Alfred Dunhill Championship Betting Tips: A Popular Pick Could Claim His Maiden Title On Home Soil

Darren Fichardt hitting a shot at Royal Johannesburg.

It's a second consecutive week in South Africa, this time for the Alfred Dunhill Championship.

After a red hot run of tipping from the expert panel, it turned out to be a barren week at the Australian Open but we are fired up and ready to start again with a winner at Royal Johannesburg.

The tournament has shifted from its usual spot at Leopard Creek, so who do our panel of betting experts fancy to get the job done? Let's find out...

Alfred Dunhill Championship Betting Tips: Expert Panel Picks

Pick One: Angel Ayora (+1200) To Win @ BetMGM

The young Spaniard is playing great golf at the moment with six top-10s in his last seven starts including four in a row. Ayora came through the HotelPlanner Tour last year and has stepped up well on the DP World Tour so far this campaign.

He is yet to win but should be there or thereabouts (I am hoping), especially as he has good form after finishing T5th last year.

Pick Two: Dan Bradbury (+3300) To Win @ BetMGM

The Englishman and two-time DP World Tour winner comes into the week in great form after a T2 at the Nedbank last time out, which was statistically the second-best result of his career.

Interestingly, four of his six best career weeks have come in South Africa, including a win in Joburg. He clearly loves this part of the world and given his form last week and pedigree as a proven winner, I like his chances for another title.

Pick One: Jayden Schaper (+1200) To Win @ BetMGM

The South African is playing some quality golf right now, highlighted by a runner-up finish at last week's Nedbank Golf Challenge, where Schaper carded rounds of 66 and 68 over the weekend to finish a single shot back of Kristoffer Reitan.

Prior to that result, he finished inside the top 25 of the DP World Tour Championship and Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, as well as T6th at the DP World India Championship and T5th at the Open de Espana.

He's in-form, continuing on home soil and is quite eye-catching odds given these two factors.

Pick Two: Zander Lombard To Win (+8000) @ BetMGM

I've tried to find value with my second pick, and that comes in the form of another South African, Zander Lombard.

At Q-School last month, he shot an incredible 37-under to win by 13 and, although his DP World Tour form wasn't the best prior to that because of injury, he is returning to his home country and will likely be itching to make a good start to his 2026 season. It is a long shot, but he could crack the top 10 on a track that will suit his game

Pick One: Jayden Schaper (+1200) To Win @ BetMGM

Schaper arrives off the back of a runner-up finish at the Nedbank last week and I can't seem to find a reason to oppose him this week.

He ranked 2nd for driving accuracy last week, 3rd for Strokes Gained: Tee To Green, 5th for SG: Around The Green and 8th for SG:P Putting. That demonstrates just how well he is playing throughout the bag, and despite being one of the betting favourites I really fancy him to win a first DP World title this week... on home soil no less.

Pick Two: Dan Bradbury (+3300) To Win @ BetMGM

For my second pick I am punting for another of the runner-up finishers from last week, this time with Dan Bradbury. Last week he seemed to do everything right, ranking towards the top for both driving distance (5th) and driving accuracy (13th).

The Englishman also ranked 1st for SG: Tee To Green and gained strokes with his short game - so at a juicy price I can't really see what's not to like with another start in South Africa.
