Overview

• Joaquin Niemann has won five of the first 11 LIV Golf events and holds a substantial points lead with only two tournaments remaining.
• Jon Rahm stands as Niemann’s sole realistic challenger, having finished outside the top 10 just once this season.
• Bolingbrook Golf Club hosts the penultimate stop, offering the season’s richest individual payout with a $20 million prize fund.
• Talor Gooch and Tom McKibbin ride recent form—Gooch’s Valderrama victory and McKibbin’s back-to-back top-five finishes—into the Chicago field.
• Former Chicago champions Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith, along with Ryder Cup hopeful Tyrrell Hatton, aim for strong showings to secure season goals.
