Most of my picks in contention to a degree over the weekend but in the end just a bit of damage limitation with the tied places for Gmac and Fleetwood.
An open field with Casey, Reed, Matsuyama & Scott co favourites at 14/1. Prefer to go with players with some course form and/or current form so my five to beat the field are:
Alex Noren is the 8/1 favourite here with Thomas Pieters at 9/1. Noren is in great form but has tended to dip slightly after a win so I am going for Pieters here plus a few decent each way bets.
It will probably take -20 to win here and Scrambling, GIR & Putting are the main qualities required so we know what kind of players we need to get into contention. Here are my team.
Go on then, picked a few just to keep the interest going.
CIMB tough one, relatively easy course and form hard to judge due to the change in continent and some of the big names coming back from a break after the ryder cup. Just gone for Piercy who has course form.
Portugal, stuck with Warren and Jacquelin from last week's picks.
CIMB Classic An open field with Casey, Reed, Matsuyama & Scott co favourites at 14/1. Prefer to go with players with some course form and/or current form so my five to beat the field are: Ryan Moore 16/1 Justin Thomas 18/1 Kevin Na 22/1 Gary Woodland 33/1 Danny Lee 175/1 Good Luck!

BOOM!!!!!!!
An Eight under par final round by Justin Thomas saw him take this title for the second consecutive year and clinch us an 18/1 Win.
Lahiri could only hit par as he saw his four shot lead evaporate and Thomas take the trophy on -23 by three shots from Matsuyama. Other notables included Lahiri -19, Leishman -17, Bradley -16, Hend -15, Hahn -14, Cabrera Bello -13, Scott -13, Piercy -13, Knox -13, Poulter -12, Moore -12, Garcia -12, Grillo -12, Casey -11, Grace -8, Reed -4, Els +4, Choi +5
Ryan Moore 16/1 -12 Tied 17th Justin Thomas 18/1 -23 WINNER!!! Kevin Na 22/1 -9 Tied 29th Gary Woodland 33/1 -3 Tied 56th Danny Lee 175/1 -4 Tied 51st
Let's hope for more success in Portugal this afternoon.
Rory McIlroy is 11/2 favourite just ahead of Dustin Johnson at 6/1 with the field at 22/1, including Casey, Matsuyama, Stenson, Scott, Thomas, Garcia & Reed.
Not going to be going too big this week so looking for players with a good course record and / or in good form at a variety of prices.
A weakened field here with the big hitters at the WGC. Chris Kirk heads the betting at 14/1 with Kizzire the only other player under 30/1. My plan is to go with Kizzire, the experience of Toms and a couple of long shots who are ready to step it up to the next level.
^^^^ Ok in Turkey? Understated for a 6 shot lead and a T4 for backup. Would never have picked Olesen especiially at 25/1 VWP sir Judging by the odds was that in play? Posted by Phantom66
The bets were last Monday.
Olesen is inconsistent but I like him and particularly here where the field was weaker than normal and the incentive of a big payout was there.
NedBank Golf Challenge My bets for this event are: Alex Noren 20/1 Alex Levy 50/1 Thorbjorn Olesen 66/1 Kiradech Aphibarnrat 80/1 Lucas Bjerregaard 150/1 Good Luck! Posted by Ice_Tiger
I have added money on both in play, Hatton e/w outright and Molinari to win outright, except (here is an in play tip for you) I havent bet on Molinari but on an Italian to win. The odds were a full point bigger for any Italian to win than for that specific Italian. Go figure. I assume it is the way the algorthm works to set those odds, with more English and Spanish players in contention.
I have also added an e/w bet on Stenson - Better 2nd round and he has the most to gain and the course form.
Garcia T1 and Westwood 3rd are up there but neither have won this season so hard to pick them to see the big tour ender through.
Small return for me Hattonx2 Molinari and Dubuisson all placing. Thought I was on for more when Hatton holed his bunker shot on 17. Not to be. Perhaps Steve was on Fitzpatrick?
Just wanted to sign off with a tribute to ICE_Tiger, Steve Ball, who did a tremendous job of tipping on this thread.
I got back into betting on golf for the first time in years through a skybet tipping video and this thread.
I am certainly not fit to act as a tipster. I just enjoyed sharing my selections which is always nice when they come good. Steve clearly followed both tours very closely and made some incredible selections. Just look at the run he had above in his last few events.

Nice post mate and he will be greatly missed.
Would be great if you keep sharing your selections.
I myself might start again in January and it would be good to get a few others involved again too.
Yes I would be happy to carry on posting selections for the new season, especially if others are doing the same.
I generally give the US tour a miss apart from the bigger events.
My general tactic is to look for players coming into form and where ideally consectuve weeks conditions are similar so the form is easier to carry through to the next event. It means I tend to swerve some events completely and go bigger on others, especially the larger events where the offers are better on places.
I had a £5 free bet to use so I have gone for some World Cup of Golf selections.
