Golf: Italian Open Bet Preview

Venue: Marco Simone Golf Club, Rome, Italy.
Dates: 15th – 18th September 2022

Tournament Preview

With the Ryder Cup on the horizon in Rome next year, attention now turns to scoring points and pocketing prize money on the European Tour. Plenty of big names and fringe players will be targeting this tournament as a chance to impress Luke Donald and with 3 million euros in the prize pot, there is plenty to play for. The event was first established in 1925 and is one of the most prestigious on the European Tour and the standard of golf should be high once more in 2022 – especially with so much at stake.

Betting Preview

Outright Winner

All of the biggest hitters on the European Tour are present in Rome meaning it should be a hotly contested week of golf:-

Rory McIlroy – 15/4

Following his win at the season ending FedEx cup in America earlier this month, Rory McIlroy arrives here in Italy as very much the man to beat.

Matthew Fitzpatrick – 10/1

US Open champion Matthew Fitzpatrick now spends most of his playing time on the PGA Tour, but he has a game well suited to all conditions and he will be eager to continue his good form here in Rome.

Viktor Hovland – 12/1

Young Norwegian Viktor Hovland looks to be a man on a mission currently at the very sharp end of the game and he will be up for this from the outset in Rome.

Tyrrell Hatton – 22/1

English Ryder Cup player Tyrrell Hatton has endured a tough year by his excellent standards and how he would love to put some serious points on the board here in Rome this weekend.

Francesco Molinari – 25/1

Home favourite Francesco Molinari will be out to put on a show for the paying Italian punters here and he is capable of beating anybody on his day.

1st Round Leader

Producing the goods over 72 holes is often the most difficult thing for any golfer to do therefore here are our first round leader picks:-

Jordan Smith – 45/1

Englishman Jordan Smith hasn’t hit the heights of 2021 in 2022 but he should relish the playing conditions this weekend in Rome and his game has looked in good nick recently.

John Caitlin – 80/1

American John Caitlin has picked up some mightily impressive wins on the European Tour this term and he could once again be a player to look out for from the off in Rome.

Top Five Finish

With so many quality players assembled here in Rome, getting into the winning enclosure could be tough but there are plenty of candidates to finish in the top 5 come Sunday:-

Adrian Meronk – 6/1

Polish player Adrian Meronk has enjoyed a real breakout year on the DP World Tour and with some of the biggest names around, how he’d love to put in a serious performance.

Andy Sullivan – 9/1

Andy Sullivan is another player on the edge of Europe’s Ryder Cup plans and having played in the event before, he will be hungrier than ever for a taste of the action next year.

Edoardo Molinari – 11/1

Much like his brother, Edoardo Molinari is a player who is very capable at this level and with local knowledge sure to come in handy, he could be a serious threat in this field.
