LIV Golf makes its next move on the calendar with the upcoming event at Adelaide in Australia. Golfers will be competing at The Grange Golf Club and kicking things off on Friday, April 26 at 9:35 PM ET. Jon Rahm leads the pack with odds currently placed at +630.
LIV Golf - Adelaide Betting Preview
The Adelaide event at Grange Golf Club gives golfers a longer layout, which is on par with the traditional Australian Sand Belt golf style of play. This course is roughly over 6,800 yards, while the course's firm and fast fairways cut into its length. Surprisingly, there was a lot of use of wedges and short irons, which is opposite in the idea of playing a course of this caliber.
Compared to typical Australian courses, a significant portion of this track features fairways and sand, with only a few holes sporting short rough and is an uncommon sight in Australian golf. This feature helps to minimize balls ending up in fairway bunkers or natural areas, thereby enhancing the course's playability and more appealing for everyone.
Golfers That Could Win
Tons of golfers stand out for this event, making this an appealing opportunity to land a winning bet. Check out which golfers have an edge here, as many have appealing momentum or previous success at this stage.
Jon Rahm +630
Rahm has landed in the top 10 in each LIV event this season. He also ranks first in birdies per round and second for greens in regulation. While he did not perform his best at the Masters, he is arguably the most dangerous golfer in LIV.
Joaquin Niemann +840
Niemann tied for 22nd at the Masters recently and has appealing momentum coming into this event. He has the fourth best greens in regulation percentage at 74.07 and ranks third with 4.8 birdies per round.
This event shows that it is no secret, you have to make birdies to stay in contention. Niemann is one that can make a stand on the final day of play.
Richard Bland +4200
Bland might be a bit of a long shot here, but he ranks first in greens in regulation with a percentage at 75.19. This is appealing for the 51-year-old golfer, who also snagged the British Masters crown back in 2021 and became the oldest golfer on the DP World tour to win a title. While he does not appear to lead the field here in other categories, he deserves some respect with his consistency in finding greens.
