The 2017 BMW SA (South African) Open is here, kicking off the 2017 portion of the European Tour schedule, which has started in recent years with co-sanctioned events with the Sunshine Tour.
Rory McIlroy is making a rare appearance in South Africa to start the year, and he's the obvious betting favorite this week. The FedEx Cup champion is off at +225 betting odds, of 9-to-4 odds, to start the week.
Next best is South African Brandon Stone, who is at 12-to-1 betting odds. Andy Sullivan is the only other player below +2000, starting at 14-to-1 this week.
