Some of the best golfers in the world will head to the Belfry this week for the British Masters Golf 2024 tournament and many experts are predicting England’s Tyrrell Hatton as the one to beat.

It was reported that Hatton bagged close to £50m when moving over to the LIV tour and since he’s joined has one win to his name, which came in the 2024 LIV Golf Nashville at the end of June. Winning by six shots with a score of -19.
Ahead of the British Masters, Hatton is being tipped as one of the main fancies as he tries to win the Nick Faldo-hosted event for the first time.
Hatton, who has six European Tour wins to his name, has also finished a tied 9th in this year’s Masters at Augusta but failed to make the cut in the Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Club earlier this year.
