each-way bet<\/a>. With the latter, you \u201cinsure\u201d your outright bet a little bit by doubling – or halving – your stake in order to create two wagers for one bet. As a result,\u00a0 you have backed a player to win, but also to place, i.e. finish among the top few places. The number of paid places will often depend on the bookie you bet with, as many different betting sites will, by way of promotion, offer varying amounts of places per tourney that they will pay out on.<\/p>\n\n\n Miss the Cut Betting\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Because golf tournaments have such high fields of competitors, they use what is known as a cut to trim the field roughly in half<\/strong> at the tourney\u2019s half-way point. Golf events typically last four days – Thursday through Sunday – which is why a cut is introduced after day two, the Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n The idea is that the cut will eliminate the stragglers from those doing well. Those that make the cut will continue to play in the competition over the weekend. This creates a fun betting opportunity where you can bet on a player to miss the cut.<\/strong> It stands to reason that the better the player, the more likely they are to make the cut – so if they miss it, which is actually pretty common, the higher the odds will be.<\/p>\n\n\n The reverse is true for making the cut<\/strong> at the French Open betting, another fantastic betting opportunity.<\/p>\n\nHistory of the Open de France<\/h2>\n \n\n \n The Open de France has been part of the European Tour since the tour was launched in 1972. It also is the oldest national golf open in Europe outside of the UK and was inaugurated in 1906. The Open Championship, one of modern golf\u2019s four majors, is the oldest in Europe, having been founded in 1860.<\/p>\n\n
\n Golf had already been popularised in France by the British, who were living there from around halfway through the 19th century as evidenced by the founding of the le Pau Golf Club in 1856. Around the turn of the 20th century, the Golf de Paris directors, inspired by the Open Championship in the UK, decided to create a French equivalent. On the 30th of June and the 1st of July 1906, Pierre Deschamps, the Golf de Paris president, organised the Omnium Grand Championship on the grounds of La Boulie.<\/p>\n\n
\n Today run by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise de Golf (French Golf Federation<\/strong><\/a>), the Open de France is held at Le Golf National. Prior to 1991, the tournament had no fixed venue, and had been hosted by the French cities of Le Touquet, Dieppe, Deauville, Biarritz, Lyon, and Chantilly, among other venues. Since moving to Le Golf National, it has been held there every year except 1999 and 2001, when it was moved to Medoc and Lyon respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n From 2004 onwards, qualification routes, similar to those employed by the Open Championship and the US Masters, were introduced. In 2021, the tournament had its first ever host in Gr\u00e9gory Havret<\/strong><\/a>, who became the first in the illustrious history of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n
