2025 LIV Golf Mexico City odds, predictions: Favorites, picks from the field
LIV Golf returns to action this week with LIV Golf Mexico City, the sixth tournament of the 2025 league schedule. The tour makes its first visit to Mexico City and its third visit to the country of Mexico, with Mayakoba hosting tournaments in 2023 and 2024.
Reigning Team Champions Ripper GC enters off its first team title of 2025, having won at the difficult Trump National Doral course at LIV Golf Miami, with veteran star Marc Leishman claiming his first individual LIV Golf title. Torque GC Captain Joaquin Niemann of Chile leads the season-long individual points race, while Sergio Garcia's Fireballs GC top the team standings.
Mexico City is the first LIV Golf tournament since the golf season's first major, the Masters, in which five LIV Golf players finished inside the top 15 – the most of any major since the inception of LIV Golf.
For yet another tournament, Jon Rahm enters as the favorite at +500 despite having yet to win an event this year. Still, the Spaniard has never finished outside of the top 10 in 17 LIV Golf tournament appearances. After a near win at the Masters, Bryson DeChambeau has the second-best odds at +700 followed by Joaquin Niemann at +900. Niemann has won two events of the five events this year, and also was last year's winner at Mayakoba. Here are the rest of the odds as of April 23, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook:
Jon Rahm: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)Bryson DeChambeau: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)Joaquin Niemann: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)Tyrrell Hatton: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)Sergio Garcia: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)Patrick Reed: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)Brooks Kopeka: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)Paul Casey: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)David Puig: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)Carlos Ortiz: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total) Sebastian Munoz: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)Dean Burmester: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)Abraham Ancer: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)Tom McKibbin: +2800 (bet $10 to win $290 total)Marc Leishman: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Lucas Herbert: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Cameron Tringale: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Cameron Smith: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Louis Oosthuizen: +4000 (bet $10 to win $410 total)Dustin Johnson: +4000 (bet $10 to win $410 total)Peter Uihlein: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Harold Varner: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Talor Gooch: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Richard Bland: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Charl Schwartzel: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Anirban Lahiri: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Thomas Pieters: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Phil Mickelson: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)Adrian Meronk: +8000 (bet $10 to win $ total)Kevin Na: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)Jason Kokrak: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)Caleb Suratt: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)Ben Campbell: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)Charles Howell III: +12000 (bet $10 to win $1,210 total)Bubba Watson: +12000 (bet $10 to win $1,210 total)Brendan Steele: +12000 (bet $10 to win $1,410 total)Sam Horsfield: +14000 (bet $10 to win $1,410 total)John Catlin: +14000 (bet $10 to win $1,410 total)Matthew Wolff: +20000 (bet $10 to win $2,010 total)Luis Masaveu: +20000 (bet $10 to win $2,010 total)Danny Lee: +20000 (bet $10 to win $2,010 total)Yubin Jang: +25000 (bet $10 to win $2,510 total)Matt Jones: +25000 (bet $10 to win $2,510 total)Henrik Stetson: +25000 (bet $10 to win $2,510 total)Graeme McDowell: +25000 (bet $10 to win $2,510 total)Branden Grace: +25000 (bet $10 to win $2,510 total)

US Open '25: DeChambeau's sand save an all-time memory at golf's most punishing major
Associated Press It only feels right that the reigning titleholder at the golf championship that, at least in theory, anyone can win is the player who leans into the role of the sport's most relatable everyman, Bryson DeChambeau. And it only feels right that at the U.S. Open — a tournament built to humble and punish the best in the game as much as celebrate them — DeChambeau earned his title by hitting a shot that virtually no man can hit. A plaque now sits outside the bunker on the 18th hole at Pinehurst No. 2, enshrining the spot where DeChambeau placed his name in the history books with what he called 'the shot of my life' — a 55-yard blast from the sand to 4 feet with the trophy hanging in the balance on Sunday at last year's Open. Defense of the title begins Thursday at Oakmont, getting ready to host its record 10th U.S. Open and a course with a longtime reputation for being as difficult as they come. All of which seems to suit the 31-year-old pro golfer/social media star just fine. His first U.S. Open title came in 2020 at Winged Foot, the course best known for producing the 1974 'Massacre at Winged Foot' along with Phil Mickelson's meltdown in the trees and trash cans more than 30 years later. Then, last year, that bunker at Pinehurst. What would golf's everyman say to his millions of YouTube followers who someday might encounter their own version of the 50-yard bunker shot, widely recognized as one of the most difficult in the game, even under normal circumstances? 'The best piece of advice I give them is, just practice in weird, unique situations for maybe an hour a week, 20 minutes, whatever,' DeChambeau said. 'But try to be different and don't just hit the same stock shot every time.' A history-making shot in a tournament that does not produce them All the major championships have their own personalities. The Masters produces roars through the pines during back-nine charges on Sunday. The British Open is a brittle links-style test where players have to think differently about getting from Point A to Point B. America's golf championship has a reputation for forcing the best players to suffer like the rest of us. As a result, the list of 'greatest shots of all time' at the U.S. Open is a short one: — Ben Hogan's 1-iron on the 72nd hole that helped force a playoff at Merion in 1950. — Arnold Palmer's lash with driver to the first green at Cherry Hills in 1960. — Jack Nicklaus' 1-iron that hit the flagstick on No. 17 at Pebble Beach in 1972. — Tom Watson's chip from the rough on the same hole 10 years later to beat Nicklaus. — Tiger Woods' 12-foot putt at Torrey Pines in 2008 to force a playoff he eventually won over Rocco Mediate. And now, there is DeChambeau's bunker shot. 'When he took this big swing, the amount of confidence that you have to have to hit it that close to the golf ball and not accidentally catch too much ball and send it on top of the clubhouse, it's a very fine line," said NBC golf analyst Smylie Kaufman, whose biggest brush with pressure came when he played in the final group Sunday at the 2016 Masters. 'They work every single day, every week at these facets of the game in hopes they will have an opportunity to try it,' said Notah Begay, also of NBC. 'I think one of the most overlooked things about professional golf is all the calculation that happens on the fly in evaluating certain shots, which way the grass is lying, where the ball's going to land, and on top of all the normal things.' A tournament for everyone could come down to Bryson, Rory, Scottie Maybe the biggest irony is what the U.S. Open officially sells itself as, versus what always ends up happening. More than 10,000 players signed up to qualify for the U.S. Open which is, officially, open to any professional, or amateur with a handicap of 0.4 or lower. There will be good stories to tell among those who went through qualifying to make the 156-man field: a 17-year-old high schooler from Georgia, a dentist in Indiana who used to caddie at Oakmont. The cold facts: The last man to run the gauntlet of local and sectional qualifying to win the title was Orville Moody in 1969. (Lucas Glover went through sectional qualifying only when he won in 2009.) By the time the sun starts going down on Sunday, the tournament almost certainly will come down to a handful of players who virtually all golf fans have heard of. Though Scottie Scheffler is playing the best right now and Rory McIlroy recently won the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam, it's plausible to think that DeChambeau captures the attention of more of those fans than anyone. He recently surpassed 2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. He is making golf feel like everyman's sport, posting videos in which he makes a hole-in-one with a wedge shot over his house, plays with off-the-rack clubs to see how they stack up and tries to beat a scratch golfer while playing left-handed. All of it sounds nutty, but it all goes back to that piece of advice he offered when asked how to replicate the improbable under impossible circumstances — i.e., a 50-yard bunker shot with the U.S. Open on the line. 'Once you get a stock shot down and you're comfortable with it, go have some fun,' DeChambeau said. 'Do a chipping contest with your amateur friends and throw it in the bunker from 50 yards, or throw it in a bush and see if you can get out. Stuff to that extent has suited my game very well.' ___ AP Sports Writer Ben Nuckols contributed to this report. ___ AP golf: recommended

Rory McIlroy Surprisingly Dealt Bad News Ahead of U.S. Open
Rory McIlroy Surprisingly Dealt Bad News Ahead of U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rory McIlroy heads into the U.S. Open with his game in a less than ideal place creating plenty of buzz in the latest golf news. McIlroy is still among the favorites to win the U.S. Open but there appears to be a sizable gap between himself and Scottie Scheffler as the stars head to Oakmont Country Club. Advertisement Scheffler is a heavy favorite to win the U.S. Open at +275, per DraftKings Sportsbook. McIlroy is a distant second at +850 to win another major. Fans could see these odds drop even more after McIlroy's poor performance at the RBC Canadian Open. 'I'm going to have to do a lot of practice and a lot of work over the weekend at home and try to at least have a better idea of where my game is going into next week," McIlroy said on Friday, per NBC Sports. Rory McIlroy reacts after playing a bunker shot on the first hole during the second round of the RBC Canadian Open golf Hamilton-Imagn Images Despite entering the tournament as the favorite, McIlroy surprisingly missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open after shooting an 9-over par in the first two rounds. Advertisement McIlroy heads home while only having a better score than four golfers while finishing in 149th place after two rounds. The news comes days after McIlroy had a candid conversation with the media as the golfer claimed that details about his driver failing equipment tests at the PGA Championship were leaked. "Yeah, and also, the driver stuff, I was a little (expletive) off because I knew that Scottie's driver had failed on Monday, but my name was the one that was leaked," McIlroy explained to reporters on Wednesday. "It was supposed to stay confidential. "Two members of the media were the ones that leaked it. And again, I didn't want to get up there and say something that I regretted either, because there's a lot of people (I'm trying to protect). I'm trying to protect Scottie." Advertisement Now, McIlroy will have just a few days to turn the page on missing the cut, a rarity for the star, as the golfer attempts to be in contention to win the U.S. Open. McIlroy is looking to win his second major of 2025 after securing his first green jacket at the Masters in April.
