Before Betting On ISPS Handa Championship
The competitive action on course on the DP World Tour continues after an extended break this weekend, with the ISPS Handa Championship being staged in Japan. This event has been staged annually since 2022, and it will be competed at the Taiheiyo Club for the first time across the coming weekend.
When it was established in 2022, the event was the first to be co-sanctioned by the European Tour to be played in Japan. However, the inaugural edition of the event was staged as a Japan Golf Tour event due to COVID restrictions. Lucas Herbert won the most recent edition of the tournament following a playoff against Aaron Cockerill. Meanwhile, the tournament record scores are held by Yuto Katsuragawa.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout will be the leading contender in the betting this weekend, with the South African looking to continue his excellent recent form. The 29-year-old comes into this weekend after finishing the top 30 at the recent RBC Heritage, while he has made the cut in each of his last five appearances.
Matthieu Pavon will also hold solid claims this weekend after being in contention for a long time at the RBC Heritage last weekend. The Frenchman finished in the top 50 of that event, which came after an impressive finish in a tie for 12th at The Masters earlier in the month.

This will be a competitive event on the DP World Tour this week, but a chance could be taken on Ryo Ishikawa. The Japanese player has won the Taiheiyo Masters on three occasions at the course, and he should give a good account this weekend.
