Joaquin Niemann vs. Brooks Koepka Niemann, with just two career PGA Tour wins and no major titles, isn’t as sexy of a pick as Koepka, but he’s playing better golf right now. The 26-year-old Chilean has won two LIV Golf tournaments this year and has three top-five finishes. Niemann has yet to place worse than 35th in 2025. Koepka has outplayed Niemann just once this year — at last week’s LIV Golf Miami, which is a mere warm-up for The Masters. Niemann has been solid at Augusta throughout his career, making the cut four out of five starts while finishing top-25 in the past two tournaments.

Back Niemann as a small favorite against his LIV colleague. The play: Joaquin Niemann over Brooks Koepka (-118, BetMGM Sportsbook) 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.
