Sky Bet offer 12/1 that Ben Coley tips winner of golf's TOUR Championship


Our red-hot golf tipster Ben Coley has three selections for the TOUR Championship and it's 12/1 with Sky Bet that he finds the winner.

He's enjoying a remarkable run of success this year - showing over 300 points of profit to recommended stakes - and will be looking to add to his haul this week.

His headline selection is Sergio Garcia (25/1 with Sky Bet), Ben argued: " All things considered, he looks a solid alternative to the more fancied runners after controversially sneaking into the field on Sunday night to earn a return to a course which plays to his strengths."

Next up is Matt Kuchar (22/1 Sky Bet).

"If keeping the ball in play turns out to be the best avenue to success, then Matt Kuchar should go really well," he wrote. "There would perhaps be a degree of poetic justice to a win for Kuchar at the expense of points leader Jordan Spieth, who so cruelly denied him a breakthrough major championship with golf from the gods at Royal Birkdale.

"That was confirmation that Kuchar is back to his best, having definitely taken time to get comfortable since John Wood took over the bag, and while a post-Open dip was understandable, fifth place in last week's BMW Championship puts him in a great place to challenge again.

"Indeed, Kuchar happened to finish fifth one week prior to his last PGA Tour win and since he completed his return from the wilderness with victory in New York eight years ago, every stroke play title has been earmarked by a prior top-15 finish."

The final selection is 100/1 outsider Kyle Stanley of whom he added: "He has a definite touch of class about him and should be well-suited to the venue. What's more, he produced one of the best putting rounds of his career in the first event of the Playoffs after a change in set-up, and has been mid-pack with the flat stick in both starts since. For a player who is typically among the very worst, that's a definite step forward.

"Speculative it may be, but the TOUR Championship honours' board does not preclude someone of Stanley's stature from causing an upset. This course fights against golf's move towards a younger model and while not yet 30, Stanley has patience beyond his years. Perhaps we'll see that over the weekend."
