LIV Golf rolls into Hong Kong this week for its inaugural event at the iconic Hong Kong Golf Club.

We dive into the latest odds from bookmaker William Hill and outline our LIV Golf Hong Kong predictions ahead of the first tee on Friday.
LIV Golf Hong Kong Predictions
It’s a neck-and-neck competition so far in LIV Golf this year. Who will prevail this weekend? Here are our LIV Golf Hong Kong predictions.
The Safe Bets: Jon Rahm and Joaquin Niemann
While Cam Smith’s runner-up finish at the Hong Kong Open in November suggests he could be a decent outsider at juicy odds, his T41 in Jeddah last week hardly inspires confidence. The Australian has been blowing hot and cold of late.
Jon Rahm, on the other hand, has been knocking on the door in all three of his LIV starts so far. The Spaniard will be desperate to taste victory again ahead of his Masters defence next month. Despite his recent drought, Rahm’s game seems to be in pretty good shape overall.
In stark contrast, Joaquin Niemann arrives in red-hot form, with an incredible run of 5-1-4-1-33-3-1 over his last seven starts worldwide. While all eyes will be on Rahm and his LIV recruitment, the smart money could well be on the in-form Chilean to steal the spotlight when the action gets underway at the famed Hong Kong venue this week.
Bigger Returns: Talor Gooch and Louis Oosthuizen
While all eyes will be trained on the likes of Rahm and Niemann, the real bet could well be on the ‘under-the-radar’ Talor Gooch and Louis Oosthuizen to make waves on the Hong Kong course this week.
Gooch has been a picture of consistency on the LIV circuit, chalking up top-15 finishes in each of the first three events this season. His T6 in Jeddah was all the more remarkable given his usually potent putting stroke wasn’t firing on all cylinders.
Louis Oosthuizen, meanwhile, arrives at the peak of his performance after an astonishing run of two wins and two runner-up finishes from his last six worldwide starts, including a T2 in Jeddah. The crafty South African lacks power off the tee but that will be easily negated at the iconic Hong Kong venue.
LIV Golf Hong Kong Odds
The LIV Golf Hong Kong odds paint an intriguing picture ahead of this event. Jon Rahm is the favourite at 6.50 odds, but in-form Joaquin Niemann at 8.50 could be the value pick. Further out, the consistent Talor Gooch at 13.00 and Louis Oosthuizen at 19.00 odds also offer tempting long-shots.
