The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, following the Ryder Cup, is one of the most anticipated tournaments of the year. This week, golf enthusiasts can expect a mix of DP World Tour's best, PGA Tour, and LIV Golf players, including European Ryder Cup stars set to receive a hero's welcome. The event takes place in Scotland, with rounds at iconic courses like St Andrews' Old Course, Kingsbarns, and Carnoustie.

Among the favourites are Tommy Fleetwood, Robert MacIntyre, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Tyrrell Hatton. However, past champions have often been bigger names with smaller prices, but runners-up have featured surprise faces with large odds. This year, sleeper picks like Elvis Smylie (+8000 to win, +600 top-10) and Oliver Lindell (+6000 to win, +450 top-10) are showing good form and a liking for links layouts. Caleb Surratt, a LIV golfer, has also shown encouraging recent form and potential for a top-10 finish (+10000 to win, +700 top-10). Another high-odds pick is Marcus Armitage (+10000 to win, +700 top-10), who has a strong record at this championship. Even Major champions like Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson are starting with prices of more than +5000, adding to the excitement.

The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship promises an exciting mix of established stars and surprise contenders. With a variety of courses and formats, this event is a true test of golfing skill. Fans can look forward to thrilling competition and potential upsets as the tournament unfolds in the historic Scottish links.
