The Course
Trump National Bedminster has become one of LIV Golf’s signature American venues.
Designed by Tom Fazio, the championship layout stretches beyond 7,500 yards and features dramatic elevation changes, thick rough, expansive bunkering and fast bentgrass greens. The closing stretch is among the strongest on the LIV schedule, rewarding players who combine length with precise iron play.
Unlike some resort-style layouts, Bedminster generally places a premium on driving distance without sacrificing accuracy, creating opportunities for aggressive players while punishing wayward tee shots.
Field
As always, LIV Golf features its full roster of 57 players representing 13 teams and a few wild card players.
The field includes stars such as:
- Jon Rahm
- Bryson DeChambeau
- Cameron Smith
- Joaquin Niemann
- Dustin Johnson
- Tyrrell Hatton
- Sergio Garcia
- Bubba Watson
- Louis Oosthuizen
- Talor Gooch
- Lucas Herbert
- Abraham Ancer
- Carlos Ortiz
- Marc Leishman
- Among others.
Betting Odds
While sportsbooks may vary slightly, the betting board is expected to be led by:
- Jon Rahm 5-1
- Bryson DeChambeau 6-1
- Tyrrell Hatton 7-1
- Joaquin Niemann 9-1
- Lucas Herbert 14-1
Value plays include Lucas Herbert (14-1) after his recent victory in the United Kingdom, along with Dean Burmester (25-1), who seems to shine on Trump courses.
Storylines to Watch
Can Rahm continue his dominance? Jon Rahm has again established himself as the league’s standard bearer, but he enters Bedminster off two poor results. Further, Bedminster has historically rewarded multiple styles of play, leaving the door open for challengers.
Bryson returns to a bomber’s paradise. Few courses on the LIV schedule better suit Bryson DeChambeau’s power game than Bedminster, where length off the tee creates numerous scoring opportunities.
Herbert riding momentum. Lucas Herbert arrives fresh off his victory at LIV Golf United Kingdom and will look to continue his excellent form heading into the closing stretch of the season.
Off-course attention. Bedminster also arrives amid continuing reports that LIV Golf executives are working to secure outside investment to support the league beyond 2026. Multiple reports indicate meetings with prospective investors are expected around the New York event, adding another layer of intrigue beyond the competition itself.
Players to Watch
- Jon Rahm – The player to beat.
- Bryson DeChambeau – Perfect course fit.
- Tyrrell Hatton – Continues to contend regularly.
- Joaquin Niemann – One of the world’s best players under 30.
- Lucas Herbert – Arrives with confidence after his UK victory.
Outlook
LIV Golf New York has all the ingredients to be one of the strongest tournaments of the season. Bedminster consistently produces compelling golf, the individual and team title races are heating up, and significant off-course developments surrounding the league’s future could make this one of the most consequential weeks of 2026 both inside and outside the ropes.
