LIV Golf heads to Hong Kong this weekend where Joaquin Niemann will look to continue his dominance in the Saudi-funded breakaway league.

Here are our LIV Hong Kong picks, props and predictions for Hong Kong Golf Club, Sheung Shui, March 8-10.

LIV Golf Hong Kong odds and preview for Sheung Shui

Last week Joaquin Niemann dominated the competition in Jeddah, winning for the second time in just three LIV events. However, Jon Rahm odds are once again the shortest for this week’s LIV Golf Hong Kong tournament. Rahm finished fifth last week, six strokes behind Niemann.

After those two, the trio of Talor Gooch, Bryson DeChambeau and Tyrrell Hatton complete the top five - all with +1200 odds.

• Date: March 8-10
• Location: Hong Kong Golf Club, Sheung Shui, Hong Kong
• Broadcast: LIV Golf+ App, Caffeine TV
• Betting Odds: Jon Rahm (+500 or better to win)

LIV Hong Kong picks & props: Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith odds and more

Here are our favorite LIV Hong Kong picks and predictions, including Jon Rahm props, Cameron Smith props and more.

Jon Rahm props: Top 5 Finish (+100 or better)

Jon Rahm is unquestionably one of the best golfers in the world, and it’s only a matter of time before he claims his first LIV win. He’s third in LIV Golf with a 4.89% birdie rate and ranks sixth off the tee in driving distance (309.9 yards).

He finished fifth last week in Jeddah, and we expect that to be near his floor for LIV Golf events going forward. Look for him to finish in the top-five once more.

Cameron Smith props: Top 10 Finish (+120 or better)

Cameron Smith was one of the most shocking players to leave the PGA Tour for the LIV Tour. He won a British Open and is still very much in the prime of his career. He is one of the best short-game players in the world and extremely creative around the greens. His 1.48 putts per hole leads LIV in that category.

The Aussie has finished in the top-10 once this year and also has a T15 finish. The Fanling Course in Hong Kong is of the shorter variety and will favor putters more than bombers.

Patrick Reed props: Top 10 finish (+260 or better)

Patrick Reed has gotten off to a slow start this season, finishing T17, T37 and T39. His driving distance ranks just 25th on Tour, but it shouldn’t be a huge factor for this Hong Kong course, which plays short and tight.

Reed’s scrambling has been a bright spot (64.17%, 17th) and could come in handy with the unforgiving fairways. This is a borderline LIV long shot pick, but Reed has plenty of top-10 finish potential, which he proved by doing so 57 times on the PGA Tour.
