2025 LIV Golf Riyadh odds, predictions: Favorites, picks from the field

The 2025 LIV Golf season officially gets underway on Feb. 6. The opening event takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with live coverage on FOX Sports. 

Each tournament features 54 holes played over three rounds with shotgun starts, where all teams begin play simultaneously on different holes. 

Unlike traditional golf leagues, LIV features 13 teams comprised of four players, featuring some of the biggest names in the sport. The teams are: 

• 4Aces GC
• Cleeks GC
• Crushers GC
• Fireballs GC
• HyFlyers GC
• Iron Heads GC
• Legion XIII
• Majesticks GC
• RangeGoats GC
• Ripper GC
• Smash GC
• Stinger GC
• Torque GC

A collective 14 major champions with a combined 28 major championships highlight the LIV roster, including 2024 LIV Golf Individual Champion Jon Rahm (Legion XIII), 2024 Team Champion Ripper GC captain Cameron Smith, Bryson DeChambeau (Crushers GC), Brooks Koepka (Smash GC), Phil Mickelson (HyFlyers GC), Dustin Johnson (4Aces GC), Sergio Garcia (Fireballs GC), Joaquin Niemann (Torque GC), plus many more.

All 54 players (including two wild-card players) will compete in the three-day events. The player with the lowest score after 54 holes wins individual honors, while the team with the lowest total score wins the title. Competitors accumulate points for individual and team championship honors at season’s end.

Favorites

Tyrrell Hatton is the favorite to win the tournament at +650, followed by Jon Rahm at +700 and Bryson DeChambeau at +750. Hatton finished fourth in individual points last season and won one event, taking home the LIV Golf Nashville event. Rahm dominated the 2024 season, finishing first in individual points total prize money and tied for the most event victories with two. And although DeChambeau didn’t win a LIV event last season, 2024 was a strong year for him — taking home the U.S. Open and finishing second at the PGA Championship.
