The European Tour resumes this week with the BMW International Open in Munich, and home hope Martin Kaymer is the bookmakers’ favourite.
The world number three finished three-over par at the US Open last week as he failed to make an impact in the second Major of the year, but that has not stopped
SportingBet making the 26-year-old German their 11/1 favourite to win at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried.
American Dustin Johnson is making another appearance on the European Tour and the 27-year-old PGA Tour regular, without a victory this year, is best-priced at 14/1 with
SkyBet to win his maiden title on the tour.
There is a strong Spanish interest in this tournament in the form of Sergio Garcia, Pablo Larrazabal and Miguel Angel Jimenez. Garcia, who is still looking to end a drought that goes back to November 2008, is 18/1 (
Betfred) to end that run her, while Larrabal is 40/1 (
bet365) and Jimenez 45/1 (
totesport).
There is plenty of English interest also, with the likes of Paul Casey (25/1
Victor Chandler), Ross Fisher (33/1 bet365) and Chris Wood (50/1
bwin) all scheduled to tee off in Munich, Germany.
Retief Goosen is 20/1 (
Coral) to end his own personal duck which goes back to the Commercialbank Qatar Masters in January 2007, while other popular choices with the bookmakers are Matteo Manassero 20/1 (
Boylesports), Anders Hansen 22/1 (bwin) and Francesco Molinari 28/1 (bet365).
Victor Chandler, offering 6/1 on a German winner, are also continuing their “Hole-in-won” promotion. All you need to do is have a bet on a player to win the BMW International Open – win or each-way – and if your selection loses but has a hole-in-one during the tournament, Victor Chandler will pay you out as a winner.
And SkyBet are offering their “Double Chance” market for this tournament with Martin Kaymer/Dustin Johnson available at 5/1. Retief Goosen/Matteo Manassero can be backed at 15/2, Anders Hansen/Paul Casey at 11/1 and Ross Fisher/Miguel Angel Jimenez at 15/1.
