10. Sergio Garcia 233.50 pts

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.

Joaquin Niemann


Joaquin Niemann has been in fine form on the LIV Golf Tour and DP World Tour since the beginning of May, recording a T8 in Virginia, a T18 at the PGA Championship, a victory in Korea, a T24 in Andalucia, a T7 at the U.S. Open, a 3rd at the Italian Open, and a T7 at the BMW International Open before missing the cut at the Open Championship last weekend.

Before that, the Chilean golfer missed the cut in his first three starts of the season before finishing T22 in Riyadh, T12 in Adelaide, T41 in Hong Kong, 4th in Singapore, T12 in South Africa, and T20 in Mexico City. 

The eight-time LIV Golf winner has compiled a superb record at LIV Golf United Kingdom, placing 2nd in 2024 before securing a victory in 2025.

Niemann will fancy his chances of back-to-back victories at the JCB Golf & Country Club after his recent performances.

Victor Perez


Victor Perez has been performing well in the LIV Golf League and DP World Tour since the end of March, placing T12 in South Africa, T17 in Mexico City, 11th in Virginia, T2 at the Soudal Open, T23 in Korea, T16 in Andalucia, T9 at the BMW International Open, T9 at the Genesis Scottish Open, and T28 at the Open Championship last weekend.

Before that, the 33-year-old had a fair beginning to his season, finishing T64 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, 54th in Riyadh, T27 in Adelaide, T16 in Hong Kong, and T35 in Singapore.

The Frenchman will make his debut at the LIV Golf United Kingdom this weekend.

Perez appears to have turned the corner and looks set to return to winning ways in England this weekend. 

Dean Burmester


Dean Burmester has been in solid form in his last seven starts on the LIV Golf Tour, placing 7th in Hong Kong, 10th in Singapore, T6 in South Africa, T15 in Mexico City, 4th in Virginia, T23 in Korea, and T27 in Andalucia. 

Before that, Burmester was in decent nick at the start of his season on the DP World Tour and LIV Golf League, finishing T32 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, T51 in Riyadh, T6 in Adelaide, and T20 at the Investec South African Open Championship. 

The two-time LIV Golf winner has featured twice at LIV Golf United Kingdom, finishing T24 in 2024 and T5 in 2025.  

Burmester has been thereabouts lately and should enter calculations at the JCB Golf & Country Club this weekend.

Scott Vincent


Scott Vincent has been in great touch in recent outings, placing 4th in Mexico City, T8 in Virginia, 5th in Korea, 15th in Andalucia, T10 at the International Series in Morocco (Asian Tour) before missing the cut at the Open Championship last weekend. 

Other notable results achieved by Vincent in the LIV Golf League this season include finishing T13 in Riyadh, T24 in Adelaide, T31 in Hong Kong, T17 in Singapore, and 11th in South Africa. 

The Zimbabwean golfer finished T16 at LIV Golf United Kingdom in 2024.

Vincent has been threatening to win lately and can secure the title in England come Sunday.

Verdict

Niemann has been holding form since his previous victory and will fancy his chances of winning another LIV Golf League title this weekend.

Perez comes into this event playing well and could upstage the others at LIV Golf United Kingdom come Sunday.
 
Burmester can pocket the winner's cheque come Sunday if he can replicate his recent results.

Vincent has the form to cause an upset victory in England this weekend.
