EnergyBet have some of the best Genesis Open bets to make and it is their winner market that has some of the best value odds.

Irishman McIlroy has been paired with Tiger Woods and world number four for the opening two rounds of the Genesis Open in what is the standout grouping. When three world-class stars compete together is often raises the game of each individual player. However, critically for McIlroy, both Woods and Thomas are American leaving McIlroy to fly the flag for the Europeans. Considering no European has won this event since Nick Faldo in 1997, perhaps the victory may be a step too far or the Northern Irishman. However, with only Tommy Fleetwood of the European contingent showing any signs of form, McIlroy to finish top European is one of the top Genesis Open betting tips in a likely two-horse race. Dafabet possess a special event specials market giving us some of the unique bets and best odds on Genesis Open.

Super Swede Alex Noren is playing the golf of his life at the age of 35 and suddenly came to the forefront in 2016 with four European Tour wins. He followed that up a victory at last years BMW PGA Championship and has switched over to the PGA Tour where he lost in a playoff at this year’s Farmers Insurance Open. Noren turns up in California with no course knowledge but the Swede does not need it as proved at the Farmers. Noren is one of our top Genesis Open tips for another strong performance with a top ten. Expect him to be troubling the leaderboard come Sunday but outright victory going to one of the more course experience players.
