Steve Palmer's Regions Tradition top tip

Steve Stricker 4-1

The course record of Steve Stricker at the Founders Course is remarkably good and it is surprising to see such juicy odds against the 57-year-old's name as he bids for a fourth Regions Tradition title this week.

The opening Major of the Champions Tour season looks at the mercy of Stricker, who has won seven Majors on the roundbellies circuit. With hardly any of his rivals in great nick, the course comfort of Stricker should prove decisive again at Greystone.

Stricker was second in the 2018 Regions Tradition, then he won it by six shots in 2019. There was no event in 2020 due to Covid, then Stricker lost in a playoff in 2021, before back-to-back six-shot victories in 2022 and last year.

Regions Tradition form figures of 2-1-2-1-1 – a streak which includes three six-shot triumphs – make the favourite almost impossible to oppose. With only 77 players to beat, the former world number two will expect to dominate again.
