LIV Golf is back in action for a second straight week, returning to Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore. Once again, we'll provide team power rankings, a brief breakdown of each squad and a predicted order of finish for the individuals in each team.
1. Crushers GC
Coming off the first team playoff win in league history, Ripper GC tops this week's power rankings fresh off a victory in their home country. Cameron Smith should welcome a return to Singapore, where he finished in a share for sixth last season. The group finished in the middle of the pack here last year but may get a boost from Lucas Herbert following his best result of the season last week.
Predicted Order of Finish: Smith, Marc Leishman, Herbert, Matt Jones
2. Torque GC
Torque GC held the lead after the first and second rounds in Adelaide but stumbled down the stretch to finish fourth. Joaquin Niemann continues to lead the individual standings after posting his fourth top-5 result last week. Mito Pereira finally broke out of his slump with his first finish in the top-half of the field, posting a solo eighth result down under, and he also finished fifth in Singapore last year.
Predicted Order of Finish: Niemann, Pereira, Carlos Ortiz, Sebastian Munoz
3. Stinger GC
Still looking for their first win of the season is Stinger GC after losing in a playoff last week for their second runner-up result. Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel were both in the hunt to win the individual event but ultimately finished in second and tied for third place, respectively. We'll see if the momentum carries over to Singapore, where none of the four South Africans posted a top-15 result last year.
Predicted Order of Finish: Oosthuizen, Dean Burmester, Schwartzel, Branden Grace
4. Crushers GC
Crushers GC holds the top spot in the season-long standings but are trending downward with finishes of sixth and T7 over their last two tournaments. Captain Bryson DeChambeau posted his worst finish of the season (T26) last week and was T19 here a year ago. The group posted a respectable third place result here in 2023, led by Charles Howell III's T8 result.
Predicted Order of Finish: DeChambeau, Howell III, Paul Casey, Anirban Lahiri
5. Legion XIII
Sitting second in the overall team standings we find Legion XIII, who outside of a clunker in Hong Kong have finished no worse than T5 in the other five tournaments. Jon Rahm continues to impress and now has four top-5 showings. Caleb Surratt has finished in the top-half in back-to-back tournaments, while Tyrrell Hatton has been steady with five top-15 results.
Predicted Order of Finish: Rahm, Hatton, Surratt, Kieran Vincent
6. HyFlyers GC
The HyFlyers make a big jump up five spots in this week's rankings after making the podium for the first time this year. That was led by Brendan Steele's maiden LIV victory and first top-10 since last August. The team also got a big contribution from Andy Ogletree, whose T3 finish was his career-best on LIV. Cameron Tringale and Phil Mickelson both had top-15s in Singapore last year.
Predicted Order of Finish: Tringale, Steele, Ogletree, Mickelson
7. Smash GC
Smash GC is still looking for their form as they've finished in bottom-half of the standings in three consecutive tournaments, including a season-worst 11th in Adelaide. Singapore is as good a place for them to bounce back as any, as Talor Gooch is the defending individual champion, while Brooks Koepka (solo third) and Jason Kokrak (T6) also had strong showings. One of the top teams from an upside standpoint.
Predicted Order of Finish: Gooch, Koepka, Kokrak, Graeme McDowell
8. Fireballs GC
Last year's runner-up in Singapore, the Fireballs are in need of a strong week as they've fallen all the way down to ninth in the team standings after posting their worst finish of the season last week. They'll look for a spark from captain Sergio Garcia, who lost in a playoff to Gooch here a year ago. Abraham Ancer continues to play well with three straight top-10 finishes, but the team needs better performances from their two young guns.
Predicted Order of Finish: Garcia, Ancer, David Puig, Eugenio Chacarra
9. RangeGoats GC
The RangeGoats serve as this week's defending champions, although that was largely in part to Gooch and Harold Varner III, who are now with different teams. This year's squad has been hit-or-miss with two podium finishes and four results of ninth or worse. Leading the team recently has been Thomas Pieters with two straight top-15 finishes. With Sensota playing over 7,400 yards, perhaps the quartet of long hitters can take advantage of their strength.
Predicted Order of Finish: Peter Uihlein, Pieters, Matthew Wolff, Bubba Watson
10. Cleeks GC
One of only four teams without a podium finish this season, the Cleeks haven't shown much upside with Adrian Meronk leading the way at 19th in the individual standings. They've also managed not to finish last or second-to-last, and it's the little things at this point. Richard Bland (T36) and Martin Kaymer (T41) didn't show much in Singapore last year, while Kalle Samooja is still looking for a top-25 result.
Predicted Order of Finish: Meronk, Samooja, Bland, Kaymer
11. 4Aces GC
The 4Aces drop two spots in the rankings to 11th – the lowest we've had them this season. The addition of Varner hasn't worked out as planned thus far, as he has a best finish of T15 and is 44th in the individual standings. His T8 result in Singapore last year is the best of the group, however. Dustin Johnson has the potential to carry the weight for the team but has failed to post a top-20 since his win in Vegas.
Predicted Order of Finish: Patrick Reed, Johnson, Varner III, Pat Perez
12. Iron Heads GC
The Iron Heads may be in last in the season-long team standings but their solo sixth place finish in Australia was their best yet. Jinichiro Kozuma held the first-round lead before ultimately finishing T9, which should give the LIV rookie some confidence going forward. Scott Vincent also finished solo fourth in Singapore last year, and Danny Lee posted his first top-10 last week.
Predicted Order of Finish: Vincent, Kevin Na, Kozuma, Lee
13. Majesticks GC
Closing out this week's power rankings and moving down one spot are the Majesticks following a dismal showing in Adelaide in which they finished dead last by a whopping 19 shots. It's difficult to be optimistic about things getting much better in Singapore considering Ian Poulter's T27 result here last year was the best of the group. Henrik Stenson leads the team in the individual standings, albeit in 35th place.
Predicted Order of Finish: Stenson, Poulter, Sam Horsfield, Lee Westwood
