The Italian Open has been won by some big names over the last decade including Tyrell Hatton, Frankie Molinari and Nicolai Hojgaard as well as the top selection for this week.
Best Bet
Austrian Bernd Wiesberger won this event in 2019 and in his current form, he can win again. He has finished Top 25 in eight of 10 tournaments since returning to the DP World Tour including a T-2 and T-7 in his last two tournaments. Ranks 5th in Strokes Gained: Approach and 6th in Par 4 Scoring.
Mid-Tier Bet
South African Zander Lombard has seen his form fall away a little of late but he looks a big chance this week. He ranks 8th in Par 4 Scoring, 8th in Birdies and 11th in Putting Average. Huge upside to his game.
Value Bet
Underrated Spaniard who is right in the mi this week. Ranks 7th in Strokes Gained: Approach, 10th in Putting Average and 14th in Birdies.
Longshot Bet
Veteran Thomas Aiken is playing some very good golf of late and can feature at the top end of the leaderboard. Finished T-7 in Holland and now has five straight Top 25s. Ranks 3rd in Driving Accuracy, 4th in Strokes Gained: Approach and 7th in Par 4 Scoring.
