The final individual tournament of the season has the field headed to Illinois for a third straight year for LIV Golf Chicago. A new venue serves as host this time with Bolingbrook Golf Club having the honors. Only two golfers are mathematically eligible to win the individual championship and the bounty that comes with it. Jon Rahm leads Joaquin Niemann by a slim margin and not surprisingly the two are among the top three favorites on the odds board with Rahm taking a familiar position as the favorite. The Spaniard won for the first time this season two tournaments ago in the UK becoming the eighth first-time winner in the first 11 events. Bryson DeChambeau is the second favorite slightly ahead of Niemann on the odds board. Brooks Koepka won for the second time this season and fifth overall last time out in Greenbrier and sits as the fifth favorite.

Odds Analysis
Tyrrell Hatton +1100
The top two spots in the season-long individual championship race will be decided and so will the third, and there’s a nice payout for that. Hatton currently holds down the slot thanks to three straight top 3s that included a win in Nashville. He made the race closer at Greenbrier, though, by not collecting points for his T25 finish. He has six top 10s this season and used the month between LIV starts to earn a top 20 at the DP World Tour’s British Masters earlier this month.
Dustin Johnson +4000
It’s been a quiet second half of the LIV season for Johnson, who opened with a T5 in Mayakoba and a win in Las Vegas. He has just one top 10 in the last 11 events and that could be enough to wake a sleeping giant. I’m not going all in on him but there is something to be said about DJ’s competitiveness and his recent poor stretch has to be gnawing at him.
Louis Oosthuizen +2200
One of the more consistent players in LIV, Oosthuizen finished among the top 8 in each of his last three starts and has seven top 10s in his 11 completed events. He’s not far behind Hatton for third in the individual points race needing another good showing to have a chance. And I think that’s enough motivation to bet the South African near the top of the leaderboard. And since we seen a number of first-time winners already this year why not make it another one.
Patrick Reed +2500
I’ve given up backing Matthew Wolff and I should probably do the same with Reed, but you know once I do they will accomplishment great things. So I’m secretly behind Wolff and not so secretly pimping Reed, who’s shown glimpses of the ‘Captain America’ player we saw in previous Ryder Cup competitions. Reed usually chews up shorter tracks and Bolingbrook fights right into that category. Reed was T4 on the short track at Andalucia and also had a top 5 in Houston on a course slightly longer.
Cameron Smith +1800
Smith resembled the dominant player he can be in his last four LIV starts placing among the top 10 each time. He missed out on his first win of the season by a single shot to Jon Rahm in the UK and followed that with a T8 at Greenbrier. His late season surge put Smith in the running for third in the individual race overcoming his accuracy off the tee issues. And Bolingbrook is forgiving allowing Smith to let it rip putting himself in contention.
Course: Bolingbrook Golf Club – 7,076 yards, Par 70
Located in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, the club opened in 2002 and is ranked as the No. 1 public course in Illinois. At less than 7,100 yards it’s short by pro standards and a few wrinkles reduced par to 70 for this tournament. Two holes that typically play par 5 were reduced to par 4s. Though it isn’t long, Bolingbrook is a challenging layout that features elevated tee boxes, rolling fairways and numerous lakes scattered around the property. Cameron Smith won the initial LIV Golf Chicago and Bryson DeChambeau is the defending champion. Those tournaments took place at a different venue Rich Harvest Farms. The par-3 sixth is the signature hole. It plays around 165 yards and features an island green. However, going long to avoid the water will put you in thick rough.
