LIV Golf benefits as perfect storm blows PGA Tour off course
LIV Golf is taking advantage of a perfect storm sweeping the PGA Tour courses.
For them, the PGA Tour’s first signature event fell so short, they wondered if Saudi Arabia had redeemed it.
On Sunday, spectators looking for a typical round of golf were forced to attend the LIV season opener at Mayakoba, eventually won by Chile’s Joaquin Nieman on the fourth extra hole in the dark. To be fair, many fans have a choice about what they want to see, even though the $20 million Pebble Beach event covers the entire 72-hole course.
What would you choose? LIV’s request to have Niemann battle Spanish giants Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia or US Open winner Wyndham Clarke to stop Ludwig Aberg and Mathieu Pavon on the California coast?
