INDIVIDUAL

Bryson DeChambeau - The Crushers have been on a tear with three straight team victories, and their captain Bryson DeChambeau has been leading by example – it’s no accident he currently resides in second place in the season-long individual standings. He broke a string of four consecutive top-five LIV Golf finishes in Dallas, but even there he made a Sunday charge with a with a 4-under 68 to finish just two strokes out of a playoff, eventually won by Patrick Reed. He also has a solid track record at Valderrama, finishing 9th last year and 2nd in 2023, so expect to see more brilliance out of DeChambeau this weekend in Spain.

TEAM

4Aces GC - The 4Aces have flown under the radar this season, but they quietly sit fourth in the season-long team standings as they enter LIV Golf Andalucia fresh off back-to-back runner-up finishes. Patrick Reed is the obvious current headliner for the 4Aces, looking for his second straight LIV Golf individual victory with an eye on a Ryder Cup captain’s pick – it also doesn’t hurt that he finished T4 at Valderrama in 2024 and T5 in 2023. But captain Dustin Johnson , Harold Varner III and Thomas Pieters have all shown some form recently that should lead to this team’s fifth podium finish of 2025, or possibly their first victory since 2023.

INDIVIDUAL

Patrick Reed - No LIV Golf player has a better average finish the last two years at Valderrama than Patrick Reed, who was T4 last year and T5 in 2023. The course sets up well for his game, and he’s obviously in form after the win in Dallas. He could join Talor Gooch as the only players to win consecutive individual LIV Golf titles.

TEAM

Crushers GC - Speaking of winning streaks … the Crushers has won three straight and now come to a course that probably owes them one. In 2023, they shared the second-round team lead but had a rare Sunday stumble and finished third. Last year, they lost in a playoff to the Fireballs. Four straight wins doesn’t seem unlikely this week.

INDIVIDUAL

Tyrrell Hatton - Tyrrell Hatton finished solo third at LIV Golf Andalucia last season and his game is primed for another high finish. The Legion XIII star was in position to win at LIV Golf Dallas two weeks ago before falling in a playoff. His major championship juices are also flowing with The Open taking place next week, and his memories of a stellar T4 finish recently at the U.S. Open are still fresh.

TEAM

Legion XIII - Jon Rahm's team is coming off a third-place showing in Dallas and is the only team to notch points in every event this season. They enter this week No. 2 in the season-long team standings, a mere 5.34 points behind leader Crushers GC. Legion has five top-3 finishes in 2025 and two team victories.

INDIVIDUAL

Louis Oosthuizen - This season, Louis Oosthuizen 's three best finishes have come outside of the United States. The Stinger GC captain has always played his best golf as evidenced by his 10 DP World Tour wins and Open Championship victory. Oosthuizen may not be able to keep up with some of LIV Golf's big hitters on tracks that favor distance over accuracy, but Valderrama will be a test of strategy and precision, which is where Oosthuizen can shine.

TEAM

Stinger GC - Stinger GC is winless this season, but I believe this could be the week they break through. Louis Oosthuizen had his best start of the season in Dallas and may now be the best LIV Golf player without a win after Patrick Reed’s victory. Dean Burmester is coming into the week confident with a medalist finish at The Open Championship qualifier and Branden Grace has quietly strung together three solid performances in a row.
