Bryson DeChambeau To Win @ 9.00 (8/1)

So far, DeChambeau has secured four top-ten finishes in seven LIV Golf tournaments this year. His best finish came at the LIV Golf Jeddah where he finished among the top four. However, he is our preferred pick due to his performance at the recently concluded PGA Championship, where he finished second. DeChambeau scorched the final round of the PGA Championship with a bogey-free 64, igniting hopes for his maiden PGA title. However, Xander Schauffele’s clutch birdie putt on the 18th hole snatched victory away by a single stroke.
Despite the heartbreak, DeChambeau flexed his power at Valhalla. He led the field in both average driving distance (a whopping 330.5 yards) and scrambling (an impressive 90.0 percent). This impressive performance gives him the edge heading into LIV Golf Houston. An impressive performance at Houston will serve as a crucial warm-up for his quest to win another U.S. Open crown. DeChambeau has 9.00 (8/1) odds to win 2024 Houston LIV Golf.
Jon Rahm To Finish Top Five @ 2.63 (13/8)
Event Prediction

Jon Rahm hasn’t been dominating tournaments this season, but he’s been a model of consistency. In his seven LIV appearances, he has always finished among the top ten. So far his best performance has come at the Mayakoba and Adelaide. At both events, he finished third. He also secured a fourth-place finish at Miami and a fifth-place finish at Jeddah. Rahm missed a cut on the PGA Championship, which means he should be fresh for this contest in Houston.
We can not give him a victory at this event, given the quality of the stars competing for the title. Yet, Rahm’s talent makes a top-five finish a realistic possibility. While he’s favored to win, we’ll take a more cautious approach and hope for a solid top-five showing from Rahm, which would still deliver a satisfying outcome.
Team Event Winner: Ripper GC @ 6.00 (5/1)
