LIV Golf UK picks and predictions

Outright pick: Bryson DeChambeau
+500 at bet365

Finishing T10 at The Open is impressive. Finishing T10 after firing an opening-round 78 (+7) is incredible, and Bryson DeChambeau’s three-round total of 197 was the second lowest in the 153-year history of the event.

Additionally, DeChambeau is just shy of two months removed from six consecutive worldwide Top 5s, which included his win at LIV Korea and a T2 at the PGA Championship. His play over the final three days of The Open was every bit as good as that run, too.

Matchup pick: Dustin Johnson over Anirban Lahiri
-105 at bet365

Dustin Johnson ranks third in this field in true strokes gained on approach and fifth in putting across his past three events to string together a T13-T7-T23 stretch.

Anirban Lahiri has also been sharp all LIV Golf season with eight Top-25 finishes, but after finishing T2 in Virginia, he’s lost true strokes putting in consecutive events and on approach last time out in Andalucia.

I’m anticipating Johnson’s surge and Lahiri’s slide to both continue.

Finishing position pick: Tom McKibbin Top 20
-140 at bet365

The emerging Northern Irishman carded consecutive Top-5 finishes on the LIV Golf circuit before missing the cut by a stroke at The Open, so I’m not chalking too much up to his play at Royal Portrush. 

Tom McKibbin isn’t the first countryman to miss the cut at the track in The Open, after all. 

Plus, even with the pair of underwhelming rounds, McKibben still ranks ninth in this field in both true strokes gained off-the-tee and tee to green while checking in 11th in putting across his past three events.

LIV Golf UK field and favorites

It's another week of Jon Rahm at the top of the odds board, listed at +450 despite a so-so T34 result at Royal Portrush last week. He did finish runner-up in his last LIV start at Andalucia.

Bryson DeChambeau is the No. 2 choice after making headlines at The Open. A week that started with a 7-over 78 finished with rounds of 65, 68, and 64 to work his way into the Top 10 come Sunday evening.

Tyrrell Hatton is next on the board, and he was in contention for much of the week at Portrush before stumbling with a final-round 72 on Sunday to finish T16. Joaquin Niemann is fourth on the board despite missing the cut last week.

Andalucia champ Talor Gooch is a few spots down the board at 22/1.
