It’s been a special week for Liv Golf.
The Rebel Tour had 19 golfers playing at the Royal Open at Royal Protush, a record for them, beating 18 players in the 2023 PGA Championship.
The Liff golfers won the PGA title, they won the U.S. Open, they are close to winning the Masters, but they are not really competing for the fuchsia jug.
It is very likely to change this year. So, is Liv’s best bet this year the best bet?
Here are all 19 LIV golfers heading to Royal Porthush next week – with the latest results, major championship forms and open certificates.
1. Jon Rahm
The Spaniard remains a Riva golf legend who hasn’t finished outside the top 10 at any start on the Rebel Tour. He also ranked in the top 12 in four of his last five games, including second place at Real Liverpool two years ago and Royal Royal T11 in 2019. This consistency, quality and open form put him at the highest ranking.
2. BrysonDeChambeau
The big social media star has ranked top five in five of his last six major U.S. tournaments, but his public record remains a problem. He did rank eighth in St Andrews in 2022, but in other Rota courses he had the best T33 and he missed the 2019 layoffs at Prothush. Elite performer, but this is not his best choice.
3. Tyrell Hatton
British people love links. In fact, he was the three-time champion of Alfred Dunhill’s link champion, including last fall. He will also be eager to return to the Royal Portrait as he likes 2019 and finishes sixth. He was T14 in this year’s Masters and ranked fourth in the U.S. Open. Elite links to performers in the main form.
4. JoaquinNiemann
There is no doubt that the Chileans are the sensational golfers. He won four times this year on LIV, which is four times as good as the Rahm, DeChambeau and Hatton combination. But he has only one major top 10 in 25 games and has not yet reached the top 50 in five games. Very good, but flawed.
5. BrooksKoepka
The five-time major champion always has to be considered a threat, which could be a good opportunity for him to win publicly as his career best (fourth place) was in Royal Portrait in 2019. Worry is his form and grumpy temperament (he beat Tee Box last month). Elite performer, but how happy is he?
6. Patrick Reed
The 2018 Masters champion won his first LIV title at Dallas at the end of last month, and he won the Asian Tour in Hong Kong late last year. Third place in the Masters in April, but got the best performance of the T10 in nine opens, suggesting that the link is not his game.
7. Carlos Ortiz
Mexico is one of the most suitable players for Lef this season, winning the Asian Tour in March, ranking second in Australia’s LIV and fourth in the U.S. Open last month. However, he had little experience with links and missed the cuts in his only open beginning.
8. Cameron Smith
You can’t argue with Australian links or public bloodlines as he won his 150th Open in 2022 at St Andrews. The problem is his main form: 80-74:71-78 in the Masters, 75-73 in the U.S. Open and 75-73 in the PGA, 75-73 in the U.S. Open, 75-73 in the PGA.
9. Tom McGibbin
The Belfast man was impressed by Lef in the top ten who went to Dubai last year. He will be confident because he says he has played “hundreds of times”. He plays Belfast Holywood GC like Rory McIlroy and will get a lot of support.
10. Lucas Herbert
Australia is eligible in Caesare and has become the winner of Ireland after he landed at Mount Juliet in the Irish Open. He also has three top 10 on the Scotland link. He performed well in the wind and was an explosive putter.
11. Louis Oscoson
The 2010 Open champion competed for the 2021 Claret jug for the last time, but he finished second in Liv Dallas late last month.
12. SergioGarcia
He is an excellent public performer who lost in the 2007 play-offs, but has not finished in the top ten since winning the Masters in 2017.
13. Dean Burmester
The 8-shot game below 64 won his final qualifying spot, and he hopes to record the third straight opening of the top 20.
14. Marc Leishman
At his heyday, Australia finished three top six in four games, including a 2015 playoff defeat.
15. Lee Westwood
The British scored three top three in the Open (and three-time runner-up), but has finished with the top five everywhere since September 2022.
16. Dustin Johnson
His main championship results of the season reveal everything: Masters 74-73, 78-76 and 75-75 in the U.S. Open in the PGA Championship.
17. Jason Kokrak
He only has the top 20 in LIV this season (Singapore T10), ranking 23 in the top 10 games recorded.
18. Phil Mickelson
The 2013 championship and two runner-up, but he missed the layoffs in five of his last seven games, last year it was the T60.
19. Henrik Stenson
In the 2016 championship, he completed the T13 at Real Liverpool two years ago. But he hasn’t ranked in the top five on LIV since the end of 2023.
