The Amgen Irish Open was a great event for me last year, with my top tip Rasmus Hojgaard pipping Rory McIlroy late to steal the title (and, for me, a tidy profit).<\/p>\n

After chatting with the Golf Monthly betting panel, who have been hard at work picking their selections to win the Amgen Irish Open 2025<\/a>, I decided to take a slightly different approach to curating Bazza’s best bets this time around.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While it would be easy (and probably sensible) to pick Rory McIlroy to win this event, considering his recent form and event history, his price is totally uninspiring and I’d rather look elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Instead, I have opted for four great value selections in the hope that one of them can pull of a ‘Hojgaard-esque’ display to pip the popular favourite once more…<\/p>\n

Outright Winner Betting Tips<\/p>\n

Outright Winner: Haotong Li (2pts @ +3500<\/a> with BetMGM)<\/a><\/p>\n

Haotong Li has had quite the year in 2025, winning a fourth DP World Tour title in Qatar, securing a spot at the Masters<\/a> thanks to his fourth place finish at the Open Championship and surging towards earning a PGA Tour card for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Since his stellar performance at Royal Portrush in July, Li has followed up with a T8th finish at the Betfred British Masters and a T24th finish at the Omega European Masters.<\/p>\n

He ranks 13th for Strokes Gained<\/a> (SG): Tee to green this season and has ranked 13th and third for the same measure in his last two starts.<\/p>\n

His form in Ireland is difficult to swallow, but I believe he has turned a corner in his career and is finally realising the huge potential he has threatened for a number of years – so I am prepared to give him a chance at a huge price.<\/p>\n

Sleeper Betting Tips<\/p>\n

Sleeper: Grant Forrest (1pt @ +6600 with BetMGM)<\/a><\/p>\n

Grant Forrest cruised to a second DP World Tour win<\/a> just two starts ago at the Nexo Championship, adding to the Hero Open he won four years earlier.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, both of his DP World Tour wins have come in Scotland – but it’s his form in Ireland that really impressed me when doing my research for this event.<\/p>\n

In his last four appearances in the Irish Open, Forrest has three top-five finishes and was third at the K Club when the venue hosted the event in 2023.<\/p>\n

It hasn’t been the most consistent of seasons for the Scotsman, but he clearly likes this event and plays well at this venue. Buoyed by a recent win, I can see him challenging at a big price.<\/p>\n

Top-10 Finish Betting Tips<\/p>\n

Top-10 Finish: John Parry (3.5pts @ +450 at BetMGM)<\/a><\/p>\n

John Parry ended a 14-year wait for a second DP World Tour title<\/a> in late 2024, claiming victory at the Mauritius Open in December, but his momentum has shown no signs of slowing as he searches for a third.<\/p>\n

Since that win, Parry has a runner-up and two top-four finishes – one of which came just three starts ago in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Having put him on my watchlist following that display, a T13th finish at the Omega European Masters last time out really caught my attention.<\/p>\n

Parry ranks 14th for SG: Tee to green this season and was second in the field in Switzerland last week for the same measure. At a very reasonable price, I back him to be in the mix again.<\/p>\n

Top-10 Finish: Angel Ayora (3.5pts @ +450 at BetMGM)<\/a><\/p>\n

Angel Ayora was someone I signposted for success at the start of this season, and while he has shown flashes of his undeniably talent – we are yet to see him convert his chances into a first DP World Tour win.<\/p>\n

After a T8th finish in Switzerland last week, following a T13th finish at the British Masters the week before, it appears everything is trending in the right direction again… so, I am ready to jump on board.<\/p>\n

The young Spaniard ranks sixth for SG: Off the tee and 17th for SG: Tee to green in 2025, so he has the ball striking skills to tackle the K Club and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him around the top-10 come Sunday.<\/p>\n

How Does The ‘Points’ Stake System Work?<\/p>\n

A point will represent different amounts of money to different people. I could bet one point, which represents $1 or \u00a31, but to someone else that point could mean $10 or \u00a310 (or $100\/\u00a3100).<\/p>\n

The stakes represent my confidence in the selection, but only you can determine how much (if any) you want to risk on any particular bet. You could also use the stakes as your own imaginary staking system – just for fun without the financial outlay.<\/p>\n

Please don’t ever spend more than you can afford and be sure to gamble responsibly.<\/p>\n
