Ripper GC finished 10th as a team in Mexico City — their worst result of the season — but still leads the team standings by a narrow margin over the 4Aces. Marc Leishman, who finished T10 in Mexico City, lives in Virginia, making this his second “home” event of the season. Ripper still needs more from their captain, Cameron Smith, but the talent is clearly there for Ripper to bounce back this week.
8. OKGC
OKGC makes its debut under the new name this week. It is a significant week for Captain Talor Gooch, who is leading efforts to establish his home state of Oklahoma as the team’s home market. Harold Varner III won the 2023 LIV Golf DC individual title at this course, when both he and Gooch were still with RangeGoats GC.
9. RangeGoats GC
Matthew Wolff has been a player to watch this season after showing real signs of a resurgence, including back-to-back top-10 finishes in Hong Kong and Singapore and a T5 in Mexico City. After a hot start to the season, Peter Uihlein’s form has fallen off precipitously, but the long course should suit him well. The RangeGoats will need a strong week from Captain Bubba Watson if they want to make the podium this week.
10. HyFlyers GC
Scott Vincent’s performance was one of the biggest stories in Mexico City, finishing fourth in his best result as a LIV Golf player. The HyFlyers enter the week with genuine momentum after Vincent’s strong week lifted the team. With Captain Phil Mickelson still out, Brendan Steele has provided some steady play for the team. They are still a team with more questions than answers collectively, but Vincent’s form makes them worth watching.
11. Cleeks Golf Club
Victor Perez fired a first-round 62 in Mexico City to briefly lead the tournament before fading over the final three rounds. The opening round was an encouraging sign that the Frenchman is in form on a course that rewards precision. The Cleeks need more from Captain Martin Kaymer and Adrian Meronk to climb the team standings. Richard Bland has been solid but the team lacks the firepower of the top half of the field.
12. Majesticks Golf Club
The Majesticks have struggled to string anything together as a team in 2026. Lee Westwood has had moments of individual form but hasn’t been able to sustain it. Ian Poulter, who’s using new McLaren golf clubs this week, will need to step up before the back half of the season grows dire.
13. Korean Golf Club
Korean Golf Club has been disappointing in 2026, sitting at the bottom of the standings after six events. That said, there is at least one encouraging data point heading into Virginia: Captain Byeong Hun An gained 1.23 strokes per round off the tee in Mexico City, a sign that his ball-striking may be rounding into form. If An can translate that tee-to-green improvement into lower scores, he gives Korean Golf Club a reason for optimism. Danny Lee and Minkyu Kim have both struggled to contribute consistently.
