LIV Invades The Masters: Best Bets for 5 LIV Golfers at Augusta

Jon Rahm +1100 to Win

The defending Masters champion, Jon Rahm, looks as focused as ever during a practice round at The Masters this week (above).

Rahm is coming off leading his Legion XIII GC to a thrilling victory at last week's LIV Golf Miami event. The world No. 3 finished T4 as an individual after shooting eight under at Trump National Doral.

Since surprisingly jumping to LIV in December, Rahm picked up right were he left the PGA off. The slick-striking Spaniard leads LIV in birdies and is second in hitting greens in regulation (74.81) on the campaign.

If you happen to be in a PGA survivor golf office pool, like we have here at SportsGrid, Rahm is your guy. Not only because you can only use LIV golfers at Opens and specific events, but because he is head and shoulders above anyone else at LIV. The third shortest odds make Rahm the most likely to take down Scottie Scheffler (+400) and/or Rory McIlroy (+1000) and just for the LIV vs. PGA storyline, I am here for it.

Best Bet: Jon Rahm (+1100) outright Masters winner 

Bryson DeChambeau +3300 to Win

If there was a wrestling monster heel, LIV vs. PGA character, Bryson DeChambeau would be the guy's entrance music you can already hear in your head. There is a reason he captains Crushers GC as we speak. The outspoken big man from the boxes comes in seventh in LIV's season points standings. Bryson has finished T9 or better in his past four events, including a T7 showing in Miami last week. That said, The Masters is The Undertaker for Big Brys.

After making bold predictions about his distance game, shredding Augusta, DeChambeau has been chiefly humbled in Georgia recently. After a pair of double bogey-fests, he missed the cut last year and in 2022. This came after four doubles in 2021, which left him flexing on a T46 finish.

DeChambeau gets smacked with the folding chair in this crossover event before the mover-ons storm the squared circle.

Best Bet: DeChambeau Miss Cut: +240

Joaquin Niemann +2500 to Win

Spoiler Alert: Here's your best value pick of our LIV bunch. Joaquin Niemann has been quietly under the radar, tearing it up this year. Despite being just inside 100 of the world golf rankings, the Chilean golfer is the man to beat at LIV. Niemann is the organization's overall points leader after winning the opening event of the year at Mayakoba and taking top spot in Jeddah. The 25-year-old is averaging almost ten shots under through LIV five events this year and has his Torque GC in third in team standings.

For all the latest LIV news, betting picks and analysis, bookmark SportsGrid's LIV Golf page.

He's fourth in greens in regulation (74%), third in birdies, and, most importantly, has been very active. Niemann is up and coming, and at +2500, he is the best value guy in this LIV lot.

Best Bet: Niemann Outright +2500

Brooks Koepka +1800 to Win

Brooks Koepka was a defection name PGA fans did not want to hear called. That said, Koepka haters listen up as the world's No. 31 is coming off a stormy weekend in Miami. Koepka shot a plus-seven overall, while his Smash GC was seventh as a team.

Koepka is no stranger to Augusta, with eight appearances at The Masters. He's still chasing that elusive green jacket after taking second place in 2019 and does have three T10 finishes.

The move to LIV, coupled with missing the cut in 2021 and 2022 at The Masters, gives credence to being cautious. On the other hand, Big Game Brooks shows up for the spotlight with five Majors on his mantle. Only Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have more. 

Koepka is ranked 13th in greens in regulation this LIV season and T11 in birdies, so he still holds his own. Brooks certainly has a shot at finally winning here, but the competition is stiff. That said, I like his chances in a 72-hole match bet with Jordan Spieth. While Spieth has three top tens this year, he has already shown some meltdown rounds and moments with two missed cuts.

Best Bet: Koepka over Spieth in 72 Hole Matchbet: +100
