LIV Golf Masters Form Guide - How Well Have The 12 Men In The Field Been Playing Ahead Of Augusta?
Some doubts have been cast on how well the 12 LIV Golf players in the Masters field have been performing ahead of Augusta National, so let's take a look at their form


There are 12 LIV Golf players teeing it up in The Masters, but what are their chances of challenging at Augusta National?
Brandel Chamblee has dismissed Bryson DeChambeau's chances of going close again at Augusta, citing not only his form but also because of LIV Golf not being the best barometer.
DeChambeau went close at the PGA Championship before winning the US Open after securing his first Masters top 10 last year, but his stats and results have been mixed so far in 2025.
The Official World Golf Ranking can't be used as a great indicator these days with LIV Golf events not receiving points, but Data Golf rankings are a useful pointer, so those combined with recent form and Augusta form is a decent way of judging how well players will go at The Masters.
Jon Rahm is the obvious standout as Data Golf has him as the fourth best player in the world right now, he won The Masters in 2024 and is the reigning LIV Golf individual champion.
He's a top 10 machine on LIV Golf and whatever your thoughts on the event his consistency has been fantastic.
A T45 at Augusta last year can be put down to defending champions having so much on their plates and coming just after joining LIV - so even LIV's harshest critics would admit Rahm should be among the Masters favourites this time around.

Joaquin Niemann is a fantastic ball striker and has two LIV wins already this season so knows how to get the job done - and his No.11 spot on Data Golf illustrates what a talent he is.
The Chilean has a question mark over him in the Majors though, and the same could be said about Tyrrell Hatton who at No.15 in the Data Golf ranking is obviously one of the best players in the world.
LIV results haven't been great since a T6 opener, but winning the Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour at the start of the year is enough to satisfy anyone that he's a top talent.
Sergio Garcia has a horrific Masters record since winning it in 2017, but piecing together his recent form shows you he's definitely on the up - adding a LIV victory in 2025 to his one last year along with two playoff losses.
A T12 at the last US Open showed he can still perform in Majors and with a Ryder Cup on his mind he seems to have upped the intensity of his game.
Brooks Koepka has always been a tough one to judge as he's always saved his best form for the Majors, but a second and T7 in LIV are still promising results to work with.
Cameron Smith's form has been a worry but he and Patrick Reed both have excellent Augusta National form and both head down Magnolia Lane after promising results at LIV Golf Miami.
Other former winners Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson have just one LIV top 10 between them, so regardless of the standard that's not a great return.
Charl Schwartzel finished second in Miami and Phil Mickelson has a third ans sixth in four events on LIV in 20225, and remember he was a runner-up at The Masters in 2023 so you could never totally write him off around Augusta.

Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website. Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
