LIV Golf New York Course:<\/strong> Trump National Golf Club (Bedminster)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LIV Golf returns to Trump National Golf Club Bedminster <\/strong>for LIV Golf New York<\/strong>, one of\u00a0the league’s marquee events and one of the final stops before the season-ending championships.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tom Fazio-designed <\/strong>course is a par-72 measuring approximately 7,580 yards<\/strong>,\u00a0combining championship length with dramatic elevation changes, rolling fairways, and\u00a0 immaculate Bentgrass greens.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bedminster rewards players who can drive the ball long and accurately, but the real challenge\u00a0comes on approach shots. Water hazards, deep bunkers, and elevated green complexes place a\u00a0premium on distance control, while the large, undulating greens can quickly turn birdie chances\u00a0into difficult two-putts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course offers several reachable par-5s, but they are balanced by a\u00a0 collection of long, demanding par-4s that require elite ball-striking from tee to green.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The layout is built to reward aggressive golf without giving away easy birdies. Players who stay\u00a0in position off the tee and capitalize on the scoring holes will have an advantage, but one loose\u00a0swing can quickly lead to trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With four rounds to separate the field, Bedminster provides a\u00a0 complete test where power, precision, and patience <\/strong>are all required to contend for the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIV Golf New York Predictions: Head to Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talor Gooch (-120) over Sergio Garcia <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This matchup comes down to consistency, and Talor Gooch has been the more reliable player throughout the 2026 LIV Golf season. While Sergio Garcia has flashed his upside with a strong\u00a0 performance at LIV Andaluc\u00eda, that result came at one of his favorite courses in the world.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of that event, his form has been much more uneven, with finishes of 42nd and 29th<\/strong>,\u00a0 plus several other results outside the Top 30. (Pro Golf Weekly)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gooch hasn’t necessarily contended for every title, but he’s consistently put himself in position  for solid finishes. He has seven Top-25 finishes this season<\/strong>, avoiding the volatility that has  plagued Garcia for much of the year. That steady level of play is exactly what you want in a  head-to-head matchup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course history also leans toward Gooch. Although it was a couple of years ago, he finished  comfortably ahead of Garcia at this venue, and the layout has historically suited his game. With  Gooch arriving in steadier form and Garcia’s best result coming on a course that uniquely fits his  eye, this is a favorable spot to back the more consistent golfer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gooch has been the steadier performer all season, and with Garcia’s recent highs looking more  like exceptions than the norm, Talor Gooch over Sergio Garcia <\/strong>is the play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
