While the PGA Tour is busy competing at the AT&T Byron Nelson in Dallas, rival tour LIV Golf will be commencing their sixth event of the year in Tulsa. The LIV Golf Invitational Tulsa 2023 will feature plenty of top golfers and with $25,000,000 on the line in Oklahoma, this is not a contest to be missed.
Talor Gooch is in hot form on the LIV Golf circuit right now and will be the man to beat in Tulsa. Having won the past two tournaments in Singapore and Adelaide, Gooch is looking to become the first man to win three LIV events in a row. However, Brooks Koepka, Cameron Smith and Dustin Johnson will have something to say about that as they look to return to the winner’s circle themselves.
We break down all the best bets to make on the LIV Gold Invitational Tulsa 2023 with the latest odds from bookmaker William Hill.

Heading into the LIV Golf Invitational Tulsa 2023, both Brooks Koepka and Talor Gooch are neck and neck in the betting odds. With a return of 11.00 if either of the Americans’ win, they’re this event’s joint favourites. Right behind them is Cameron Smith on 12.00 with Mito Pereira, Joaquin Niemann and Dustin Johnson rounding out the top favourites on 15.00.
Little separates the favourites when it comes to top five betting with Gooch and Koepka still joint favourites in this market at 2.90. Smith is right behind on 3.00 before Johnson leapfrogs Pereira and Niemann to come in at 3.50.

Best bets to make on this event would be Cameron Smith for a top five finish and either Koepka or Gooch to win. Australia’s Cameron Smith has been consistently making deep runs in LIV Golf this year, finishing T5 in Mayakoba, T3 in Adelaide, and T6 in Singapore last week. Expect him to put in another strong performance in Tulsa this weekend and finish in at least the top five for a 3.00 return.
When it comes to splitting Brooks Koepka or Talor Gooch, we say the pressure of playing in his home tournament will be a little too much for Gooch. Having built such expectation by winning the past two events, Gooch will be hard pressed to keep up his good form and win an unprecedented third in a row. Instead, a hit-and-miss Koepka should hit this tournament and repeat his winning feats from Orlando where he did indeed win his home tournament.
