MCILROY READY TO REIGN DOWN UNDER

It would be a great end to a momentous year if McIlroy could add another of the world’s highest regarded courses to his list of 2025 successes.

The World No.2 (above) is 9/2 to win and considering he was 3/1 to win the recent DP World Tour Championship in Dubai against an arguably much deeper field, that looks a good value bet.

Mcllroy ultimately had to settle for second place to Matt Fitzpatrick in Dubai but can go one better here.
