DP World Tour: Joburg Open Best Bets – Thursday, March 6, 2025
The Joburg Open will be coming up soon for the next DP World Tour event, slated to begin on Wednesday, March 5 with some golfers teeing off at 11:30 PM ET at the Houghton Golf Club in Johannesburg, South Africa. Current betting odds, shows that Jordan Smith and Jayden Schaper are both favored with a moneyline at +2000 at MyBookie.
Joburg Open Betting Preview
The course is a Par 70 and measures just under 7,300 total yards. Golfers will need to worry about the undulating putting greens, as this could be one of the more difficult courses if you are not prepared for it.
The course has been rumored to be somewhat shorter than what it actually plays, but golfers should still prepare for normal distances as they see them. This course received an overhaul about two decades ago, meaning that everyone that had played here in the past should have a slight edge in comparison to those who are rookies here.
Assuming golfers can stay on track when they drive or use irons, this course has a total of seven water hazards in play. Golfers with poor results from previous tournaments in hazards could do bad here.
Golfers That Could Win
The Joburg Open is filled with quality talent everywhere you look. Below are a couple of options to consider when looking for the best golfer for you.
Dylan Naidoo +7000
It is not often you see a winner of an event (in South Africa too) and then the next week the betting markets have Naidoo as a huge underdog. He is coming off of a victory at the SA Open.
Naidoo is currently the 16th-best golfer in the DP World Tour Rankings. With that momentum in mind, he has a great opportunity to play for a chance to win.
Marco Penge +5500
Penge has landed some solid results in his last few outings, with one of those being a T20 at the Kenya Open and his recent third place finish at two different venues. He is currently ranked as the 74th-best golfer in the DP World Tour. He has shown in the past that driving hard off the tee can help a really good amount down the line.
Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick
MyBookie offers you the most appealing betting odds in the PGA Tour, with a few players favored to win at the Joburg Open. One golfer to consider is Joost Luiten, who is currently ranked as the 50th-best golfer.
His best performance so far this season was at the right time, with a T11 at the SA Open just last week. If he can do some damage here like he did in the last tournament, he has a chance to succeed here. Look for Luiten to crack the top 10 and potentially win.
Final Pick: Joost Luiten +3000
