Brooks Koepka - 16/1
The five-time major winner has collected three of the last six PGA Championship titles, including the 2023 title at Oak Hill. He built on a promising top 10 showing at LIV Golf Adelaide to win LIV Golf Singapore two weeks ago.
Jon Rahm - 20/1
Jon Rahm has cut a miserable figure so far on the LIV Golf tour, failing to win in his first seven events despite contending in most (top 10 in every one). The two-time major winner produced a lacklustre effort as defending champion at the Masters, carding a best round of level par 72 in a T45 finish, 20 shots behind Scottie Scheffler.
Bryson DeChambeau - 28/1
Bryson DeChambeau was quick out of the blocks at the 2024 Masters, carding an opening day 65 to lead by a single stroke from eventual winner Scottie Scheffler.
His T6 finish was only his third major top 10 since winning the 2020 US Open, the seventh of his eight wins on the PGA Tour before defecting to LIV. Both of his LIV wins came in 2023, including at LIV Golf Greenbrier where he closed with rounds of 61 and 58 to win by six strokes.
Joaquin Niemann - 40/1
The Chilean bagged himself a Masters invite after mixing two wins on the LIV tour this season with success at the Australian Open on the DP World Tour at the tail-end of 2023.
Niemann finished T22 at Augusta, meaning T16 (2023 Masters) remains his best-ever major finish, having never cracked the top 10 in the four biggest tournaments.
Cameron Smith - 50/1
The 2022 Open Champion produced a strong performance at the Masters (T6), before finishing T14 at LIV Golf Adelaide and second only to Koepka at LIV Golf Singapore, where he posted rounds of 65 and 64 to recover from an opening 71.
