Non-Captains (5)

Dean Burmester – Stinger GC

Burmester was the second-best full-time LIV Golfer at the Open behind Rahm, and the South African was in early contention for the Claret Jug before dropping down the leaderboard after a five-over 76 in the third round Saturday. While Burmester hasn’t been the most accurate off the tee this season, he manages to get himself out of trouble, ranking eighth in scrambling (66.25 percent). He also ranks fifth in driving distance (316.2 yards) and 12th in both GIR (70.37 percent) and putting average (1.58).

Patrick Reed – 4Aces GC

Reed has quietly finished in the top-five in two of the last three LIV Golf tournaments, including a T4 finish in Andalucia when he carded a four-under 67 in the final round when he carded five birdies from holes one to eight. He ranked second at LIV Golf Andalucia in birdies made (14), sixth in scrambling (70.37 percent) and 12th in driving accuracy (57.14 percent).

Tyrrell Hatton – Legion XIII

Like DeChambeau, The Open was a disappointment for Hatton, as he missed the cut for the first time across all major outings this season. Still, Hatton is the only player to finish in the top-24 in every LIV Golf tournament this season and has finished in the top-five in three of the last four events, highlighted by his six-stroke victory in Nashville. He ranks second this season in both putting average (1.52) and birdies per round (4.73) and fifth in scrambling (68.45 percent).

John Catlin – Crushers GC

Catlin will fill in for Charles Howell III (tibia) for the fourth-straight LIV Golf tournament at JCB. Leader of the Asian Tour Order of Merit and International Series Rankings, Catlin has taken advantage of his extended play on the LIV Golf tour, finishing in the top-24 in all three outings. Catlin’s strong play carried into Royal Troon, where his T16 finish marked his best performance at a major in his young career. LIV Golf captains will surely be lining up this offseason to sign Catlin to their squad.

Richard Bland – Cleeks GC

It’s hard to ignore the consistency Bland has had this season, particularly over the last two LIV Golf tournaments where he has finished T9 and T14 in Nashville and Andalucia, respectively. He’s found plenty of success outside of the league, winning both the Senior PGA Championship and Senior U.S. Open Championship. Bland ranks fourth this season in GIR (72.04 percent) and 10th in driving accuracy (62.14 percent).

Others to consider: Paul Casey, Crushers GC (finished T17 or better in the last three LIV Golf tournaments, ranks second this season in GIR (72.59 percent), sixth in scrambling (68.24 percent) and seventh in driving accuracy (64.05 percent)), Abraham Ancer, Fireballs GC (finished T58 at The Open, leads the LIV Golf league this season in driving accuracy (68.1 percent) and 10th in GIR (70.56 percent)).
