2025 FedEx Open de France betting tips: Our expert’s top picks in Paris

Expert selected FedEx Open de France betting tips from Today's Golfer.

Tom Jacobs reveals his FedEx Open de France betting tips ahead of the DP World Tour event from Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Bretèche.

With Luke Donald’s dozen jetting off to New York State this week for the 45th Ryder Cup at the formidable Bethpage Black, the FedEx Open de France is wide open.

For the first time since 2001, the oldest national open in Continental Europe moves from its spiritual Le Golf National home to Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Bretèche, a venue last used for the tournament in 1982, when Seve Ballesteros won the second of his four titles.

England’s Dan Bradbury took the honors last time around, edging past Sam Bairstow, Thorbjørn Olesen, Yannik Paul, and Jeff Winther by a shot to win his second DP World Tour title on 16-under.

Before revealing who I’m backing this week, here’s everything else worth knowing…

2025 FedEx Open de France betting tips

The Longshot: Oihan Guillamoundeguy 90/1 with bet365

Oihan Guillamoundeguy is more than just a complicated name to spell; he’s a fantastic young talent who looks likely to break through at this level sooner rather than later.

At 20 years old, he has time on his side, but he doesn’t strike me as the patient type, having already secured his first Challenge Tour win this season. Since then, he’s finished 4th, 3rd, 7th, and 17th, showing that he can string results together when in form.

Sure, this is a step up for the youngster, but he made the cut on debut in this event back in 2022 and was well placed at the halfway stage. In what could have been an overwhelming week, the Frenchman was 12th after 36 holes, and while he did fall away over the weekend, he showed his ability early on, and if he finds himself in a similar stage at the halfway mark this time around, he should have the confidence to kick on.

He will be playing on the DP World Tour next season, as he currently ranks 3rd on the Road to Mallorca rankings on the Hotel Planner Tour thanks to his win, two 3rd place finishes, and five more top 10s. Now is the time for him to settle in, when grabbing opportunities like this, before playing his first full season at the top level. Contending in this event will give him all the confidence in the world going into a huge season next year, and I am confident he’s capable.

Eight straight top 20 finishes for a 20-year-old is eye-catching no matter what the level, and he certainly looks the type who can step up and emulate the success of countryman, Martin Couvra, who has already won at this level. He will also surely be inspired by the form of Adrien Saddier, and with some great form under his belt, I think he can threaten the top of the leaderboard this weekend. 

The Outsider: Guido Migliozzi – 90/1 with bet365

While Guido Migliozzi may well be disappointed that Le Golf National is under renovation, given he’s won there in the past, his current form suggests his game could translate to a new course, especially when no one else has the upper hand.

This is a new course to almost everyone in the field, so rather than trawling through years of course form, I am more interested in players who like this event in general and are in strong form.

Migliozzi ticks both boxes as he’s finished 1st and 18th in this event in the past, and has now made four cuts in a row for the first time this season. On top of making a fourth cut in a row, the Italian continued his good ball striking form, after leading the field in SG Approach last week at Wentworth, while also ranking 7th in SG Tee to Green. He didn’t drive the ball well last week overall, and that was his downfall, but he did lead the field in that department on day one, before losing strokes every other day. This shows the upside he has off the tee if he can get it working, and I hope he can find more fairways this week.

13th at the European Masters, where he shot two rounds of 66 and two 67s, Migliozzi added a 24th-place finish last week, where he was sitting 12th going into the final round.

When Guido won this event in 2022, his run-in form read 18-38-35-13-34, and he was on a similar run of form between his first and second wins on the DP World Tour in 2019. 

What this says is that Migliozzi tends to let us know when a win might be coming, and his place at Wentworth is a great pointer. After ranking 17th in the same category at the Irish Open, I am confident this good iron play can continue and that can lead to success here in France again.

The Banker: Antoine Rozner – 40/1 with bet365

One bad round hindered Antoine Rozner’s chances last week, as he shot 75 on Friday, to undo his opening round 66 which saw him sit 4th after the opening 18 holes. Otherwise, he was reasonably impressive with three rounds in the 60s, no small feat at the BMW PGA Championship.

It was no wonder Rozner played poorly on the Friday as that was the only day he lost strokes with his irons. Over the weekend at Wentworth, he ranked 7th and 11th in SG Approach and that is more like the Rozner we know and love.

He could only finish 31st this past weekend, but as I said, he was 4th after round 1, and his form over the weekend was plenty good enough; the damage was just done on Friday. This matches his recent pattern of play as well, as his results look ordinary, but there have been some promising signs.

When 33rd at the European Masters, Rozner shot a 64 on Friday to climb into 10th, and while he suffered a poor moving day, he bounced back nicely with a final round 66. When 22nd at the Scottish Open, he was in 7th place after 54 holes, and he was well placed at the Canadian Open as well, sitting 16th going into Sunday. This shows that he may well be more threatening than his current results suggest, and I am confident he can step up in his national open. 

He finished 11th on debut in this event, and while he’s not played well in the Open de France since, now is the time for Rozner to step up and show why he lives alongside the market leaders.
