Golf: Ace’s OHL Classic Tips
AFTER landing a 100-1 winner on the US Tour two weeks ago I though I was following up with an 80-1 triumph. My man Lucas Glover, who I tipped at 80-1, led the Shriners Hospital for Children's Open after three rounds, but eventually finished third. Glover played well and...
Golf: Ace’s Shriner Children’s Hospital Open Tips
THANKS for all the comments after last weekend's winners at the WGC-HBC Champions and Sanderson Farms Open. Hideki Matsuyama won at 22-1 in China and Cody Gribble collected his first PGA Tour success at a starting price of 100-1. I didn't advise the double but I know people back...
Golf: Ace’s Turkish Open Tips
THE first event of the Final Series in the Race to Dubai starts at the Regnum Carya Golf & Spa resort in Antalya, Turkey this weekend. With only three of the top 10 in the Race to Dubai taking part after security concerns you would think it’s not going...
Golf: 2322-1 Double Delights Ace
ACE VENTURER has often been described as the best golf tipster on the internet – and he just proved it. Our man topped anything he's done in the past by landing a 2322-1 double on Sunday. First he watched 22-1 chance Hideki Matsuyama romp to victory in the WGC-HSBC...

Golf: Ace’s British Masters Tips
THE British Masters rolls up to The Grove in Hertfordshire with not the greatest line-up but should still be an intriguing weekend. I played The Grove about five years ago and to be honest wasn’t that impressed but seemingly it has improved quite a bit and if the weather...
Golf: Ace’s Safeway Open Tips
THE first tournament of this season’s PGA Tour is the Safeway Open at the Silverado Resort (North Course) in California with three of the top 25 World Tour ranking players – Phil Mickelson, Paul Casey and Matt Kuchar – taking part. GIR and scrambling could be important on this course with...

Golf: Ace’s Ryder Cup Day 3 Tips
EUROPE are up against it going into the final day of the Ryder Cup after a poor afternoon session on Saturday. A 3-1 defeat means the USA lead 9.5-6.5 going into the 12 singles matches and that's a big lead. It's reflected in the prices with USA 1-5 with...
Golf: Ryder Cup Day 2 Tips
IT was a fascinating start to the Ryder Cup with USA almost out of sight in the morning foursomes before Europe clawed back to trail 5-3 overnight with some great golf in the foursomes. Darren Clarke will hope his side do better this morning – and let's face they...
Golf: Ace’s Ryder Cup Tips
IT'S been a long time coming, well it seems like it, but now it’s time for the European Ryder Cup team to step up to the plate at Hazeltine and bring the trophy home. Davis Love doesn’t seemed to have tricked up the Hazeltine course although the greens are...
Golf: Ace’s Tour Championship Tips
THIS is the 16th time the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta has hosted the Tour Championship, 10 of those as the final of FedEx Cup play-offs. With $10million up for grabs for the FedEx champion there is a lot to play for. East Lake has increased in length to...
Golf: Ace’s European Open Tips
THE Porsche European Open takes place at the Bernhard Langer-designed Beckenbauer Course at the Hartl Golf Resort, Bad Griesbach, in Germany. The course runs beside the River Rott and of course water comes into play frequently throughout the round. Also this week there has been a lot of rain...
Golf: Ace’s Italian Open Tips
WHAT a weekend that was. Two firsts (18-1 and 10-1) and a T4 (50-1) for my picks gave me about a 60pts profit and hopefully I can continue this week. With half the Ryder Cup team teeing up for the Italian Open at Golf Club Milano it will give us a...
Golf: Ace Lands 208-1 KO Blow
NOT for the first time Ace Venturer bashed the bookies with top tipping on the golf both sides of the Atlantic. He tipped Joost Luiten at 18-1 to win the KLM Open and doubled up with his old favourite Dustin Johnston to triumph in the BMW International at 10-1. And...
Golf: BMW Championship Tips
FOR the second time in five years Crooked Stick GC, north of Indianapolis, hosts the BMW Championship. When it was held here in 2012 it was Rory McIlroy who prevailed by two strokes with a 20-under total of 268. The tournament was played after a hurricane ripped through the area...
Golf: KLM Open Tips
THIS week’s KLM Open takes place for the first time at the Dutch Golf Course in Spijk and was designed by Colin Montgomerie and Ross McMurray of European Golf Design. The course opened in 2011 and is described as an inland links course and Montgomerie reckons the greens are the...
Golf: Deutsche Bank Tips
MY first thought after looking at the field was Jason Day was looking a strong favourite for the Deutsche Bank … in fact too strong at around 6-1. So I will have to forego him this week. There are 100 qualifiers for the Deutsche Bank Championship and only Masters...
Golf: The Barclays Tips
THE top 125 players in the PGA Tour rankings gather at the Black Course at Bethpage for the final Barclays sponsored Fed-Ex Playoff. The 7468-yard par 71 last hosted the Barclays in 2012 and was won by Nick Watney on 274 (10 under). Four of the 125 qualifiers have...
Golf: Made in Denmark Tips

Golf: Wyndham Championship Tips
WITH this being the last chance to make the top 125 players to take part in the Fed-Ex Cup play-offs the Wyndham Championship takes on a special meaning for those on the borderline. So this could be a real shoot-out on Sunday. The Donald Ross-designed Sedgefield course is set...
Golf: D&D Real Czech Masters Tips
THE Albatross Golf Resort in Prague is the host of the Czech Masters for the third year running. It was opened in 2010 and has also staged the Prague Masters. The track is a long 7516-yard par 72 and the rough is supposed to be penal with the greens...
Golf: Olympics Tips
MANY of the 60 golfers taking part in the Olympics don’t get a chance to represent their countries – and even the likes of the Ryder Cup is for continents. Golf has not been a part of the Olympics since 1904, quite rightly in my opinion, but now it...
Golf: John Deere Classic Tips
WITH a lot of the PGA Tour players either taking part in the Olympics or having a week off the 156 participants of the John Deere Classic have a chance to climb up the rankings. The 7268 yards, par 71, TPC Deere Run course was ranked third easiest on...
Golf: Paul Lawrie Matchplay Tips

Golf: USPGA Day 4 Tips
THE fourth round of the PGA Championship has been completed but it's touch and go whether the final round finishes tonight with the last group going out at 8.16pm BST.

Golf: USPGA Day 3 Tips
DUSTIN JOHNSON and Rory McIlroy were among two stars to bite the dust on a dramatic day 2 at Baltusrol. Tournament favourite Johnson's driven poorly and Rory's putted badly and that's cost the big guns. First-round leader Jimmy Walker has been joined at the top on nine under by Robert...
Golf: USPGA Day 2 Tips
IT was a pretty dramatic opening day at Baltusrol with two of the favourites Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy struggling badly on a day of fairly low scoring. While Jimmy Walker shot a five-under 65 to assume the lead big Dustin fired the ball over the place as he...
Golf: Mr Fixit’s USPGA tips
IT seems just yesterday when we were treated to the Duel in the Gloom at Troon. Only two weeks ago golf's finest gathered in Scotland to tee off in a tournament that will never be forgotten thanks to the final-day heroics of Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson. We've hardly had...
Golf: Ace’s USPGA Tips
IT'S the final Major of the season and having tipped the last two I'm going for a hat-trick. There have been three first-time Major winners this year – Danny Willett, Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson – so can Baltusrol produce a fourth? Baltusrol hosts its second USPGA since it was redesigned...
Golf: Ace’s Canadian Open Tips
WITH the Duel in the Sun-Wind-and Rain at Royal Troon over it’s time to move to the Glen Abbey GC for the RBC Canadian Open. I was delighted to see my 30-1 pick Henrik Stenson win The Open but on such a great final day Phil Mickelson didn't deserve...
Golf: Ace’s Senior Open Tips
WITH no tournament on the European Tour this week my attention has turned to the Senior Tour. The Senior Open Championship turns up at Carnoustie with 144 of the world’s top over-50s, including Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie and Miguel Angel Jimenez. Frenchman Jean van de Velde makes his Senior...
Golf: The Open Day 4 Tips
THE OPEN will be a straight shoot-out between Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson on the final day at Royal Troon. Stenson, one of Ace Venturer's antepost picks, is now 8-11 favourite with McBookie and William Hill. If you backed him at 30-1 as Ace advised cover on Mickelson at 6-4 with...
Golf: The Open Day 3 Tips
IT was another action-packed day at Royal Troon with the weather playing a major role in deciding who sits where in the leaderboard. Everyone sitting in the top 10 had had the best of the conditions including Phil Mickelson who leads by one from Henrik Stenson. Mickelson remains tournament favourite at...
Golf: The Open Day 2 Tips
IT was cracking first day at Royal Troon with Phil Mickelson coming within a whisker of a record 62. The popular American's birdie putt at the last lipped out so he had to settle for an eight-under 63 which equalled the lowest score in a Major. Conditions will be...
Golf: The Open Day 1 Tips
MYSELF and Ace have posted outright tips and I've picked out a couple of match bets for day one. Picking winners of twoballs and threeballs is always risky because players are not playing against each other – they're playing the course. There's nothing one player can do to stop...
Golf: Ace’s Open Tips
THE good and the great of golf turn up at Royal Troon this week for the 145th Open Championship. The golf club has hosted this competition eight times, the first being in 1923, and it hasn’t got any easier since then. Signature hole is the Postage Stamp and although...
Golf: Mr Fixit’s Open Tips

Golf: BMW International Tips
VENUE for the BMW International Open is the Gut Larchenhof, Cologne and players who took part at Oakmont last weekend will be pleased to hear he greens are a bit slower but not by much. Accuracy off the tee could be a factor as the landing areas are quite tight but hitting...
Golf: Quicken Loans National Tips
DUSTIN JOHNSON beat all the odds and the USGA to win the US Open at the weekend and justify my faith in him. There has been a lot said on social media and in the press on the controversy and I’m on Dustin’s side. I don’t think the USGA would...
Golf: Ace’s US Open Tips
OAKMONT, rated as the toughest course in America, hosts the US Open for an unprecedented ninth time this week. It was built 112 years ago and is unforgiving as industrialist Henry C Fownes, who designed it, believed a poor shot should be penalised. As per usual the United States...
Golf: FedEx St Jude Classic Tips
THE TPC Southwind, which this week hosts the 59th edition of the FedEx St Jude Classic, is one of the most challenging par 70s on the PGA Tour. It was interesting to read that not one of the top 11 finishers last year were in the top 10 for...
Golf: Lyoness Open Tips
THERE'S not a great field here this week for the the Lyoness Open at the par 72, 7417-yard Diamond Golf Course, Alzenbrugg. This is the seventh year in a row this tournament has been played at the beautiful Austrian course. Greens in regulation, driving accuracy, scrambling and putting, in fact...
Golf: Nordea Masters Tips
THE host for this week’s Nordea Masters is the Robert Trent Jones-designed Stadium Course, at Bro Hof Slott, Stockholm which is now ranked No.2 in Europe, outside the UK. With large bunkers, bigger greens and more water, as well as the wind, to contend with this could turn out...
Golf: The Memorial Tournament Tips

Golf: Ace’s BMW PGA Championship Tips
RUMOUR has it that more pints than putts are being sunk in Northern Europe on Mr Fixit's “Golf Tour” but that hasn't stopped his good friend Ace Venturer from posting his tips ahead of the BMW PGA Championship. Let's hope he's been inspired by the play of his fellow...
Golf: Ace’s AT&T Byron Nelson Classic Tips

Golf: Ace’s Irish Open Tips
THE Irish Open moves around every year and this time it is being staged on the Palmer Ryder Cup Course, The K Club, County Kildare. Ace Venturer says: “The 72-par course is parkland with plenty of water to avoid. For this great track, which hosted the Ryder Cup 10...
Golf: Mauritius Open Tips
THIS week the European Tour travels to the beautiful island of Mauritius for the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open at the Four Seasons Golf course in Anahita, Beau Champs.

Golf: Players’ Championship Tips

Golf: Trophee Hassan II Tips
THE European Tour moves from China to the 7487 yard par-72 Red Course in Dar-Es-Salaam, Morocco for the Trophee Hassan II. It’s not the greatest field and quite difficult picking a winner here but I have to stick with Frenchman Alexander Levy,who has travelled from Portugal to China and back...
Golf: Wells Fargo Championship Tips
ANOTHER week when the weather played havoc on the golf course with the Zurich Classic reduced to 54 holes in New Orleans. Unfortunately Patton Kizzire was just one shot off a place for me but didn’t do anything wrong and I will watch for him the next time he is...

FOR the second week running the European Tour stays in China for the Volvo China Open. The par-72 Topwin Golf and Country Club in Beijing hosts the tournament for the first time and I am having to decide on whether to pick guys who have rested up over the...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s Zurich Classic Tips

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Shenzhen International Tips

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Valero Open Tips
THE TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) in Texas has hosted the Valero Open since 2010. There were only 10 players under par last year and the scoring average was 74.52 which was the highest on Tour. There is a good field for this week including last week’s winner Branden...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s RBC Heritage Day 4 Tips
ACE had two winners and a draw with his twoball selections yesterday so let's see if he can make it a full house tonight. He says: “Luke Donald (21-20) and Charley Hoffman (11-10) both saw off their playing partners to make up for my other selections in the RBC...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s RBC Heritage Day 3 Tips
MY outright tips for the RBC Heritage haven't performed well with Paul Casey and Matthew Fitzpatrick both missing the cut. Kevin Kisner at least made the third round but is struggling at two over. Of the two balls today I like the look of Luke Donald against Patton Kizzire....
Golf: Ace Venturer’s Spanish Open Tips
AFTER the magnificent memories of The Masters some of the stars of Augusta are back on European soil at the Spanish Open in Valderrama. I looked closely at Soren Kjeldsen but his exploits may have taken a lot out of him although he played superbly and should start climbing back...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s RBC Heritage Tips
AFTER a great Masters Paul Casey will be on a high for the RBC Heritage this week at the Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina. One of two players who had no bogeys in the final round last week – winner Danny Willett was the other – Casey is on...
Golf: US Masters Tips Day 4
JORDAN SPIETH allowed the field to come back to him by dropping three shots in the final two holes yesterday so it's set up to be a thrilling final round of The Masters. Ace Venturer says: “The wind played havoc again yesterday with only four players making sub-par rounds. The...
Golf: US Masters Tips Day 3

Golf: US Masters Tips Day 2
IT was a pretty sensational day at the US Masters from the sublime of Jordan Spieth to the ridiculous Ernie Els. Spieth continued where he left off last year with a super 66 to lead by two and is now clear 15-8 favourite at Betway. My main antepost pick...
Golf: US Masters Tips Day 1

Golf: Ace Venturer’s US Masters Tips
WE all know about the Augusta course, the azaleas and tree-lined and undulating fairways. The manicured greens – in fact everywhere you look is green. I’ve read all the form books and know the players in good nick and who plays well at Augusta. So it’s easy to pick...
Golf: Mr Fixit’s US Masters Tips
JASON DAY is back at world No.1 and in perfect position to shoot for his first Green Jacket. Last year Jordan Spieth ran away with the title with a dazzling display of precision putting no one could live with. It was brilliant to watch on my first trip to...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s Houston Open Tips
THERE'S just one week to go before The Masters and time for some players to hone their game. Water is in play for some of the holes at the Golf Course of Houston but the fairways are wide and with little rough. Greens will be fast and GIR, scrambling and...
