Before Betting
Jon Rahm will be in action on the European Tour this weekend after dominating the competition in the individual events on the LIV schedule.
The Spanish star won the prestigious individual title on the Saudi-backed tour this year, and he heads the betting on his return to Spain after winning the Open de Espana on three previous occasions.
Spanish players have dazzled the home support in recent years, with four of the last five winners being from the country. The only exception came last year, as Frenchman Matthieu Pavon recorded a four-shot success.
Pavon is undeniably a clear angle for many this weekend. The Frenchman was also runner-up in the 2022 edition when Rahm won by a tournament-record score.
Tommy Fleetwood makes his return to the European Tour this weekend after finishing a respectable 12th at the BMW PGA Championship last weekend. The Englishman is constantly solid in terms of his performances, and he will likely be a lively outsider at a bigger price once again this weekend.
However, outsiders are worth considering this weekend, with four of the winners since 2015 being priced up at +5000 or higher. Among those include +22500 winner James Morrison in 2015.
Open de Espana Prediction
Alejandro del Rey could be a hometown player worth following this weekend. The 26-year-old finished four-under at the BMW PGA Championship last weekend, and his aggressive shots off the tee could make him a very serious contender at his home course in Madrid.
