Who will be next to make the jump to LIV Golf? Gambling site has Patrick Cantlay, Hideki Matsuyama as the leaders – Yahoo Sports

As the second event of the LIV Golf Series is set to begin Thursday in Oregon, many are speculating about who might be the next PGA Tour player to jump to the Saudi-backed league.

One website, Bookies.com, has already put odds on the next player who will make the leap and ultimately grab as much cash as possible. According to a release from the site, it examined public comments from the remaining 21 players in order to look at the odds that any one of them will jump ship and commit to LIV in the near future.

Is it pure speculation? Most definitely. Rory McIlroy, as you might expect after his comments about those who have left the PGA Tour, is a long shot. However, the site has a number of prominent players listed as favorites to be the next to sell out.

Here are the odds listed by the website:
