Something a bit different...

Thursday 11th April 2024

Good morning. I'm a huge sports fan, and I love a big, iconic event...

Be it Wimbledon, or the FA Cup final at Wembley. The darts at Christmas at the Ally Pally...

Or the only golf Major played at the same course every year: The Masters...

They tee off at Augusta this afternoon, from 1pm UK time.

Over the years, every now and then, I've shared my golf picks with you...

In 2022, we had a nice 28/1 win with Cameron Smith at The Open.

Last year here at Augusta, two of my four picks came in the Each Way places. And 100/1 shot Sahith Theegala came 9th, just one spot away from a share of the place odds.

On my list for this weekend...

This time, Theegala goes off at 40/1 with the firms offering 8 Each Way places (at 1/5 odds) - including Bet365, Skybet, William Hill, and Betway. I like this guy. He's a talent - and an entertainer.

I've already mentioned Major debutant Ludvig Aberg a couple of times this year, including last week. The fast-rising Swede ticks the box as a 'Ones to Watch' golfer. He's 25/1 in general, with William Hill going 28/1.

And for a guy with serious Major credentials. Someone who's already won multiple titles at this level. And who has the tenacious, ruthless mindset needed to win at all costs. Look no further than last year's runner-up, Brooks Koepka. He's 20/1 with William Hill.

Enjoy the golf...

P.S
