Im Sung-jae to win Top Korean (0.1\/1 odds from BetVictor)<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
An interesting market for the American Express is betting on which player from each nationality will finish the highest. It\u2019s a cracking way to find extra betting opportunities. Take Im Sung-Jae, for example. While we don\u2019t reckon he\u2019ll take the win, given his tendency to fall short in the big events, we do think he\u2019ll have better results than any other Korean player. He\u2019s far more consistent than Si Woo Kim and Kyung-Hoon Lee<\/strong>, who often struggle to make the cut. Im\u2019s regularly in the top five, so even at 0.1\/1 odds, it\u2019s a solid, low risk bet.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\nAdditional American Express Golf Betting Insights<\/h2>\n \n\n

\n Official World Golf Ranking: 68<\/em><\/p>\n If you're looking for American Express golf tips that go beyond the usual suspects, Ben Griffin is the one to consider, particularly for a top 30 finish<\/strong>. He\u2019s been playing a blinder lately with a top 15 position at the RSM Classic, an 8th-place finish at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, and a top 24 at the WWT Championship. After a brief break from the game during the Covid pandemic, at only 28, he has bounced back with runner-up results at events like the LECOM Suncoast Classic, the Astara Golf Championship and the RBC Canadian Open. With his impressive return to form, Griffin's one you'd be daft to overlook.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Patrick Cantley<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Official World Golf Ranking: 11<\/em><\/p>\n Patrick Cantlay\u2019s journey from highly touted amateur to one of the golf\u2019s most dependable pros has been a real spectacle. Born in Long Beach, California, in 1992, he was already making waves in the amateur scene, spending an astonishing 55 weeks as the world\u2019s number one<\/strong>. Since turning professional, he\u2019s bagged eight major wins, including the prestigious 2021 FedEx Cup. Whether it\u2019s at the Memorial Tournament, the BMW Championship or the Tour Championship, Cantlay\u2019s ability to take on all types of courses with a steady hand and sharp mind has been remarkable. A proper special talent, this one!<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sam Burns<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Official World Golf Ranking: 20<\/em><\/p>\n Sam Burns, 28, has quickly established himself as one of golf's rising stars. With five PGA Tour victories under his belt<\/strong>, including the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, Burns has proven his ability to perform under pressure. Known for combining power with precision, he has excelled on courses that demand both. Notably, his victory at the 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge, where he made a stunning comeback from a seven-stroke deficit, solidified his credentials. Burns' consistency makes him well worth considering, particularly on courses where his approach game and putting can shine.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Im Sung-jae<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Official World Golf Ranking: 19<\/em><\/p>\n Im\u2019s had a solid career so far, with standout wins like The Honda Classic in 2020 and the Shriners Children\u2019s Open in 2021<\/strong>, showing he\u2019s got the chops when it matters. His consistency on tour\u2019s generally impressive, but 2024 didn\u2019t quite live up to the hype, with his usual form eluding him at times. He failed to get the job done, despite coming close on numerous occasions. That said, he's still one to watch in 2025 \u2013 he'll be hoping to prove he's not just a good hand, but a winner.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nick Dunlap<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Official World Golf Ranking: 32<\/em><\/p>\n At last year's American Express, Nick Dunlap made history by becoming the first amateur in 33 years to win a PGA Tour event<\/strong>. His performance was nothing short of spectacular, with a record-tying 12-under 60 in the third round, giving him a three-shot lead heading into the final day. Dunlap\u2019s win wasn\u2019t just about the numbers though\u2014it was a massive statement about his potential. After turning pro, he didn\u2019t quite hit the ground running, struggling to adjust to the big leagues, but he bounced back with a second victory at the Barracuda Championship. His talent is undeniable. And if he can fine-tune his game in 2025, he could be a force to witness for years to come.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Justin Thomas<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Official World Gold Ranking: 21<\/em><\/p>\n A seasoned pro with two major championships, five PGA Tour victories, and even a stint as World Number One<\/strong>, Justin Thomas has proven time and again he\u2019s one of the best in the game \u2013 and one of the most resilient. We\u2019ve seen Thomas bounce back from failure several times in his career, most spectacularly with his nerve-shredding 2022 PGA Championship win. His entire 2024 season can be seen as a rehabilitation from a disappointing 2023, which saw a missed cut at the Masters and an off-form performance at the Ryder Cup. Steady improvements culminated in a 3rd spot at the Hero World Challenge, and there\u2019s no doubt he\u2019ll be looking to complete his re-emergence as a top-tier talent with a strong showing at the 2025 American Express.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n A Deep Dive into La Quinta Country Club: Course Analysis for Punters\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n La Quinta Country Club is a par-72<\/strong> with a 7,060-yard layout<\/strong>, known for its narrow fairways, tight greens and strategic water hazards.
