Event Preview

Sporting eyes of the world will be on Super Bowl LIX on Sunday evening. However, there will be intriguing action on the golf schedule before the big game kicks off, as LIV Golf Riyadh kicks off the new season of the Saudi-backed league. Another star-studded season is set for golf fans, with Jon Rahm coming into 2025 as the defending champion.

The Spanish star picked up an incredible 235.17 points last season, as he finished clear of Joaquin Niemann at the top of the points list. Rahm was a two-time winner on the schedule last season, which included victory at the Chicago event on the penultimate round of the season.

Niemann could prove to be the value play at the current prices after warming up for the LIV opener with a success in Saudi Arabia last week. The Chilean star has been one of the most consistent performers since joining the tour, and was a two-time winner in LIV Golf last season.

Tyrrell Hatton and Bryson DeChambeau both also rank among the leading contenders at the current prices. The former could bring the best recent form into the start of the new campaign after previously landing the Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour.

LIV Golf Riyadh Picks

Another exciting season of LIV Golf action gets underway this weekend. Niemann looks to have an excellent chance. The Chilean was the winner of the Jeddah event in Saudi Arabia last year, and he warmed up for the season opener with an excellent showing in the country last week.
