Golf is seen as a rich man’s game, although it has developed a lot of traction among all sections of the society in recent years. One of the most prestigious events with regard to golf has to be the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, which takes place in Scotland.

Established in 2001, it plays host to some of the best golf in a calendar year and this has subsequently led to the rise of golf betting surrounding this tournament. One of the great aspects of the tournament is that three top courses – Kingsbarns Golf Links, Carnoustie, and Old Course – play host to the golfing action. The defending champion at the 2016 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship will be Thorbjørn Olesen. He managed to win a third European Tour title in the 2015 edition. It was a major improvement for Olesen over his second place finish at the tournament back in 2012.

Entry of the Big Guns

It is not surprising that many golf betting tips cater to this tournament. It features a comprehensive list of top names in golf and the 2016 edition is no different. Scotland’s east coast will see the arrival of Danny Willett, who is the reigning champion of the Master's tournament. Spaniard Rafa Cabrera Bello is currently fourth in the rankings for the Race to Dubai, and he will be out to enrich his trophy cabinet after an impressive showing at the Ryder Cup 2016.

Belgium’s Thomas Pieters managed to win four out of five points at the Hazeltine National. In fact, it would not be surprising to see the 24-year-old dominate the golf betting odds since he has been in spectacular form over the last two months. He finished fourth at the Olympics while managing a victory at the Made in Denmark title. Other notable entries would include the likes of Shane Lowry, Branden Grace, and Andrew Johnson.
