Cazoo Open 2022: Preview, betting tips & how to watch

The DP World Tour is in Wales this week, for the Cazoo Open. Celtic Manor will play host to the event that is once again supported by Gareth Bale.

This event wasn’t played from 2015 to 2019, but returned in 2020 as the ISPS HANDA Wales Open, as it had been previously. 

This year, however, will be the second time it has been played as the Cazoo Open supported by Gareth Bale. Since its inception in 2000, the event has never strayed from Celtic Manor, the 2010 Ryder Cup venue.

Bale first supported the event in 2021, and will this year once again lend his support. Last year, it was Spaniard Nacho Elvira who came out on top, winning his maiden tour victory over Justin Harding in a playoff.

This year, the Cazoo Open has attracted a strong field of European players, with plenty of home interest in the event. Ewen Ferguson is in the field, as well as Welsh star Jamie Donaldson and on-form Scot Grant Forrest.

Let’s take a look at all the details ahead of the event…
