The second 2023 LIV Golf event of the season is set to take place later this week at The Gallery Club. Heading to Tucson, Arizona, LIV Golf will feature the same 48 players and 12 teams that were on display at LIV Golf Mayakoba towards the end of February. Play gets underway on Friday, March 17. 

According to the latest 2023 LIV Golf Tucson odds, Cameron Smith is the 9-1 favorite, followed by Dustin Johnson (10-1), Joaquin Niemann (11-1), Paul Casey (14-1) and Abraham Ancer (14-1). Before locking in your 2023 LIV Golf Tuscon picks, be sure to see the predictions and best bets from golf insider Patrick McDonald.

After spending time at FanSided and NBC Sports EDGE, McDonald joined CBS Sports as a golf writer in the spring of 2022. Now covering the sport from a broader perspective, McDonald still likes to dip his toes into the betting pools on a weekly basis on the PGA Tour. 

He takes a measured approach to his outright selections and was up nearly 75 units in 2022 having hit Smith (+2200) at the Tournament of Champions, Hudson Swafford (+25000) at the American Express, Niemann (+7000) at the Genesis Invitational and Justin Thomas (+6600) live at the PGA Championship.

Now, McDonald has studied the 2023 LIV Golf Tucson field and locked in his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid.

We can tell you that McDonald is high on Thomas Pieters, who's listed as a 28-1 longshot. "In his nine prior starts, Pieters has four top-10 finishes on the DP World Tour including a runner up at the BMW International Open and more recently a T-6 effort at the Dubai Desert Classic," McDonald told SportsLine. "A winner in Abu Dhabi a year ago, Pieters has often played some of his best golf in the desert. Long off-the-tee, if Pieters can keep the ball in the short stuff, the rest of his game should allow him to contend for his first LIV title."

McDonald also has broken down the 2023 LIV Golf Tucson event from every angle and reveals why he's high on a massive longshot that's listed higher than 80-1 at The Gallery Club. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any picks of your own.
