Jon Rahm claimed his third Spanish Open title in four years with a six-shot success on Sunday and US Open champion Matthew Fitzpatrick will be hoping to triumph on familiar turf at the Andalucia Masters this week.

Fitzpatrick won at the marquee Valderrama venue by three shots last year and is 13-2 for a repeat triumph, although Australian Min Woo Lee will look to have something to say about that, having been second last year and third behind Rahm at the weekend.

The PGA Tour heads to Japan for the ZOZO Championship at the Accordia Golf Narashino CC, where home favourite Hideki Matsuyama defends his title.

The former Masters champion is 12-1 for glory while Tom Kim, who beat Patrick Cantlay among others to win last week's Shriners Children's Open, is available at 14-1.

Olympic gold medalist Xander Schauffele is 15-2 favourite.

There is also action in LIV Golf as the breakaway tour heads to Saudi Arabia for the Jeddah tournament.

Dustin Johnson is 9-2 favourite to win at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, where he twice won the Saudi International.
