LIV Golf will have 12 players representing them at Augusta National. The 2025 Masters Tournament is just around the corner. The biggest tournament of the season will kick off on April 10, 2025. It will feature the biggest names in the world of golf like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland, and many more. They will also be joined by the best that LIV Golf has to offer.
The list of 12 golfers who will represent LIV Golf this year ranges from past champions to high-ranked individuals. But who among them can surprise the PGA Tour pros and win the Green Jacket event? Let’s take a look at the five best bets from LIV Golf who can win the $20 million first major of the year!
1- Jon Rahm
If there is one golfer who has displayed utter dominance in LIV Golf in the last couple of years, it’s Jon Rahm. The 2023 Masters Tournament champion has been in amazing form since joining the Saudi-based league. Over the 17 tournaments he has played since 2024, Rahm has never finished outside the top 10 even once.
The Spaniard had two wins, one runner-up, and three third-place finishes last year. He has continued that form in the first five rounds of the 2025 LIV Golf season. Rahm’s worst finish came in LIV Golf Miami recently where he finished at T9. The 2x major champion is certainly the best play LIV Golf has to offer and he will be a force to reckon with in the 2025 Masters Tournament.
2- Sergio Garcia
Sergio Garcia is one of the most experienced players in LIV Golf. He is also incredibly accomplished in his 26-year career as a professional golfer. The Spanish veteran has played in the Masters Tournament 25 times in his career. Moreover, he has only missed the major once during the pandemic in 2020. During this period, Garcia has managed four top-10 finishes, including his win at the 2017 edition of the tournament.
Speaking of his LIV Golf record, the Castellon local has already secured a win and a third-place finish this season. His excellent performance in 2025 has helped him rise to the second position on the individual leaderboard. Looking to fulfill his Ryder Cup 2025 dream, Sergio Garcia will be looking to capitalize on every opportunity he gets to qualify for Team Europe. And a Masters Tournament win will certainly help him secure his place in the squad.
3- Joaquin Niemann
Out of all the LIV Golf pros who will be playing in the 2025 Masters Tournament, Joaquin Niemann has received a special invitation. Why you ask? That’s because he has been absolutely brilliant over the last few months. After ending the 2024 LIV Golf season in second place on the individual leaderboard, he participated in the International Series. He grabbed a win at the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers late last year.
Niemann continued his great form at the International Series India 2025, finishing third behind Ollie Schniederjans and Bryson DeChambeau. He has also bagged two wins in the five tournaments he has played in LIV Golf this year, ranking at the top of the individual leaderboard. There is no question about why he was invited to the major. In fact, he is definitely a favorite to go on and win the 2025 Masters Tournament on April 13, 2025!
4- Phil Mickelson
From 2004 to 2010, Phil Mickelson won the Masters Tournament thrice. On all three occasions, he beat a formidable field that included his biggest rivals in the form of Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, and the veteran who recently withdrew from the 2025 edition of the tournament, Vijay Singh.
He also became the oldest golfer to win a major in 2021 when he captured the PGA Championship. Moreover, Mickelson has also been in great form in LIV Golf this season with third and sixth-place finishes in Hong Kong and Miami respectively. Lefty certainly knows how to grab wins and he will be eager to bag his fourth Green Jacket at Augusta National this year. This makes Phil Mickelson one of the favorites to win the 2025 Masters Tournament.
5- Bryson DeChambeau
Bryson DeChambeau had a spectacular 2024. He may have not achieved much in LIV Golf, but the mad scientist certainly grabbed a lot of attention. His 2024 U.S. Open win and the success of his YouTube channel have left DeChambeau on a high. He nearly converted that into a win in the 2025 International Series India. Moreover, the 2025 LIV Golf season has been incredible for him. The American has yet to finish outside the top 20 in any event.
Three of those tournaments also saw him rank within the top 10. Looking to get back to winning ways, Augusta National presents the perfect challenge for the 31-year-old to win his third major. And with his unique style of strokeplay, Bryson DeChambeau will be a threat to everyone on the field in the Green Jacket major.
Other than these 5 juggernauts, Brooks Koepka, Tyrrell Hatton, and Dustin Johnson are also capable of going all the way through in the 2025 Masters Tournament. Hatton will definitely be eyeing his first major win as he too is eager to secure a spot in Team Europe just like Sergio Garcia.
