Golf betting tips for the The Honda Classic (in more detail):
Sungjae Im:
To win outright (3 points win @ 9/1).
Current form (last 5 starts): MC – T18 – T4 – T6 – T56.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – T51 – 1 – T8 – MC.
Reasons to believe – Sungjae Im:
“Sungjae has been going under the radar so far this season, but still has x2 top 10 finishes in his last 3 starts. He was the winner here back in 2020 and therefore I think he should be the man to beat this week” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Shane Lowry:
Each-way (1.5 points e/w @ 14/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): 18 – T28 – MC – MC – T14.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): T49 – DNP – T21 – T36 – 2.
Reasons to believe – Shane Lowry:
“A glimpse of some encouraging form last week with a top 15 finish and looking much more like his old self. Made the cut the last 5 times he has played this event and finished 2nd last year, so has to make the shortlist” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Denny McCarthy:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 25/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T32 – T50 – T4 – MC – T14.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – MC – MC – T3 – T30.
Reasons to believe – Denny McCarthy:
“Denny was T14 last week and T4 a couple of weeks prior to that, so I’m now hopeful it’s his time to turn potential into victory. His T3 finish here 2 years ago is still his best result on Tour, so he will certainly have fond memories of the course” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Chris Kirk:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 25/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T64 – MC – 3 – T3 – MC.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): T33 – MC – MC – T25 – T7.
Reasons to believe – Chris Kirk:
“Ball striking is massive here and Chris Kirk is one of the best. A missed cut last week is a slight concern, but prior to that he had two 3rd place finishes in a row. He was also T3 here 2 years ago, so shows he knows how to navigate the course” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Sepp Straka:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 40/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T10 – T21 – MC – MC – T45.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – MC – T27 – DNP – 1.
Reasons to believe – Sepp Straka:
“Last year’s winner has been playing reasonably so far this year, with 1 x top 25 and 1 x top 10 finish in the last 5 weeks. Hopefully returning to PGA National brings back good memories and he can get himself into contention at a decent price” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
