LIV Golf Jeddah
2023-10-13 05:15:00 EDT
This week, the LIV Golf Tour travels to Saudi Arabia for the 2023 LIV Golf Jeddah event.
Before I dive into my favorite tournament prop bets for this week’s tournament let’s take a quick look at the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I feel are the most vital to a golfer’s success this week.
The 2023 LIV Golf Jeddah event will be played at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia. The golf course is a par 70 that measures approximately 7,010 yards. This track is a rather short coastal golf course that is vulnerable to low scores. It should be noted that the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club previously hosted the Saudi International on the DP World Tour from 2019 through 2021.
The key player statistics that I will be focusing on this week are: driving distance, strokes gained approach, strokes gained around the green, and GIR (greens in regulation).
Now let’s shift our attention to my favorite tournament prop bets for the 2023 LIV Golf Jeddah event!
Here is a golfer to consider placing on your card to finish in the top three.
Dustin Johnson +300
The 2020 Masters champion arrives at this week’s tournament in rather good form. Since the beginning of March, Dustin Johnson has played 11 events on the LIV Golf Tour. In those 11 tournaments just mentioned, Dustin Johnson accumulated eight top 13 finishes, including a win at the 2023 LIV Golf Tulsa event in May.
Additionally, I like the fact that Dustin Johnson has performed well at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in the past. More specifically, Dustin Johnson won the Saudi International in 2019 and 2021.
Here is a golfer to consider placing on your card to finish in the top five.
Abraham Ancer +280
The talented Mexican has accumulated two consecutive top five finishes on the LIV Golf Tour, including a third place result at the 2023 LIV Golf Bedminster event in August.
Similar to Dustin Johnson, Abraham Ancer has played well at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club previously. Abraham Ancer finished sixth at the 2020 Saudi International.
In summary, I am backing Abraham Ancer to post a top five finish at odds of +280.
