LIV Golf Odds: Which Golfer Will be the Next to Join LIV After Brooks Koepka?
The next big name to join LIV golf, the Saudi-backed league that plans to challenge the PGA Tour for golf supremacy, is finally known. Four-time major champion and bitter rival to Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, will apparently be forgoing the PG Tour in favor of LIV Golf, and a presumed massive paycheck.
Koepka's decision to join LIV shouldn't come as a surprise at all. A few weeks ago, when we rolled out Paddy Power's LIV odds for the next golfer to join, Koepka was the third favorite at +138.
If you take a little deeper look, you see that Koepka has always said he only cares about major golf. And, with three of the four majors announcing they'll allow LIV golfers to play, this is a relative no-brainer.
So, as is to be expected, all eyes turn to the next golfer to join LIV. Abe Ancer also announced that he would be joining the Saudi-backed league this week, plus names like Justin Rose and Bubba Watson are expected to make the decision to join shortly. Who will be the next to join? Let's take a look at the latest LIV odds.

As you can see from the LIV golf odds, which were previously posted by UK sportsbook Paddy Power, Justin Rose and Bubba Watson seem destined to join LIV, and soon. These are two names that we expect to see join shortly.
But, if there is any good news for the PGA Tour, it's that the young golfers, who are seen as the future of the sport, don't seem to be interested in LIV.
Right now, the three best young golfers on the planet are probably Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland, with Will Zalatoris just behind them.
Morikawa, Hovland and Zalatoris' LIV golf odds are still a long way from the top, and Scottie Scheffler sits at +5000, indicating a 2% chance he leave the PGA Tour.
Guys like Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, all mainstays on the PGA Tour, have given their support for the Tour and said they plan on staying. Still, it will be interesting to see how the rosters break up in the coming weeks.
