LIV Golf Invitational D.C. Power Ratings

Thomas Hawley 0 comment

Brooks Koepka wasn’t the only one to put some polish on the LIV brand in last week’s PGA Championship (which was hosted by the PGA of America, as opposed to the PGA Tour). LIV players Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith also finished in the top 10, and Patrick Reed and Mito Pereira were in the top 20. It is a fairly quick hop for them and 11 other LIV Golf League players to the Washington D.C. area for this week’s event at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls VA. Cameron Smith comes in with a streak of four straight top-10s based on being ninth at the PGA and having a second, third, and sixth in the three prior LIV events.

Players are listed in order of preference. The Power Number reflects the player’s Hawley Rating, fit for the course, past performance in this event, and recent performance in tour events. Observed Odds is the frequency that a player actually wins the event, given the listed Power Number and its margin behind the favorite. This differs from betting odds, which reflect take-out by the sports book and sentiment of the public. Course fit reflects the player’s statistical profile in relationship to the statistical profile of players who have been successful on this course in recent events.
