High-profile events on the DP World Tour continue to arrive in quick succession, and the Open de France is no exception as some of the circuit's very best - as well as a few guests from the PGA Tour - have gathered near Paris to do battle for the latest title.
Defending champion, Dan Bradbury is in the field this week, as is another former winner in Guido Migliozzi. But despite having lifted this prize before, neither player is among the favorites this time around.
Per BetMGM, England's Harry Hall is the outright favorite to win his first exclusive DP World Tour title, with fellow PGA Tour peer Corey Conners not very far behind.
Those two have separated themselves from the chasing pack, as far as the sportsbooks have it, with the likes of Min Woo Lee, Jordan Smith and Frenchman, Adrien Saddier possessing the next shortest price in terms of odds. The latter has been tipped by Golf Monthly betting expert, Baz Plummer.
Below, we've each picked a favorite and a sleeper for this week's action Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche while the odds for many of the leading choices are listed as well.

Open De France Betting Picks
Favorite: Min Woo Lee +2200 To Win @ BetMGM
Picking a winner looks tricky this week with a golf course that we don’t know a great deal about, so I am going to back Min Woo Lee based on him being one of the best players in the field and his form from Wentworth last time out.
Lee double-bogeyed the 71st hole and still managed to finish T11th after a 67-66 weekend. Had he parred the 17th, he would have been T3rd. The Australian won for the first time on the PGA Tour earlier this season and has five wins as a pro. Last week was his best result since his Houston Open win so a good sign that he is returning to form.
Sleeper: Casey Jarvis +12500 To Win @ BetMGM
The 22-year-old looks set to be one of South Africa’s top players over the coming years and he is another who enjoyed some strong form last week at Wentworth. Jarvis opened with an impressive 65 (-7) before falling back in rounds two and three. He closed with a 67 to finish T38th for a solid comeback after a T20th at the Irish Open the week prior.
The Johannesburg man also recently posted his best finish of the season with a T13th at the Nexo Championship, so I’m hoping he can carry his Wentworth form to France and crack the top-10.
Favorite: Angel Ayora +2800 To Win @ BetMGM
I had considered Martin Couvra and John Parry this week but, for my favorite pick, I am opting for Angel Ayora, who has performed incredibly well over the last few months, wrapping up multiple top-10s at some big tournaments.
Finishing T5th at the Amgen Irish Open, T8th at the Omega European Masters and T7th at the Italian Open, it's these performances that are making me lean towards the Spaniard, as the courses used for those events correspond nicely with this week's venue - a tree lined layout that measures on the shorter side. Ayora is in good form and, at a course that will be new to many, I believe he has what it takes to claim a first DP World Tour win.
Sleeper: Guido Migliozzi +8000 To Win @ BetMGM
A former French Open winner, albeit at Le Golf National, Guido Migliozzi has started to re-find some form of late, making his last four cuts and securing a T13th finish at the Omega European Masters and a T24th last week at Wentworth.
In fact, at last week's BMW PGA Championship, he shot a six-under 66, showing his game is there, with the Italian ranking well in all the major stats categories. He's an experienced player, with four DP World Tour wins, and providing reasonable odds considering he is on an upward trajectory of late.
Favorite: Jordan Smith +2200 To Win @ BetMGM
One of the most accurate players and best ball-strikers on the DP World Tour, Jordan Smith could well take advantage of the wide-open field this week to claim his latest long-overdue win.
The Englishman has largely been superb from tee to green this year, but his putting has often dictated how high up the leaderboard he finishes. There were signs of life with the flat stick through August, so if he can find something in his third week of play in a row, then Smith could contend at the Open de France.
Sleeper: Martin Couvra +4500 To Win @ BetMGM
Although Couvra's form quickly cooled after winning in Turkey a few months ago, the young Frenchman suggested he has turned a corner with a T13th finish at the BMW PGA Championship last time out.
The strengths of his game lie in accuracy and excellent approach play, and those two areas will be vital for whoever does well at a new course to much of the field this time around. Should Couvra be able to build upon his Wentworth display, he could begin to warm up his form again via a top-10 finish at his home national open.
