The PLAYERS Championship

[Bamford]

Always a cracking tournament this, which in recent times has suited players of real quality, who haven't won on either main Tour for a period of time.  Rickie Fowler is the perfect example, as prior to his win here 12 months ago, he hadn't won since 2012 and many of you may recall media coverage of the fact that he and Poulter were the most overrated players prior to Rickie's win here!

 

Course experience is a key for me if you are searching for the ultimate winner - course debutants Martin/Kisner/Spieth/Lingmerth have all contended in-recent years but not won - so if you are looking for a debutant bet Cabrera-Bello, An, Grillo and Fitzpatrick all hold water.

 

I'm going for the following - Garcia 28s, Stenson 33s, Horschel 66s, Kirk 90s and Lingmerth 125s.
