LIV has signed a TV deal with The CW network in the United States. The first round of action will be available to watch on The CW App via smart TVs and mobile devices, and a login or subscription is required to watch. Rounds two and three will be available on The CW and on the app.

LIV Golf is the breakaway league led by the two-time Open champion Greg Norman He is supported as CEO and by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

PIF has invested unprecedented amounts in sports, both for players to sign up and for wallets for each event, and has received condemnation from human rights charities such as Amnesty International.

It brings a new look to golf, with new competition rules and format, team direction emerging as its unique selling point.

There will be 12 teams and 48 players on each course, and the tournament will be played over 54 holes and three days instead of the traditional 72 holes and four days. No interruptions unlike the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, LIV Golf also added the shotgun start, which they say encourages faster play with groups starting from different holes and playing in different order across the course.

LIV Golf returns for its second season as the action kicks off at El Camaleon Golf Course in Mayakoba, Mexico.

The rebel tour created a stir last year when it arguably left the PGA in golf’s civil war, with Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, and Lee Westwood returning to LIV for the 2023 season.

Names like Thomas Pieters, Mito Pereira and Sebastian Munoz have been added to the second season of the Saudi-backed franchise after former world number 1 Johnson brought home more than $35 million in his first season and won individual and team titles.

When LIV Golf returns, there are new teams and new names this time around, but the series will be just as controversial as last time. You can follow live scores and updates from the opening event on our live blog.
