2025 LIV Golf Hong Kong: Individual and Team Predictions Explored

The LIV Golf Hong Kong event last year was one of the most exciting events of the season on LIV Golf. The Mexican golfer Abraham Ancer won the event in the threeway playoff with Cameron Smith and Paul Casey. So fans are excited for this year's edition and are expecting a similar enthralling finish.

For the individual championship this week, Cameron Smith, Richard Bland and Joaquin Niemann could be the golfers to look out for at LIV Golf Hong Kong. Let's take a look:

1. Cameron Smith

Even though Cameron Smith has had a struggling start to the 2025 LIV Golf season, he has a perfect opportunity this week to bounce back. The Australian golfer's game is perfectly suited for the Hong Kong Golf Club, where accuracy off the tee and an impeccable approach game are crucial.

2. Richard Bland

Richard Bland had an average start to the LIV Golf this season, but he has bounced back with an incredible solo fifth finish at Adelaide. The English golfer is already 52 years old, and hence, he relies mostly on accuracy over distance, which is what is required this week. His T8 finish at LIV Golf Hong Kong last year is also a positive.

3. Joaquin Niemann

Joaquin Niemann has registered a win at the LIV Golf Adelaide and is coming into the Hong Kong event with more confidence than ever. He is also leading the league currently in Green in Regulations, showcasing his accuracy with irons, which is the primary requirement in Hong Kong this week. Additionally, he has also finished T4 in the previous event, including an ace on the par-3 eighth hole.

Other notable golfers who are predicted to have a good outing this week are David Puig, Jon Rahm, Abraham Ancer, and Patrick Reed.
