After four events overseas, LIV Golf has finally reached its first event in the U.S. The league is in its fourth year and this week’s event is at Trump National Doral in Miami.
The same cast of characters are in South Florida playing for the customary $20 million purse, with the winner taking home $4 million.
The week started off by making plenty of headlines for different reasons. Phil Mickelson was in vintage Masters storytelling mode earlier in the week, Brooks Koepka said he thinks his tour should be much further along than it is now, and new CEO, Scott O’Neil admitted that this is a big week for LIV Golf after having been in his role for just three months.
Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs team tops the team points list and is looking a fourth consecutive team title. Joaquin Niemann is No. 1 in the individual points list after winning in Singapore for his second title of the year.
Next week, of course, is the Masters, where 12 LIV Golf members will play. Seven of them—Mickelson, Garcia, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed and Charl Schwartzel—are Masters champions.
But first, it’s a big week in Miami, where the league is looking to make a mark by playing in the U.S. for the first time this year.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will earn this week. Check back here Sunday after play is over for updates.
