- Detry fancied to make a serious attempt in his home country
- Former-champion Elvira could be a generous price to challenge again
Current Form Picks
The Belgian didn't make the weekend at the US PGA Championship but he went there following a trio of consecutive top 10 finishes on the LIV and should relish the chance to play in his home country.
Jose Luis Ballester @ 18/119.00
The Spaniard has been playing well on the LIV Tour, registering three consecutive top fives, including two third-placed finishes. This week represents a tougher assignment that he has been used to but, if he can sustain his momentum, he could be in with a shout.
The South African was tied for fifth at the Catalunya Championship and made the top 10 prior to that at the Turkish Airlines event. He missed the cut last time he was here but should feel encourage after his recent performances.
Course Form Picks
The Scot was second here last year and would love to go one better in 2026. He was previously second in 2019. As for recent outings, he made the top four in Turkey and, before missing the cut in China, was sixth in India.
A former-winner here is worth a shot at this price. He gave a decent defence 12 months ago, after winning in 2024, and a ninth and 12th on his list of attempts here suggests that he is more than comfortable at Rinkven.
The Englishman was 11th here last year after consecutive missed cuts and finished ninth in 2022. He's endured a difficult few weeks but was third as recently as the end of March at the Hero Indian Open.
