It's the European Tour's flagship event this week held at the stunning Harry Colt West course on the Wentworth Estate, not many people know that Colt also designed the East Course, which is a course I really enjoy playing. Ernie Els made some changes to the West course between 2005 – 2010, which were not received with universal appraisal.

The clubhouse was originally known as Wentworth house in the 19th century and was the home to the brother-in-law of the Duke of Wellington, it was then sold to a Spanish exile by the name of Count Ramon Cabrera in 1850. After his death his wife purchased some of the surrounding land to form what become known as the Wentworth Estate.

In 1912 builder WG Tarrant acquired the developing rights for the Estate and based on his St Georges Hill model commissioned Harry Colt to design a course around the Wentworth house. Tarrant then developed the large houses that you see on the estate today. And in an echo of today’s financial climate, development of Wentworth Estate ground to a halt due to the Depression of the late 1920s.

In 1931 the banks asked for repayment of a large debenture that had been taken out, Surprise Surprise Tarrant was forced to declare bankruptcy. The ownership of Wentworth Estates Ltd came under the control of Sir Lindsay Parkinson & Co Ltd.

My tips to Win:

With a win, two runner-up finishes in this event and coming into this week on the back of a runner-up finishes at the Irish Open Rory McIlroy 6/1 – with SkyBet – will be the man to beat this week.

A man who loves teeing it up and Wentworth is Shane Lowry 16/1 – with BetFred – Shane has played in this event fourteen times and had a win, a runner-up and nine other Top 20 finishes. Lowry had a Top 20 finish at the weekend at the Irish Open and I expect him to be in one of the final pairings come Sunday

Finishing his PGA Tour season with eight Top 25 finishes from his last ten starts was Aaron Rai 25/1 – with BetFred – who had a win and a runner-up in that run to make it through to the Tour Championship. Aaron had a runner-up finish here last year and will be looking to go one better this week

Each-way tips:

Justin Rose 40/1 – with VBet – must be desperate to get his name on the BMW PGA Championship trophy and has finished in the runner-up position on two occasions. Justin had a runner-up finish at the Open Championship and a sixth-place finish at the PGA Championship, but will be looking to be right in the thick of it again come Sunday

A past champion of this event is Matteo Manassero 40/1 – with BetFred – who at that time back in 2013 it looked like it would be only a matter of when, not if, he would pick up his first Major Championship. Matteo’s struggles have been well documented, but to see him back challenging and winning and coming into this week on the back of a third-place finish at the Irish Open is great for European golf. Could things about to go full circle?

Outside tips:

Someone we have tipped regularly over the last few weeks and arrives at Wentworth on the back of his fourth Top 15 finish in his last four starts is Alex Fitzpatrick 66/1 – with Bet365 – and three of those finishes have been inside the Top 10. I expect Alex to be in the thick of it again this week

Longer odds:

Try Aaron Cockerill 250/1 – with BetVictor

As always good luck
