Turkish Airlines Open Tips: Stenson to Top the Pile

Greg Jones

Turkish Airlines Open Background

The Turkish Airlines Open is the sixth of eight Rolex Series events in its inaugural year and is the first of the final three events, which complete the Race To Dubai. The event is held at the Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort, and on a course, which provides plenty of birdie opportunities. Thorbjorn Olesen was the winner here last year, with a score of 20-under-par, so there is the potential to shoot low. However, as with any top course, there also dangerous spots. The greens are undulating and tricky, so greens in regulation and accuracy with iron shots will be key as we preview who are the ones to look out for in the golf betting tips. Golf markets vary from the outright winner, top 5 or top 10 finishes, with much more to consider as well, and bookmakers are offering many odds on golf this week.

Turkish Airlines Open Betting Tips

We have selected some of the best odds on the Turkish Airlines Open as the European Tour’s best golfers face off against each other this week. We select who are the best runners and riders shaping up in our Turkish Airlines Open preview.

Henrik Stenson’s first tournament of the 2018 USPGA Tour season showed he is ready and raring to go after a break following the FedEx Cup playoffs. He finished in a tie for second at the WGC-HSBC Champions last week, just two shots off his Ryder Cup teammate and good friend Justin Rose who took the title. He and Rose will do battle again this week, but his pedigree and form showed last week mean he is one to be heavily considered in the Turkish Airlines Open outright winner tips. When on form, he is simply one of the best golfers in the World, and he’ll be hoping 2018 sees him add to the one Major he has picked up so far. Picking up big titles such as the one at the Turkish Airlines Open will show he should be a contender in the Majors this year, and he will be hoping to lay down a marker by winning here this week. This means Stenson stands out amongst the Turkish Airlines Open tips.

Joost Luiten is currently 34th in the Race To Dubai rankings, aided by a superb showing at the Andalucia Valderrama Masters a fortnight ago, where he finished in a standalone second behind Sergio Garcia. By Luiten’s standards, it hasn’t been a great year, having only achieved one top ten finish before his last outing. A disappointing KLM Open, where he has won twice previously, was probably the low point. He missed the cut there but has bounced back well since, and a final round of 66 saw him finish strongly in Andalucia. Whilst not spectacular, Luiten is a very steady player, which makes him a tip in the Turkish Airlines Open Preview. He is at over 70% for Greens In Regulation on the European Tour this season and will be full of confidence off the back of his performance this week. At odds of 6/1, he is well worth a bet to finish in the top five with Betfred, who have some of the best odds on Turkish Airlines Open so Luiten is a great shout for a top-five finish as one of the golf tips.

David Horsey was runner-up at last year’s Turkish Airlines Open, pushing Thorbjorn Olesen all the way with a final round of 65. He also finished tied for 13th at the season-ending DP Dubai World Championship and will be hoping for another strong finish to this season. He came in a tie for sixth in his last outing at the Italian Open three weeks ago, making it his fifth top ten finish of the season. His putting has been his shining light, along with his excellence around the greens, and that will be required around this golf course with its tricky greens. Having had three weeks to recover since the Italian Open, Horsey should be refreshed going into this week, and all of the form indicators point to him having a successful tournament, making him a strong Turkish Airlines Open betting tips.
