The DP World Tour’s Closing Swing is set to reach its conclusion following the Danish Golf Championship, with one more chance to top the standings and land the $200,000 bonus prize.
But before that, each of the players in this week’s impressive field are hunting a priceless victory which would change their seasons – and potentially their careers – for the better.
The twin stars of Danish golf, Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard, lead the betting market with BetMGM and are expected to contend at the event Rasmus won only two years ago.
Closely tucked in behind them are another couple of home favorites in Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen and Thorbjorn Olesen. Meanwhile, Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan and England’s Matt Wallace are also fancied to feature around the top end of the leaderboard.
Below, we’ve listed the outright winner odds for many of the leading contenders this week as well as sharing our favorite and outside picks for the 2025 Danish Golf Championship.

Danish Golf Championship Course Guide: Furesø Golf Klub
Furesø Golfklub is a 27-hole facility located north of Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen. It began life as a small par-3 course in 1975 before expanding to a full nine-hole course four years later. In 1989, the nine-hole became an 18-hole layout before a further nine holes were added in 1996.
The club was completely renovated in 2015 by Scottish architectural firm, Mackenzie & Ebert, with careful consideration given to the Hestkøbgård buildings which house the clubhouse, pro shop and changing rooms as they are believed to date back to 1370.
For the Danish Golf Championship, Furesø will measure out at 7,011 yards and play as a par 71 with four par-3s and three par-5s – one of which is the closing hole.
As with many courses in the Nordic countries, it is tree-lined and awkward to navigate along, so accuracy will be vitally important to the eventual winner.
