This week LIV Golf is back in action as it heads to Australia for the LIV Golf Invitational Adelaide. Fresh off a title and strong performance at the first major event of the year, Brooks Koepka will be eager to keep his fine momentum rolling on and claim another win here in Adelaide. However, he’ll have some tough resistance from the rest of the field—namely, local favourite Cameron Smith, and the equally in-form Patrick Reed.
Who will end up on top down under? We look at the latest odds from bookmaker William Hill to find out and offer our best bets ahead of the LIV Golf Invitational Adelaide this week.

Outright betting odds are neck and neck heading into day one of the LIV Golf Invitational Adelaide. Both Cameron Smith and Brooks Koepka are tied in first equal, with odds of 11.00 for the win. Right behind them is Joaquin Niemann, who sits at 13.00, before Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed come in at 15.00 and 17.00 respectively.
Top five finish odds give Cameron Smith a slight edge over Brooks Koepka, with odds of 3.25 to 3.50. Joaquin Niemann is just behind on 3.75 before both Patrick Reed and Dustin Johnson who are tied at 4.33.
The big question heading into Adelaide is this: Which matters more, momentum or motivation? Brooks Koepka has the biggest slice of momentum, having won the most recent LIV Golf event in Orlando and coming T2 at the Masters the week before last. Patrick Reed is on a decent roll as well, having finished T4 at the Masters and T3 in Orlando with a top 20 finish prior to that. There’s every chance that either of these men will continue playing great golf and collect the title this weekend.
Then there’s the motivation. For Cameron Smith, he’ll be bitterly disappointed to have faded into the background at the Masters. There was much hype around his clash against the big names from the PGA Tour, but ultimately the Australian shot +4 and ended up T34. Chances are he’ll be focused on redeeming himself—and what better grounds for this redemption than in front of a home crowd? We say wagering on Smith to win at 11.00 is a great bet, and one that would prove very lucrative should Smith show his pedigree and turn his form around in Adelaide.
