Following a successful return of the 2015 British Masters to the European Tour, the 2016 edition is set to take place at the Grove.

Football and rugby may enjoy the best popularity in England, but the region is not without its top class golf courses. The British Masters is a part of the European Tour and the 2016 event, which is already popular amongst the golf betting tips, will see the British Masters take place during the month of October.

British Masters Key Details

The European Tour began back in 1972 and it has been one of the most popular events when it comes to golf. The British Masters has been held since 1946, making it one of the oldest golf tournaments in the world, and it currently offers prize money of £3 million.

The British Masters was previously known as the Dunlop Masters in reference to the sponsor of the event. This sponsorship lasted until 1982, but since then, the word ‘British’ has become synonymous with the tournament. The only blemish in the history of the British Masters is the absence of any tournament from 2009 to 2014. Since its return in 2015, though, the tournament has attained a new peak in terms of popularity. It is quite evident from the numerous British Masters 2016 betting tips available today.

British Masters Favourites

As expected, British nationals have dominated the title with several victories since the turn of the millennium. Six out of the last 10 titles have been claimed by those from one of the home nations. Matthew Fitzpatrick is the last to win the title and he is English. Woburn has probably been the preferred course ahead of Forest of Arden Hotel. However, both these locations will not be getting the opportunity to present the 2016 edition, which will be held at The Grove.

Grove is new to the golf betting scenario after having previously hosted only one European Tour event in the past; the World Golf Championship back in 2006 remains the only such occurrence. The arrival of the 2016 British Masters, though, could be a major boost to the course going forward.

Recent British Masters Winners

The new location is expected to make things interesting especially in terms of golf betting odds. Bookmakers have their work cut out in order to arrive at the different odds for each player. The presence of players like Luke Donald should ensure a lot of attention to the tournament. The 2015 British Masters was a major success and the 2016 event has been able to attract names like Donald for this reason. Their presence has also been a major factor in the British Masters 2016 odds.
