Everything you need to know about LIV Golf UK as the league returns to after a long break…
The tenth event of the season will be staged in its tenth different country as the embattled league heads to JCB Golf & Country Club in England for LIV Golf UK.
Fourteen LIV players will be coming from The Open at Royal Birkdale – where Ryan Fox lifted the Claret Jug in epic fashion – including Lucas Herbert, who equaled the major championship scoring record with a 62 before going on to finish tied-6th.
Bryson DeChambeau was also heavily involved at the 154th edition of golf’s oldest major after becoming embroiled in a rules drama following the second round.
But they will be back in familiar surroundings this week, so let’s take a look at everything you need to know about the action from the heart of the UK.
(By the way – if you want to go, you can get tickets here.)
