Ian Wilkerson's LIV Nashville predictions

Sergio Garcia
2pts each-way 18-1 BoyleSports

Joaquin Niemann
1pt each-way 11-1 Coral, Ladbrokes

New AK BETS customers can claim up to £50 in free bets if their player misses the cut in any tournament.

Bryson DeChambeau was the toast of LIV Golf when he won the US Open on Sunday and it is little surprise to see the big-hitting boffin at the head of the market for the breakaway tour's latest get-together in Nashville this week.

DeChambeau has yet to come out on top of a LIV event this year and the same can be said of former world number one Jon Rahm, who is expected to play despite missing the last event at Houston and the Pinehurst Major with a toe injury.

Top tip

Sergio Garcia 18-1

A returning Major champion may be excused for feeling pressure to perform, but that seems unlikely to affect DeChambeau, who always seems to take these things in his stride.

However, his 7-1 price may be a bit skinny, and there is good value is backing another player who will look back on a job well done at Pinehurst.

Former Masters champion Sergio Garcia gained a US Open spot as an alternate, but he made the most of his opportunity and finished a creditable 12th, a performance that came a week after he was fifth at LIV Houston.

Garcia has always been a top level tee-to-green performer and he could gain rewards from some aggressive golf on this Tennessee test which makes its debut in top-level competition

Next best bet

Joaquin Niemann 11-1

While DeChambeau has claimed the recent headlines, Chile's Joaquin Niemann has been the most consistent performer on the LIV Tour this year and he could boost his position at the top of the individual standings even further.

He was 32nd at Houston, but that performance was explained by a poor final round of 77 and, as he was unable to qualify for Pinehurst, he has had plenty of time to think about what went wrong.

Niemann has finished in the top ten in six of the year's eight events, including wins at Mayakoba and Jeddah, and it would not be a big surprise if he got back on track this week.
