2025 Australian Open Golf Tips & Predictions

We have expert betting tips for the Australian Open this week, where Rory McIlroy currently headlines golf betting markets at $6.

There is a good blend of PGA, DP World Tour, and LIV players in the field, which makes the Australian Open one of the must-see tournaments this summer.

Best Bet

It’s tough to leave McIlroy out of golf picks considering the odds. It’s a similar price to what he pays to win major golf tournaments, and this is a much weaker field.

The Northern Irishman hasn’t played over the last two weeks, but he won the DP World Tour Championship, and that’s good enough form to recommend for the 2025 Australian Open at Royal Melbourne.

It’s a course that should suit his playing style, and McIlroy could overpower the field, especially if he drops some putts on the quick greens.

Next Best

We’re not sure how Ryan Fox is at longer odds than the likes of Cam Smith, so we’re snapping up the value.

Fox won twice on the PGA Tour this year, so he’s on fire, and although he couldn’t finish off a good start at the Australian PGA Championship, it was another good result for the New Zealand golfer.

Getting $31 for a player with loads of experience playing in Australia is good value, and he’s an excellent winning hope.

Best Value Bet

We have backed Daniel Hillier a few times this season, and he’s yet to let punters down. It has been an excellent end to the year for the Kiwi, who keeps pumping out top 10 finishes.

He had another good week at the Australian PGA, and he has been making some long putts, which always helps when shooting low numbers. He reads greens well, which is needed around Royal Melbourne.

We priced Hillier at around $24 given his recent form, so getting $34 is a lovely quote from bookmakers.

Best Roughie

Caleb Surratt is playing well recently, including a top performance on the Asian Tour a couple of weeks ago.

The LIV player often goes under the radar, which is due to his lack of international wins, but his confidence levels are high, and there are much worse players at $61 with golf betting markets.

We recommend having something on him, and he can get off to fast starts and be on the first page of the leaderboard come Sunday.

Top 10

Coming off a win last week is David Puig, who is a good chance to record a top 10 finish at Royal Melbourne.

The Spanish 23-year-old was a big signing for the LIV Tour, and he’s starting to deliver on his promise. He defeated a good field last week, and he should be right around the mark again.

$2.30 is a good price from bookmakers.
