Veritex Bank Championship – Korn Ferry Tour · Noah Goodwin + · Trent Phillips +, · Kristoffer Ventura + · Trevor Cone + With hundreds of thousands of people rolling into town this week for Super Bowl 58, LIV Golf is looking to capitalize on the audience. Rahm is.
Combine that with one less round and or under-par seems like a realistic expectation for a winning score for the inaugural LIV Golf Hong Kong. That being said, this is a perfect spot for him to show why he is one of the best players in the League. As mentioned earlier, Smith finished second on this golf course last fall and always seems to play well in this part of the world.
The Aussie should be helped out by not having to hit so many drivers and he remains atop the league in putts per GIR. Hoping to avoid some of the chalk options this week for this category, Oosthuizen makes a fine choice as your Captain in Hong Kong. He is coming off a strong T2 showing at Jeddah where he is second in driving accuracy and third in scrambling.
Keeping the ball in play and scrambling at a high rate around these tricky green complexes will go a long way this week. The South African scored a pair of wins in South Africa and Mauritius in December and he will be hoping to add another one here. It's hard to leave Gooch off this category most weeks. Gooch also has seen this course before having played in the Hong Kong Open in November.
Not only is Gooch a strong ball-striker at third in driving accuracy and 15th in GIR percentage, but he also leads the league in scrambling. If fairways and greens are the objective, you'd be hard pressed to find a man more up to the task than Casey. The Englishman is fourth in driving accuracy and leads in GIR percentage this season.
Casey has also had an underrated short game throughout his career and he ranks 10th in scrambling early this season after consistent finishes of TT5-T29 through the first three events. He also played the last three International Series events of and logged top results in all of them, including a T12 in Hong Kong.
McDowell ranks top in both driving accuracy and GIR percentage so far this season and we know he can get hot on the greens. Hatton is about as safe of a roster add as you can get this week. Hatton checks every box, he keeps the ball in play, has tremendous control with the irons, an underrated short game and can go pour in putts with the best of them when he is clicking.
I doubt most people would guess that Munoz is fourth so far this season in birdies per round. He has shown that he has the firepower to score that coveted first LIV Golf win, but he needs to minimize the mistakes. The good news is that ball-striking hasn't been the issue as he ranks top in both driving accuracy and GIR percentage.
Munoz has gone TT9-T22 to begin The South African team had a poor outing in Las Vegas, but more than made up for it with a runner-up finish in Jeddah. Liv golf predictions Hong Kong sets up well for all their players because they all feature strong short games and know how to play positional golf. They have combined for four wins and five other top-three finishes in the last four months around the globe.
This team has been revamped this season and very well might be the ones to beat at the end of the year. The iron play is what really stands out here as all four members rank in the top this season in GIR percentage. Gooch and McDowell have been mentioned above, but Jason Kokrak also has finished top-six in the last two events and you know Brooks Koepka wants to break the tie for most LIV Golf wins with his fourth career title.
Quietly finished top in seven of his last eight LIV Golf events. Like all standard events in the LIV Golf schedule, LIV Jeddah will be played over 54 holes across three days, with a shotgun start each day and no cut. Hudson Swafford has signed to take a wildcard spot for the entire season, while Anthony Kim will take the final spot as a solo player.
The team-assigned players compete in two competitions simultaneously — an individual event and a team event. Royal Greens opened in and is a par 72 playing to a maximum length of just over 7, yards. Brooks Koepka is the obvious pick. The American clearly suits this event, having won it in and Dustin Johnson should be in contention. Jon Rahm will be keen to break his LIV duck sooner rather than later following his mega-money switch at the end of Paul Casey could be a decent outside pick.
