World Cup Of Golf Tips: Germany

The World Cup Of Golf returns to its traditional team format this year with 72 holes of stroke play comprising two rounds of four-ball (better ball) and two rounds of foursomes (alternate shot). Given the unique nature of this event it’s not one to go mad about but Germany are worth a speculative wager.

Alex Cejka and Stephen Jaeger know each other from time spent on the Web.com Tour and although both have progressed onto better things they’ve kept in touch.

There is a 19-year difference between the pair but their games are similar and that should help. Both plot their way around the course relying on accuracy and excellent short games but also have the ability to go very low. Stephan Jaeger hit the headlines by shooting 58 at the Ellie Max Classic in July.

Alex Cejka brings a vast amount of experience and playing for his country in Rio (finished T21) means he will understand the significance of this type of event.

In a tournament where anything could happen it makes sense to have a longshot onside and Germany fit the bill at 125/1 with Sky Bet (1/4 odds; top-4 finish).
