LIV Golf betting is available in the US, but only through select sportsbooks in approved states. In 2024, BetMGM was permitted to offer LIV Golf odds in 16 US states, Puerto Rico, Ontario, and Washington, D.C., while DraftKings and FanDuel also listed pre-tournament outright lines for LIV events.
Which sportsbooks offer LIV Golf betting?
Three major US operators have offered LIV Golf markets: BetMGM, DraftKings, and FanDuel. BetMGM led the way with the broadest state footprint — 16 states — for pre-tournament outrights in 2024. DraftKings and FanDuel added outright lines as well, though market depth (props, matchups, round leaders) varied considerably by book and event.

Is LIV Golf betting legal in my state?
State-regulator approval — not just operator licensing — determines whether a book can post LIV Golf odds in your state. Availability is not uniform: a sportsbook licensed in your state may still be blocked from offering LIV lines there. Always check directly with the operator before assuming a market is open. For a full picture of where golf betting is permitted at all, see the golf betting legality by state guide.
As a baseline, 38 states plus D.C. had some form of legal sports betting by the end of 2024, but LIV coverage is narrower than that. States without any legal sports betting — including California, Texas, and Georgia — have no LIV Golf betting options whatsoever.
What bet types are available on LIV Golf?
Where markets open, expect pre-tournament outrights (a player to win the event) as the primary offering. Matchup bets and top-finish props may appear closer to event day, but LIV Golf prop depth is thinner than PGA Tour coverage. If you're used to betting first round leader wagers or top 10 and top 20 finishes on Tour events, those markets may not be available for every LIV tournament.
Dead-heat rules apply to any finishing-position bet where ties are possible — and LIV's 54-hole, no-cut format with a 48-player field can produce unusual leaderboard clusters. Review how dead-heat rules slash payouts on tied finishes before placing any top-finish wager. BetMGM remains the only major US book that does not apply dead-heat rules to finishing-position bets, which is worth noting when shopping lines for LIV markets specifically.
How do I find the best LIV Golf odds?
Because fewer books post LIV lines than PGA Tour lines, line shopping across multiple sportsbooks matters even more here. A player listed at +2500 on one book and +2800 on another is a meaningful gap on long-odds outrights, and that spread tends to be wider on smaller-coverage events like LIV. Open accounts on at least two of the three operators — BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel — before an event week so you can move quickly when lines post.
