- Tom McKibbin E/W @ 33/1

LIV Golf Chicago Predictions
Joaquin Niemann to Win @ 13/2
Joaquin Niemann is the man to beat it seems at LIV Golf this season, hence why he is our prediction to reign once again in Chicago this week.
This might seem like a fairly obviously and uninspired prediction, but it’s just impossible to ignore the sheer dominance the 27-year-old has show on LIV this year.
Priced as the third favourite at odds of 13/2 with golf betting sites, Niemann is our pick to win his sixth individual title of the season and eighth overall come Sunday at Bolingbrook Golf Club.
If he does, the Chilean will clinch the Individual Championship with an event to spare, showing just how dominant he has been for the entire LIV Golf season in 2025.
He won a fortnight ago at LIV Golf UK by three strokes, as well as coming runner-up in this event 12 months ago when Jon Rahm claimed the Chicago title.
Here at SportsCasting, we believe the eight-time LIV winner will claim victory once again this week at LIV Chicago. At odds of 13/2, the 27-year-old is out outright pick to win this week.
Tom McKibbin each-way @ 33/1
Despite only joining LIV this year, Tom McKibben has enjoyed a relatively successful start to life in the Saudi-backed golf league.
The Northern Irishman joined up with Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and co as part of the Legion XIII team, who currently lead the team standing with four wins ahead of both Crusher GC and Fireballs GC who both have three.
McKibben finished in a tie for 11th last time out at LIV Golf UK, as well as finishing T4 in Andalucia and T5 at LIV Golf Dallas prior to that.
Although he’s yet to win an individual title, two top 5 finishes in your last three LIV starts and a tie for 11th is solid form.
For this reason, SportsCasting‘s first each-way selection for LIV Golf Chicago is Tom McKibben at odds of 33/1.
Brooks Koepka each-way @ 50/1
Another each-way selection that we simply can’t ignore is that of five-time major champion Brooks Koepka.
The American has struggled with his game this season, both on LIV and in the majors as a whole. However, it’s no secret that when ‘Brooksy’ is on it, he wins. Simple.
All it takes is for Koepka to be somewhere near his best and he’s right back in the mix. He is still finding his way back to form and certainly has what it takes to beat everyone in world golf on his day.
Koepka boasts a $60m net worth and has won five times on LIV since joining the rival tour back in 2022. Yes, he’s not in the best of form, but he can turn it on at the click of a finger.
At huge odds of 50/1, we simply cannot ignore Brooks Koepka as our second each-way selection for LIV Golf Chicago this week.
LIV Golf Chicago Preview
All eyes are on Bolingbrook Golf Club this week as LIV Golf Chicago takes centre-stage in what is the penultimate individual event of the season before the Team Championship finale in Michigan at the end of the month.
Joaquin Niemann has been the star of the show at LIV this season, winning five of the 11 LIV Golf events so far this campaign. Not only that, but Niemann now has the most individual LIV Golf wins in history following his record seventh title at LIV Golf UK last month.
Jon Rahm is yet to win an event on LIV this year, but has been consistently knocking on the door week in, week out. Rest assured the Spaniard will once again be in contention come Sunday, looking for his first win of the season.
In total there are 54 players teeing it up at Bolingbrook this week in what is the second time the Chicago golf club will play host to a LIV Golf event. Prior to moving to Bolingbrook, Rich Harvest Farms hosted the 2022 and 2023 LIV Golf Chicago events.
These 54 players are, as usual on LIV, split into 13 groups of four with two wildcards. A whole host of players are capable of reigning supreme this week, but they are all trying to catch the 27-year-old golf sensation Niemann first and foremost.
Niemann can actually clinch the individual title in Chicago this week, given his commanding lead in the Individual Championship race. If he does, he would become the first player in history to do so with events to spare.
So, who will reign supreme at Bolingbrook GC and claim victory at LIV Golf Chicago come Sunday after 54 holes?
