The latest major begins in Newport on Wednesday as the Welsh Open kicks off. The first round is only on the live streaming facilities but the tournament hits BBC Wales and Eurosport from Monday 24th which should help with betting.

Re: Welsh Open 19 Feb - 2 Mar Tournament preview: 1pt ew J.Higgins to win Welsh Open 25/1 Boylesports (1/4 1-4) One man catches the eye at the prices though and that is the three times Welsh Open champion John Higgins. It is perfectly true that Higgins hasn’t had the greatest season since the Wuxi Classic but there have been signs his form is coming back. He should have beaten Selby in The Masters and ran into an inspired Dominic Dale in the German Masters but having gone well at the Championship League last week – almost a tip in itself as Higgins doesn’t usually bother going seriously in those sort of events, preferring to keep himself fresh for the big events such as this, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Scot at his best this week.
