LIV Golf Greenbrier Intro

This time last year LIV made its first visit to the Greenbrier Resort and Bryson DeChambeau will not have known then just what an impact that week would have on the next 12 months of his life and career.

He’d have still been clueless after 18 holes following a 68 that left him T25th on the leaderboard.

But a second round 61 moved him within one shot of the lead, and a third round 58 left the opposition reeling. He won by six shots.

Within weeks he had won again and this year he has unquestionably been one of the sport’s superstars. The highlight being his capture of a second US Open title.

Who will take the honors this week? Let’s find out.

Contenders to Win the LIV Golf Greenbrier

Jon Rahm (+550) at bet365

Poor Jon Rahm. When he won LIV UK at the end of last month it was a first victory anywhere in the world for over 15 months and came off the back of improved form, not least a top 10 finish in the British Open. Whereupon, he led the Olympic competition by four shots deep into the final round and then imploded. It remains the case, however, that he is 11-for-11 at recording LIV top 10s.

Bryson DeChambeau (+650) at bet365

It seems certain that Bryson DeChambeau will be on a high returning to the scene of his great success last year. And while it is impressive that he won by carding a final round 58 it is simply sensational that he won carded a 61 and a 58 in his final two rounds. To sustain low-scoring of that level over 36 holes is almost unheard of. 

Tyrrell Hatton (+800) at bet365

The Englishman missed the cut at the British Open, but he didn’t get a good draw amid the miserable conditions so has a good excuse. Better to look at his results either side of that effort to understand what form he is in and it’s very good. He won LIV Nashville at The Grove, was third at LIV Andalucia in Valderrama, and second last time out at LIV UK played at the JCB G&CC.

DeChambeau All Set for an Encore

The blistering performance of DeChambeau 12 months ago was not his first start on The Old White at The Greenbrier.

Back in 2017 he played the PGA Tour’s Greenbrier Classic and closed with a 65 for 14th.

That effort suggests that last year was no one-off and there’s every reason to believe that he is capable of another win.

Apart from anything else, it will niggle that he was unable to represent Team USA at the Olympics when he was clearly good enough.

With something to prove, and tremendous good vibes on the course, he’s a touch short this week.

Burmester’s Head for Heights

South Africa’s Dean Burmester enjoyed himself on The Old White last year, carding 64-67-66 to finish seventh.

Since then he has won twice on the DP World Tour in Johannesburg (at altitude) and then landed his first LIV victory in Miami.

At first glance, his form tailed off in the summer but he was 12th in the PGA Championship, made the cut in the US Open, and was 19th in the British Open.

That’s a very fine logbook.

Now on a course he has enjoyed in the past, in the thin air that he has always thrived in, he has a great chance to contend again.

You can back him at (+2800) each way with Caesars Sporstbook which pays five places.

Pereira in his Sweet Spot

Complete this week’s plan with another fan of playing golf at altitude.

Hailing from Chile, Mito Pereira, of course, learned his golf in thin air but he’s continued to perform well in it at every level of the game.

He’s been a winner in Bogota and a top five finisher in Mexico City, he’s been fourth in Las Vegas, and he was second here last year.

He was only 45th in the Paris Olympics last time out, but he did close with a 66.

Back him to land another top 20 with bet365 offering (+225) that includes ties.
