There is a competitive feel to the 2024 edition of the event this weekend, with Billy Horschel currently leading the betting at this stage.

The American pulled out of contention at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last weekend, but was the winner of the BMW PGA Championship prior to that appearance.

Ramus Hojgaard is one of a number of players with interesting previous form at the event. The Danish star finished a close second in the 2022 edition of the Open de France. Matt Wallace completes the leading trio in the betting.

The Englishman finished 12-under at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last weekend to take a share of 43^rd.
