“LIV Golf’s schedule features fantastic venues and championship sites for our official league launch that will carry the sport into a new era.” Bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, LIV Golf caused a stir in the sport last year when it lured players away from the existing Tours with the promise of guaranteed, big-money paydays and a reduced schedule.
Top players such as Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia and Patrick Reed joined LIV Golf, with the U.S.-based PGA Tour suspending members who opted to join the rival circuit.
Critics say LIV Golf amounts to blatant “sportswashing” by a nation trying to improve its reputation tarnished by a history of human rights abuses. Earlier this month, LIV Golf secured the U.S. television rights deal it was seeking with the CW Network which will broadcast all 14 events of the Saudi-backed series.
