The Sweet Spot | Dubai Desert Classic & American Express | Golf betting tips

Don't miss the latest episode of The Sweet Spot, the weekly golf tipping podcast from the Racing Post, where ace golf tipster Steve Palmer joins Jack Reeve to deliver his best bets for two great tournaments on the DP World Tour and PGA Tour.

It's a star-studded week on both circuits as Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood prepare to go head-to-head for the second event running at the Dubai Desert Classic while world number one Scottie Scheffler is one of a number of big names teeing it up in The American Express in California.

McIlroy and Scheffler dominate the markets for their respective events but Steve is looking elsewhere for value starting in Dubai, where he fancies a Sweet Spot favourite to upstage the big guns. In the US, our golf expert has five to follow in this three-course California contest including a consistent Korean with a rock-solid American Express record. 

The Sweet Spot team also take the time to reflect on last week's events – the Dubai Invitational which saw Fleetwood pip McIlroy at the 72nd hole and the Sony Open, where Grayson Murray prevailed in a three-man playoff.
