LIV Golf LIVE: Ranking and latest scores of Day 2

The LIV Golf London event at the Centurion Club is the first of seven ‘regular season’ events to take place in its inaugural year, with the Season Ending Team Championship closing out the year as the final event of the season.

The Tag Team Championship will see the 12 seeded teams and a four-day knockout tournament will be contested using match-wise scoring to determine the winner, with a championship match taking place on the final day.

An individual champion will also be crowned using the points accumulated over the seven “regular season” events.

LIV Golf has yet to be picked up by a major UK broadcaster.

However, the action will be streamed live for free on LIV Golf’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Reports of a new breakaway league first emerged in 2019, but accelerated last year as two-time Open champion Greg Norman became the face of the LIV Golf Series, backed by l Saudi Arabia, as Managing Director.

With the Saudi Public Investment Fund funding the series, there is a clear link to the Saudi government, whose human rights record has been criticized by groups such as Amnesty International.

But what has long been seen as a trading threat to the traditional PGA and DP World Tours and nothing more has taken shape like the LIV Golf Series, which also features new rules of competition and what tournament organizers claim to be an “exciting” new format. .

LIV Golf Series events will be held over three days and 54 holes, rather than the traditional four-day events with 72 holes. There will also be no cup, so the 48 players who start the week will play all three rounds.

There will also be individual and team competitions within the same event. The individual competition will be won by the player who shoots the lowest score over 54 holes, as usual.

The team competition, however, will consist of 12 four-man teams, with team captains selecting the teams using a “snake draft” before the opening event at the Centurion Club. Teams will also have their own unique names and logos.

In terms of scoring, the top two individual scores will count towards the team’s overall total in the first two rounds, with the top three scores being combined in the third and final round. The team with the lowest overall score at the end of the third round will be the winner.

Scott Vincent, Phachara Khongwatmai

Justin Harding, Branden Grace

Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Sam Horsfield, Laurie Canter

Others selected: Sergio Garcia (+1), Graeme McDowell (+4), Lee Westwood (+5), Ian Poulter (+5)

It came like Ian Poulterone of 17 golfers sanctioned by the PGA Tour, has declared his intention to appeal the suspension.

“It doesn’t make sense,” Poulter said. “I didn’t quit because I didn’t feel like I did anything wrong. I played all over the world for 25 years. It’s no different…it’s a power struggle and it’s just disappointing.

What a day yesterday. First came the news that the PGA Tour had banned the rebels from LIV Golf:

The PGA Tour has contacted all members of the PGA Tour to inform them that all participants of the Saudi-backed tour LIV Golf Playoffs, both in Thursday’s opening competition and in the future, are immediately suspended.

The suspensions also apply to players on other PGA Tours, including the Champions, Canada, Latinoamerica and Korn Ferry Tours.
