BoyleSports has cut the odds of Tom McKibbin winning this week’s Singapore Classic into 12/1 (from 16/1) as he prepares to tee it up at Laguna National on Thursday, while Shane Lowry is among the favourites at the Valspar Championship on the PGA Tour.

The Belfast born star has lit up the fairways on the LIV tour since defecting to the Suadi-backed organisation earlier this year, carding two top-10 finishes in his last three events, with a top-25 at LIV Singapore last week ensuring he’s ready to hit the ground running.

Robert MacIntrye also arrives in Southeast Asia in scintillating form, with the world number 14 notching up a ninth-place finish in The Players Championship last week following up a tied-11th finish in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The Scotsman will take to the course in Singapore as the 6/1 favourite with McKibbin heading the chasing pack.

Stateside, Lowry is in the hunt for his first victory of 2025, with a second-place finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am behind Rory McIlroy taking the main stage on this season’s highlight reel.

The Offaly native is a 22/1 shot to overcome the likes of Tommy Fleetwood (9/1f), Xander Schauffele (14/1) and Justin Thomas (14/1) and land his fourth PGA Tour title at the Copperhead Course at Innisbruck.

Brian O’Keeffe, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said: “Tom McKibbin has made a solid start to his venture on the LIV circuit and punters are keen to have him onside as he makes a brief but eagerly anticipated return to the DP World Tour.”
