Before a record number of LIV golfers head to The Open Championship next week, all 54 players on the PIF-backed circuit will compete at LIV Golf Andalucia between Friday and Sunday.
Sergio Garcia is the defending champion thanks to a tense playoff victory over Anirban Lahiri in 2024, and he is among the fancied players to triumph again at Real Club Valderrama.
If he is to do it, though, the Fireballs GC captain will have to see off the challenges of the in-form Tyrrell Hatton and Jon Rahm from Legion XIII as well as the effervescent Bryson DeChambeau, who are among the shortest-priced pros in Spain.
Elsewhere, there is plenty of value to be found at Valderrama with the short and tight layout offering those without the prodigious power of a DeChambeau or a Joaquin Niemann the chance to triumph.
Below, we’ve listed the odds for many of the leading players in the field as well as our favorite and sleeper picks for LIV Golf Andalucia 2025.
LIV Golf Andalucia Course Guide: Real Club Valderrama
Real Club Valderrama might be one of the most famous golf courses in the world, and certainly in Europe, but it only opened in 1974 after being designed by renowned architect, Robert Trent Jones.
Since then, it has been modified slightly, hosted the first Ryder Cup away from the British Isles and the United States (1997), and welcomed multiple European Tour events.
The fiddly 7,000-yard course is framed by thousands of cork trees and places an emphasis on accuracy over power, therefore those with greater control have tended to perform better over the years.
Valderrama will have four par-4 holes under 400 yards this week, its longest par-3 will be 225 yards and its longest par-5 will be 564 yards. The latter is La Cascada, which is the course’s signature hole and features a two-tier green right next to an idyllic-looking pond.
