Simplebet rolls out first LIV Golf micro betting markets with Hard Rock Bet

Micro-betting odds provider Simplebet has partnered with Hard Rock Bet to provide micro-betting golf markets for the LIV Golf Chicago event, set to begin on Friday, September 22. This is the first event where Simplebet is offering LIV Golf markets, with the initial rollout exclusively on Hard Rock Bet. 

Hard Rock Bet’s platform is currently available through the App Store, the Google PlayStore, online at HardRock.bet, and at retail sportsbooks. The brand also offers Simplebet’s markets for NFL, college football, MLB, NBA, and college basketball through its Play-by-Play betting.

Powered by Simplebet, sports bettors will have the ability to wager on new in-event markets for key golfers on the LIV Golf roster. LIV Golf says the partnership paves the way for "never-before-seen markets" on its events, such as betting on a specific score a player will have on a hole (Birdie or better, Par, Bogey or worse), whether a player will hit the fairway off the tee on Par 4s and Par 5s, as well as whether a player will hit the green on a par 3. 

We’re thrilled to announce that our partnership with @livgolf_league will be launching at LIV Golf Chicago through @HardRockBet!

Markets such as 'Will Brooks Koepka hit the fairway on this hole' and 'Will Cameron Smith make a birdie or better on this hole' are now available for LIV Golf bettors across the US.

“The LIV Golf Chicago event marks a massive accomplishment for the entire Simplebet team,” said Simplebet CEO Chris Bevilacqua. “We couldn’t be more excited to launch our partnership with a league as forward-thinking as LIV Golf and provide engaging opportunities for its fans to engage with the sport. Our team has spent countless hours working to create the optimal product for LIV Golf’s fans across the country and throughout the world.”

LIV Golf features a 12-team, 48-player field boasting a combined 25 major wins in pursuit of the LIV Golf League Individual Championship and Team Championship. 

The list of 13 major winners who will compete in the tournament include the 2023 PGA Championship winner and 2023 US Ryder Cup Team selection Brooks Koepka, 2022 Open Champion and 2022 LIV Golf Invitational Chicago champion Cameron Smith, World Golf Hall of Famer Phil Mickelson, 2020 US Open Champion Bryson DeChambeau, and two-time major winners Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson, and Martin Kaymer.

LIV Golf was formed in 2021 by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and is returning to Rich Harvest Farms for a second consecutive year. LIV Golf Chicago is the last regular season stop in the United States before the league travels to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, October 13-15 for this year’s regular-season finale. The season-ending 2023 LIV Golf Team Championship returns to Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, October 20th-22nd.
