Following the excitement and drama of the first major of the season, the US Masters at Augusta, players, punters and bookmakers alike turn their attention back to the Race To Dubai. The Maybank Malaysian Open is the next event on the European Tour calendar in April as the players head to the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club in Malaysia.
From a betting perspective, it is likely to be a wide open event with plenty of value to be found in the odds as the top players in the world take a break from the tour following the exhausting nature of Augusta. Previous winners have included the likes of Vijay Singh and Lee Westwood but more recent winners have tended to include lesser lights, such as Noh Seung-Yul, Anthony Kang and Arjun Atwal, and that they are names worth bearing in mind when considering your ante-post bet.
The $2 million event has been held at the Kualur Lumpur course since 2010 and has been part of the European Tour since 1999 as it continues to spread into Asia.

| 2011 | Matteo Manassero | Italy | 272 (-16) |
| 2012 | Louis Oosthuizen | South Africa | 271 (-17) |

The latest odds will appear here when available.....
The Race To Dubai moves to China next and it is again a tournament that has tended to be dominated by the lesser lights of the European and Asian Tours in recent years.
The top players have tended to give it a miss as it falls so soon after the US Masters, which in turn means the betting is wide open and there is plenty of value about for the punter.
It is a great chance to place a golf bet and it should pay to do your research on who is in form and who has played well here in the past.....
