After 12 events this season, LIV Golf heads to Jeddah for its final tournament of the year ahead of the team event in Miami later this month. With a typically exorbitant prize pool of $25,000,000 on the line in Saudi Arabia, plus the coveted prize of winning the league overall this season, there’s plenty to play for in LIV Golf this weekend.
While the first half of the LIV Golf season saw plenty of one-off performances and no clear leader on the tour, recent events have seen three men break away from the pack. Can Cameron Smith, Bryson DeChambeau and Talor Gooch continue to dominate LIV Golf in its final event of the year? And if so, which one of these three will secure the year-end title for themselves?
We break down all the latest betting odds from bookmaker bet365 ahead of the first tee this week and outline the best bets to make on 2023 LIV Golf Jeddah.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: October 12th, 4:30 A.M. (GMT)
Leading the betting odds at bookmaker bet365, Chicago winner Bryson DeChambeau returns just 9.00 to win in Jeddah this weekend. Behind him it’s a two way tie for second place in the betting odds between current LIV Golf leader Cameron Smith and consistent performer Dustin Johnson, with both men paying 12.00. The hot and cold Talor Gooch sits at 15.00, before Joaquin Niemann, Brooks Koepka and Abraham Ancer round out the top favourites, all paying 19.00.
Odds for a top five finish are remarkably similar to the outright betting odds. DeChambeau leads at 2.60, through to Niemann, Koepka and Ancer who are joint fifth favourites on 4.20 for a top five placement.

It would be a surprise not to see one of Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Smith or Talor Gooch win here in Jeddah. These three have taken down seven of the last nine LIV Golf events and are the only three men realistically still in the race for the year-end crown. They’ll all turn up motivated to win and have been striking the ball well. The only other name that could be in the mix, speaking of motivation, is a disgruntled Dustin Johnson, who will be looking to prove he should have been selected for the Ryder Cup team recently.
Of these contenders, we say that Bryson DeChambeau is the best bet to win LIV Golf Jeddah. The American took some time to find his groove in LIV Golf but is storming home this season, having won two of the past three events, including the most recent tournament in Chicago. With all the confidence in the world, plus a shot at finishing top of the table, expect DeChambeau to pip Johnson for the win this weekend.
