FedEx Open de France 2025 – Betting Preview
With the Ryder Cup just a week away, the DP World Tour heads to Paris for the Open de France. We’ll look at this week’s golf from a betting angle and highlight a few value plays.
Course
Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche, Paris
Par 71 | 6,977 yards (6379 Metres)
In addition to hosting this event back in 1982, Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche staged the Trophée Lancôme from 1970–2003. Designed by Fred Hawtree (1959), it’s a classic, tree-lined parkland layout west of Paris near the Château de Versailles. Fairways are relatively generous but framed by mature trees, the course is rolling, with deep, strategic bunkering and a couple of severely sloped greens.
Historically the greens have been set around 11 on the Stimpmeter (with the 8th and 15th kept a touch slower due to their contours). The bentgrass putting surfaces are well-guarded, so precise approach play, tidy bunker work and controlled pace putting are at a premium. Power helps, but this is more “position and plot” than “bomb and gouge”.
Field & Prices
With many Ryder Cuppers resting, the field lacks some of the very top names, though a few PGA Tour players add depth. Early prices have Harry Hall around 10.00, Corey Conners 11.00, Jordan Smith 21.00, Min Woo Lee 23.00, Michael Kim 23.00.

Selections
Adrien Saddier – 26.00 (each-way)
Saddier arrives off two eye-catching weeks, backing up a strong Irish Open with a runner-up at the BMW PGA. Saint-Nom rewards controlled tee-to-green play and a confident putter on sloping, well-protected surfaces, both boxes he’s been ticking lately. With home comforts and current form aligned, he looks a solid EW play at the number.
Harry Hall – 10.00 (each-way)
Hall’s 13th at Wentworth followed a late-season PGA Tour surge (two top-20s, a top-25 and a top-10 in his last four starts there). On a course where holing from mid-range and managing pace on tilted greens is vital, one of the PGA Tour’s better putters should be right at home. He doesn’t need to overpower Saint-Nom as fairway-first, sharp wedges and a hot flatstick can win here. Short in the market, but still makes sense EW if you want the safety.
Ángel Ayora – 26.00 (each-way)
Ignore last week’s middling finish (T54) and focus on the prior burst, a top-5 and a top-10 in the two events before. His recent ball-striking upswing and improved scrambling are useful traits on a course that punishes missed spots around the green. In a slightly thinner field, he has enough form to be in the mix come Sunday.
I promised our 4th and final selection would be a big price
Lucas Bjerregaard – 251.00 (each-way)
Bjerregaard feels like one of the forgotten men of World Golf but he has shown flashes of his best golf again in recent months, and a return to a classic European parkland layout could play to his strengths. A two-time DP World Tour winner, including the 2018 Alfred Dunhill Links, Bjerregaard is at his best when he keeps the driver in check and leans on his crisp iron play. While consistency has sometimes been an issue, he has the experience and pedigree to contend in this kind of field, and his ability to roll in streaks of birdies makes him a dangerous outsider if he finds rhythm early in the week.
