The Omega European Masters will get all the attention for golf betting on the DP World Tour, as this historic event will take place at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland on Thursday, September 5. Golfers will compete for a slice of the €3,250,000 prize purse. In addition, Matt Fitzpatrick is favored with a moneyline at +840.
The Omega European Masters has another exciting event this year. Plenty of the best golfers will be in attendance and should make this a challenging tournament.
The course is a Par 70, measuring a bit over 6,800 yards. The altitude will also impact golfers who might be new to this environment. With that in mind, the course plays closer to 6,500 due to the altitude.
Many trees will play throughout the course, mostly lining areas where you should not hit the ball. The greens are slower and smaller than other golf courses by comparison, so golfers must be accurate here.
The average score over the last three years has been 16.6. Last year, Ludvig Aberg won with a score of -19. Fitzpatrick, the current favorite, won here twice in 2017 (-14) and 2018 (-17).
The 2024 Omega European Masters has plenty of talent you could choose from. Keep in mind that the last four winners made their debut in the event. Below are a few that stand out in the field.
Lawrence has excellent momentum coming into this tournament. Over his last three events, he finished fourth at The Open and runner-up at the British Masters. He also won here in 2022 with a final score of -18.
In mid-August, Van Rooyen returns after a T33 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. With some positive momentum on his side, he has a shot to stay within reach throughout the tournament.
Looking back at last season, he placed eighth here. He also has experience playing in higher altitudes, having won the Barracuda Championship (Sierra Nevada Mountains) in 2021.
MyBookie has you covered for the best bets in the Omega European Masters. Many golfers make a compelling case here, but one stands out.
Bernd Weisberger has landed in the top 25 in 11 of his last 15 starts. This includes his exceptional runner-up performance at the European Open in May.
He comes in fourth for strokes gained tee to green, greens in regulation, and seventh for approach. He also was a runner-up in 2021 here, proving he can be in contention again.
