The second season of Saudi-funded LIV Golf opened with a start of par golfers at the El Camaleon golf course in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Meanwhile, newcomers delivered mixed performance, with Thomas Pieters having the highest ranking of No. The coming fight between PGA Tour and LIV Golf had taken a major step forward last year with the latter offering up to $2 billion in bonus money – much to the excitement of big-name golfers, but the dismay of PGA Tour, resulting in the suspension of those players. This led to a lawsuit and further slowed up preparations for the current season. Saturday will be the first time the 54-hole event is broadcast on linear television as part of The CW Network’s broadcast partnership.
