2022 US Open Odds for LIV Golf Participants

2022 US Open Odds for LIV Golf Participants

As Brooks Koepka noted this week in a testy interview with the press, the 2022 US Open certainly seems to have a “black cloud” hanging over it as the week drags on, as the Saudi-backed LIV Golf has enticed some of the sports' biggest names leading to suspensions and an uncertain future on the PGA Tour. The majors are governed under a different umbrella, however, and as of yet have not told any LIV Golf participants they can’t play. 

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the odds for the top LIV Golf participant’s in this week’s US Open field at The Country Club.

Phil Mickelson +20000 (Bet $100 to win $20000)

His odds are amongst the longest in the field, but wouldn’t it be something if Mickelson found himself in contention come Sunday afternoon. Arguably the face of LIV Golf at this point for his electric rod personality and off-the-cuff comments, Mickelson could be in for a long week with the fans, especially if his game isn’t up to par.

Branden Grace +15000 (Bet $100 to win $15000)

Grace wasn’t the biggest shocker to leave the PGA Tour, with his best years likely in the past, but he is one of the sneaky better golfers to defect. With 23 top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour, Grace is always in play if his putter is going. 

Patrick Reed +10000 (Bet $100 to win $10000)

Arguably already the biggest villain on the PGA Tour, Reed enters the week the #38 golfer in the world and one of the bigger names in the second round of players to make the jump. A former Masters winner, Reed has the stuff to win a major already established. 

Kevin Na +10000 (Bet $100 to win $10000)

The #33 OWGR ranked player to jump to LIV when he did, Na was one of the biggest surprises to make the jump given he’s in the prime of his career and a proven winner on the PGA Tour. While the future will tell if it was the right decision, Na put arguably the most on the line if LIV Golf doesn’t make it past a couple of seasons. 

Sergio Garcia +8000 (Bet $100 to win $8000)

A long-time complainant of the PGA Tour’s ways, Sergio’s best years are well behind him and few were surprised to see him leave. His name brand alone is likely why he’s less than +10000 this week. 

Taylor Gooch +8000 (Bet $100 to win $8000)

Gooch was another shock to make the jump, as he really had turned a corner with his game over the past 18 months ascending to #35 in the sport after picking up his first win on the PGA Tour in November. I like the value he provides here at just +8000.

Bryson DeChambeau +8000 (Bet $100 to win $8000)

At just 28 years old, DeChambeau is also in the prime of his career and has shown the stuff to compete at the very highest level. Somewhat of a puzzling jump for him given his popularity on the PGA Tour. 

Louis Oosthuizen +4000 (Bet $100 to win $4000)

The 2010 British Open champ, Oosthuizen is still playing some great golf but at 40 years old, the money LIV is throwing around seems like a no-brainer. Of any player in Brookline this week, it would be the most fun to see him be competing on Sunday. 

Dustin Johnson +2800 (Bet $100 to win $2800)

Known as a shark major hunter just a few years ago, DJ has all but submitted with the jump to LIV Golf. In what could be one of his final few majors if the PGA Tour stands strong, he has the shortest odds on the board on name recognition alone.
