Smith has been in great touch since his Open Championship victory and can lift his first LIV Golf Invitational Series trophy this weekend.
Joaquin Niemann

The 23-year-old's form became wayward, finishing T47 at the US Open, MC at the Travelers Championship, T16 at the Genesis Scottish Open, and T53 at the Open Championship.
However, he regained his touch, placing T13 FedEx St Jude Championship, T8 at the BMW Championship and T11 at the Tour Championship.

He has featured in all the LIV Golf Invitational tournaments, placing 9th in London, 7th in Portland, T6 in Bedminster and 6th in Boston.
Gooch has had five top ten finishes in his last seven starts and will fancy his chances to go all the way in Illinois.

Reed was impressive in his last start and can go close in Chicago.
