Let's do a little guesswork, shall we?
1) Scottie Scheffler. Highly doubtful.
2) Rory McIlroy. Um...no.
3) Cam Smith. Already gone.
4) Patrick Cantlay. Possible, but unlikely.
5) Xander Schauffele. Story goes that he has already been offered an insane amount of money and turned it down, so a definite no.
6) Jon Rahm. Given some of his comments at the last event, I think this is one of the more likely choices.
7) Justin Thomas. Heck no. He and Rory have been a couple of the most vocal opponents of the LIV tour.
8) Will Zalatoris. Highly unlikely.
9) Collin Morikawa. Like McIlroy and Thomas, he has spoken out against the new tour, so unlikely.
10) Viktor Hovland. Certainly possible.
Of the list, in my opinion, the two most likely candidates are Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland. If I had to pick one and put money on it, I'd say that it's going to be Jon Rahm, but I've been wrong before.
