Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Irish Open (Euro Tour-Pro Pack Members)
OVERVIEW
The premier event to be betting and playing DFS is on the European Tour this week as we have the Irish Open kicking off on Wednesday. Mount Juliet was scheduled to host last year’s edition, but due to the C-19 pandemic it was postponed, then Galgorm Castle hosted the fall version of the event and Mount Juliet was pushed back to this year. The event has since lost it’s place in the Rolex Series, but because of it’s place on the schedule we will be seeing a much better field than what we got last fall as many players are either already across the pond getting ready for the Open Championship or are on their way and will be playing this week. Mount Juliet hasn’t hosted an Irish Open since 1995 where Sam Torrance beat Stuart Cage & Howard Clark (who???) in a playoff. The year prior Bernie Langer beat Bob Allenby & John Daly by one and the year before that Sir Nick Faldo beat Jose Maria Olazabal in a playoff. None of this is helpful information for this week, but I figured I’d share. Oh, Tiger Woods (yes, that one) won here when a WGC event was held back in the early 2000’s so if you see anyone in this field that has a game resembling his, maybe play him.
