LIV Golf Orlando Power Ratings

Thomas Hawley 0 comment

It’s another inscrutable LIV event this week. Orange County National in Winter Park FL, located about seven miles north of Walt Disney World, is the host course for LIV Golf Orlando. The Masters next week will give a little insight into how these LIV players are holding up competitively in their bubble. Danny Lee and Charles Howell were winners of the year’s first two LIV events, and Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, and Talor Gooch continue to be the top three computer picks. Howell and Johnson have not competed in anything other than LIV events since last July. Gooch and Smith had non-top-10 appearances in Middle East events in February before the LIV opener. Lee is a more recent LIV signee, joining after playing five PGA Tour events in January-February. His best there was 16th in the AmEx. Take your pick.

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.
