten are listed as co-favorites at odds of +1250. Also worth a strong look this week could be defending champion SSP Chawrasia who won by seven shots a year ago. Let’s look at the odds and predictions for the Hero Indian Open that begins on Thursday.... 

George Coetzee leads the field for the Tshwane Open this week in South Africa. The world’s top players are either in Mexico or taking the week off, so this European Tour event does not have a strong field. Coetzee is the favorite at odds of +1085, while Alexander Bjork is the second choice at odds of +1659. We went 3-2 last week with the matchups at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters last week. Let’s look at the odds and picks for this week’s Tshwane Open.... 

With all of the best players in the world in Mexico, or sitting this week out, it is a wide-open field in South Africa for the Tshwane Open. George Coetzee is listed as the favorite at odds of +1000. The only other player listed at odds of less than +2000 is Alexander Bjork at odds of +1600. It is definitely a week for value when it comes to picking the winner. Let’s look at the odds and predictions for the Tshwane Open that begins on Thursday in South Africa.... 

Thorbjorn Olesen is favored to win the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, which begins on Thursday. Keep in mind that Qatar is eight hours ahead of Eastern Time, so the action gets underway very early on Thursday morning. We went 2-1-1 last week with the matchups at the NBO Oman Open and there was also a withdrawal, as Richie Ramsay didn’t play due to illness. Let’s look at the odds and picks for this week’s Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.... 

The European Desert Swing continues this week with the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, with Thorbjon Olesen listed as the lukewarm favorite. No players are listed at single-digit odds this week, as Olesen is the favorite at odds of +1250. Andy Sullivan is the second choice in the betting at odds of +1650, while defending champion Jeunghun Wang is the third choice at +1850. Let’s look at the odds and predictions for the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.... 

Alexander Levy is listed as the favorite to win this week’s NBO Oman Open, a brand new event on the European Tour. Levy is listed at odds of +1415, and that tells you there is not a ton of confidence in the favorite. He is, however, the only player listed with odds of less than +2000. We went a nice 3-0-1 with last week’s matchup picks at the World Super 6 Perth event. Let’s look at the odds and picks for this week’s NBO Oman Open.... 

The NBO Oman Open is a brand new event on the European Tour, taking place in Muscat, Oman. Alexander Levy is favored in what should be a wide-open tournament, as Levy is listed at +1200. Shubhankar Sharma is the second choice in the betting at odds of +2000. There are very few recognizable names in the event and it would not be a surprise if a big longshot won this inaugural event. Let’s look at the tournament and predictions.... 

It is stroke play followed by match play this week at the ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth event. There is no real favorite this week, as seven players are all listed at about +2500. Very few big names are playing this week, which is why you will see players like Ryan Fox, Jason Scrivener, Thorbjorn Olesen and Kiradech Aphibarnrat among the top betting choices. We went 3-2 with last week’s matchup picks at the Maybank Championship. Let’s look at the odds and picks for this week’s ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth.... 

The European Tour heads to Australia this week for the ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth. It is a unique event because the final day of play is nothing like the first three days. The first three days are normal stroke play and there is the standard cut after 36 holes but after Saturday’s third round there is another cut to just 24 players, and Sunday’s action is match play. If the odds are any indication, it should be a wide-open event, as no player is listed at less than +2050 to win the tournament.... 

Henrik Stenson is a solid favorite to win this week’s Maybank Championship in Kaula Lumpur, Malaysia. It is a much weaker field this week on the European Tour and Stenson is the only player listed at single-digit odds. He is listed at +800, while Alexander Levy is the second choice in the betting at +1400. We went 2-3 with last week’s matchup picks at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, but one of those wins was on a nice underdog. Let’s look at the odds and picks for this week’s Maybank Championship.... 

Henrik Stenson and last week’s winner Haotong Li, lead the field for this week’s Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur. Stenson is the clear betting favorite at odds of +700, while Li and Alexander Levy are co-second choices at odds of +1600. This is just the third year for this tournament as part of the European Tour schedule and it is only the second time that Saujana Golf and Country Club in Kuala Lumpur will host the event. Let’s look at the tournament and predictions.... 

Rory McIlroy leads the field for the Omega Dubai Desert Classic this week, as McIlroy is listed as the favorite, while Sergio Garcia is the second choice. Both McIlroy and Garcia have won this event in the past, so it is not a surprise they are the top betting choices. We went 2-3 with last week’s matchups at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. Let’s look at the odds and picks for this week’s Omega Dubai Desert Classic.... 

A strong field is assembled for the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, which begins on Thursday. Rory McIlroy is listed as the favorite at odds of +450, while Sergio Garcia is the second choice at +750. Last week’s winner Tommy Fleetwood is also in the field, and he is listed as the third choice in the betting at +1050. McIlroy and Garcia have won this event in two of the last three years. Let’s look at the tournament and predictions....
