5 golfers to watch at 2024 LIV Golf Greenbrier ft. Bryson DeChambeau
The LIV Golf professionals are set to compete at the LIV Golf Greenbrier this week for the 12th event of the season. This will be the second straight year they will be returning to the Old White Course.
Similar to all the Saudi-backed circuit events, the LIV Golf Greenbrier will also be a 54-player field with a $25 million purse size. The event will be crucial for many players, as they will look to get inside the lock zone.
In this article, we will look at five players to watch at the LIV Golf Greenbrier.
5 golfers to look at at 2024 LIV Golf Greenbrier ft. Bryson DeChambeau
1) Bryson DeChambeau
Last year, Bryson DeChambeau cemented his name in the record books at Greenbrier by breaking the course record. With a 12-under 58 on Sunday, he became the first winner of the event.
This time, the pressure will be high on DeChambeau as he looks to defend his title. Additionally, he will be hoping for a strong performance after a slight hiccup after missing the cut at the Open.
2) Jon Rahm
Jon Rahm has been quite consistent in his first season on LIV Golf, but he took it to the next level when he won LIV Golf UK last month. Since then, he has regained his form at the Majors, finishing T7 at the Open Championship, his first top-10 finish of the year. He also held a 54-hole joint lead at the Olympics but ultimately finished in fifth place.
Rahm will be hoping to continue his good run this week at LIV Golf Greenbrier and dethrone Joaquin Niemann in the season standings.
3) Peter Uihlein
Peter Uihlein's name might surprise a lot of golf fans, but last week he won the International Series England, his maiden win on the Asian Tour.
Considering Uihlein is coming to LIV Golf Greenbrier fresh off registering his first win in a decade, his first LIV title might not be that far away.
4) Tyrrell Hatton
It wouldn't be wrong to say that Tyrrell Hatton has been the most consistent player on LIV Golf over the past couple of months. In his last three starts, he has registered a win, finished as a runner-up, and also secured a third-place finish.
Hatton is currently third in the season standings, and a win at LIV Golf Greenbrier would significantly boost his chances of winning the individual championship.
5) Joaquin Niemann
If Jon Rahm has made top-10 finishes in all his LIV Golf starts this season, Joaquin Niemann isn't far behind. He has achieved nine top-10 finishes in 11 appearances and has also secured two titles.
As Rahm looks to catch up to Niemann, the Chilean golfer will aim to win at Greenbrier to widen the gap between them.
