Venue: The West Course Wentworth GC Surrey
Without any Open Golf Championship in 2025 this field and event will be the best we will see on these shores this year, which includes four of the top twenty golfers in the world.
Up until 2025, this flagship tournament would normally be played across Whitsun Bank Holiday weekend in May but in 2025 due to the amendments of the US Tour schedule, it was played in September where 2025 US Masters Champion Danny Willett beat a star-studded field which included both Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm. This win was possibly predictable as Danny has shown signs of a return to form after previously good showings in the 2025 US Open and the Open Championship at Portrush but in 2025 since lockdown recent despite a fourth in the Rocket Mortgage in Detroit back in May, Willett has since missed four cuts from nine events so the 66/1 available on him defending his crown is not tempting given the strength of the field.
So we should maybe look elsewhere in predicting the winner
Somewhat surprisingly its another Masters Champion who heads the betting especially given no American has won this event for over forty years, Patrick Reed has had eight top-ten finishes on the US Tour with the highlight winning the WGC Mexico Championship back in February.
In the recent US Open, Reed was leading after two rounds but fell away to finish thirteenth which was his same finishing position in the previous USPGA major
Although missing the cut in the US Open Tommy Fleetwood has been consistent recently with a third in the Portuguese Masters and a second in the Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club last week
Since his return from wrist surgery in November 2025 Tyrell Hatton has taken his golf to a different level.
His consistency to the US Tour in 2025 has been phenomenal achieving seven top-ten finishes including a victory in the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Bay Hill culminating in him being ranked 15th in the world.
Another player making waves and has recent tournament form around Wentworth is South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout despite a missed cut in Scotland last week has had I few notable good finishes on his first year on the US tour plus a second to Lucas Herbert in Dubai and a win in his homeland in February has put him within the top 50 golfers in the world.
Christiaan was third here in 2025 and at 40/1 would be a solid each-way chance along with Fleetwood 12/1 and Hatton 16/1 against the 12/1 favorite Patrick Reed.
SHRINERS HOSPITAL for CHILDREN OPEN 2025
Venue: TPC Summerlin Las Vegas Nevada
This event on one of the easiest courses on the PGA Tour sees the return of the US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau who is rightly priced up as clear 7/1 favorite in a field which is a lot deeper in quality than was at the Sanderson Farm event last week won by Sergio Garcia
Bryson is a previous winner of this event in 2025 where -21 was the winning score.
Since then the US Open champion has gained greater length from the tee so many people will see him as a penalty kick this week
However, other previous winners here such as Kevin Na (2025) and Ryan Moore are not long drivers, in fact, the three Par 5 s are reachable for the entire field, and driving accuracy and putting are the greater requirement around this TPC Summerlin track
There is also the possibility of high winds in the Las Vegas over the weekend so the scoring this year might not be as low as previous years
With that in mind I would rather side with another previous winner in Webb Simpson 2025, the world number 22 has won twice in 2025 and recorded eight top-ten finishes including 8th position in recent US Open
