LIV Golf Andalucia: Picks, Predictions and Odds

The LIV Golf circuit has moved to Spain for LIV Golf Andalucia, which will act as a warm-up event for 16 players who are competing in next week's Open Championship.

Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau are among those playing in Spain this week before jetting to Scotland for the final Major of the season.

Former Ryder Cup stars Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer look lively title contenders, while Abraham Ancer can threaten a second LIV triumph.

Here, we have our picks and predictions for LIV Golf's trip to Spain in 2024.

2024 LIV Golf Andalucia betting picks and predictions

Sergio Garcia to win +1100

Valderrama is Sergio Garcia's favorite golf course and the local hero relishes every chance he gets to compete at this famous venue. He has been teeing up at the track since he was a teenager and became a regular contender there on the DP World Tour.

Garcia has won the Andalucia Masters at Valderrama three times. He has also finished second at the course three times.

In 16 appearances at Valderrama as a professional, Garcia has posted a staggering 15 top-10 finishes.

Garcia feels he is the man to beat whenever he gets to Valderrama - the course fully rewards his trademark precision - and he is particularly motivated for this visit.

Having failed to qualify for the Open Championship while getting a controversial slow-play warning in his West Lancashire qualifier last week, the former Masters champion is entirely focused on LIV Golf Andalucia.

The 44-year-old has been unfortunate in his LIV career, losing three playoffs, but this week's assignment appears a golden opportunity for an overdue breakthrough.

Martin Kaymer to win +12500

Former world number one Martin Kaymer has got over his injury issues and appears to be making a resurgence at the age of 39. Kaymer, a two-time Major champion who was one of the most feared players in the game until his body started letting him down, has made the cut in the last two Majors.

Kaymer has posted three recent top-20s on the LIV circuit - in Adelaide, Singapore and Houston - and also showed some encouraging form on his return to the DP World Tour last week.In his homeland, the German finished 32nd of 156 players in the BMW International Open in Munich, carding four solid rounds.

Kaymer adores the challenge of Valderrama. He finished sixth on his course debut in the 2007 Volvo Masters at Valderrama, then second the following year. He was sixth in the 2016 Spanish Open there, then second in the 2020 Andalucia Masters at the track. This experienced campaigner looks like a lively outsider.

Abraham Ancer to win +2800

Unlike Garcia, Abraham Ancer qualified for the Open Championship, coming through a playoff at Burnham and Berrow GC to book a ticket for Royal Troon. A relieved Ancer should enjoy himself at Valderrama this week before he gets on the plane to Scotland.

Ancer's game is well suited to the challenge of Valderrama. This short but straight hitter can plot a safe passage along the tree-lined fairways. He won LIV Golf Hong Kong in March at a venue which put a similar premium on accuracy - and Ancer could repeat the trick in Spain.

Ancer followed his Hong Kong heroics with top-10 finishes in Miami, Adelaide and Singapore, building a solid bank of form. The Texas-based 33-year-old won the 2021 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, so he has proved he can overcome elite opposition.

Victories at the 2018 Australian Open and the 2023 Saudi International are also on Ancer's resume, underlining his ability to perform all over the globe.
