BEST BET
HAOTONG LI
Haotong Li has been airborne this season and is a deserved favourite this week.
He won the Qatar Masters in February while he has Top 25 finishes in six of his last nine starts.
His iron game is in elite nick, ranking second in Strokes Gained: Approach.
BEST VALUE
JOOST LUITEN
We are seeing a rejuvenation of form from popular Dutch legend Joost Luiten.
He has four Top 20s in his last eight starts including a third in the Indian Open.
He ranks fourth in Strokes Gained: Approach so his iron game has been the reason behind his improvement.
Finished Top 18 in the last two British Masters.
CALLUM HILL
Scot who ranks 10th in Putts Per GIR, a huge guide.
He also finished T-4 in the 2023 British Masters.
He won back in March, so his form can’t be questioned and looks a very big price this week.
BEST ROUGHIES
MARCUS ARMITAGE
Englishman Marcus Armitage has the short game and temperament to succeed here.
He ranks fourth in Scrambling and seventh in Bogey Avoidance while he ranks 14th in Putts Per GIR.
He has finished Top 5 in two of his last six tournaments.
MARCUS KINHULT
It has been a while between drinks for Swede Marcus Kinhult, who has just one Top 15 finish in his last nine starts.
Course form is big though and he has finished Top 30 here in both starts.
His form on the correlation courses is good too with Top 25 finishes in the British Masters and British BMW PGA Championship.
Ranking seventh in Strokes Gained: Putting.
TOP ENGLISH
