The DP World Tour stops off in Aarhus this week for the Danish Golf Championship, which will be held at a new venue for the first time for the tenth anniversary of the tournament.
Home hero Rasmus Hojgaard will defend his crown this week, but there's lots of value elsewhere in the market in what should be a competitive event.
Joe Dean - 40/1
The phrase 'wide open' was surely invented for an event like this week's Danish Golf Championship.
The Hojgaard twins, Nicolai and defending champion Rasmus, head the betting, closely followed by multiple DP World Tour winners Thorbjorn Olesen and Bernd Wiesberger.
It's easy enough to like the four of them, but none stand out as must-bet material on a course they arguably won't know any better than the rest of the field, with the tournament coming to the picturesque Lübker Golf Resort, just north of Aarhus, for the first time.
Dozens of decent tour pros will fancy their chances this week, among them Dean, who is quite simply living the dream.
Dean is the classic rags-to-riches story, a player who, 12 months ago, was driving a delivery truck for Morrisons while trying to win a Tour card.
Having gotten the card, he couldn't take part in any of the early DP World Tour events because he couldn't afford to jet off to South Africa or Mauritius.
The Yorkshireman finally got out on Week Six at the Qatar Masters and promptly missed the cut.
It would have been easy to lose hope, but rather than feel sorry for himself, Dean has emerged as a big-hitting threat on any course with a string of performances which have got him to the verge of the world's top 200 and to No.31 on the Race to Dubai.
It was a second-place finish at the Kenya Open, which proved to himself he could cut it at this level, and he produced more top tens at the Soudal Open and KLM Open.
He qualified for The Open Championship at Royal Troon and finished T25, ruing one bad day on the Friday when he carded 77. Other than that he played well, scored well and didn't look out of place.
Last week, he shot 67 to sign off at the Czech Masters, where his ten under total was only good enough for T43, but he very rarely plays in successive weeks, and with good golf under his belt in Prague, expect Dean to kick on.
Dean's card is safe, a place in the Race to Dubai within touching distance, and he has a solid all-round game now, which has earned him top-tens and can next produce a win.
Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen - 45/1
Inevitably, there are a string of Danes teeing it up for their national championships this week, with the Hojgaards sure to grab the headlines and the limelight.
But there are several other home-grown stars who will fancy their chances of going well, among them Neergaard-Petersen.
The 25-year-old, world No.181, is enjoying a fabulous year on the Challenge Tour and won't look out of place on the DP World Tour.
Indeed, he announced himself as a huge prospect on the DP Tour back in 2023 at the BMW International Open, where he shot 69-67 to be one off the lead at halfway, eventually coming home T7.
Neergaard-Petersen enjoyed an astonishing spring when he produced two Challenge Tour wins - in Kolkata and the UAE - plus top tens at the Abu Dhabi Challenge, the Challenge d'Espana and the Danish Golf Challenge.
Results since then have been mixed, but he shot four rounds in the 60s for a top-20 finish at last week's Finnish Challenge, which should lift his spirits.
Brandon Robinson-Thompson - 55/1
England's Brandon Robinson-Thompson is another arrival from the Challenge Tour, where he was victorious at the Scottish Challenge in Aberdeen two weeks ago.
This will be a sixth straight week of competition but with figures of 3-1-6 over the last three of those, he's certainly a man in form.
The Isle of Wight golfer has won seven times on various tours since the middle of 2022, so he isn't afraid of winning or excelling in good company.
