This week we take a look at four golf events across the Globe on which betting is available, the most significant being the US Women’s Open, the most prestigious event in Women’s golf.
We also assess the chances at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio, the Belgian Knockout in Europe and the Gateway to the Mizuno Open on the Japan Tour.
Last week’s attention of the golfing world centered fairly and squarely on the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black but this week we take a look at betting prospects in events on the PGA, the LPGA and the European Tours.
The Charles Schwab Challenge at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth is this week’s PGA Tour event, the LPGA Tour is in Virginia for the Pure Silk Championship while the European Tour is in Denmark for the Made In Denmark event.
Last week we covered out bets with the success of Brooke Koepka and while there is no point boasting about selecting a favourite it sure beats picking a losing outsider.

The PGA Championship earns the attention of the golfing world this week when the second men’s major championship of the year is played at Bethpage Black on Long Island just outside of New York City.
Brooks Koepka begins the event as the favourite and the defending champion and it would seem that given the demands of Bethpage one of the game’s leading half dozen players is likely to take the Wanamaker Trophy.
We also look back at last week to see how we performed.

This week’s events for betting assessment are the PGA Tour’s AT&T Byron Nelson Championship in Dallas, the British Masters in Southport in England and the Japan and Asian Tour’s Asia Pacific Open in Chiba east of Tokyo.
With just one week to go until the second men’s major of the year, the event in Dallas takes on even greater significance as the defending champion for next week’s event, Brooks Koepka, starts as one of the pre-tournament favourites.
One or two near misses with last week’s fancies but no chocolates unfortunately.
This week we assess the chances at three events, namely the PGA Tour’s Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina, the LPGA Tour’s Mediheal Championship near San Francisco and the Volvo China Open in Shenzhen.
We also take a look back at last week results and how our analysis then fared.
