Starting with its second season, LIV Golf has rebranded itself as the LIV Golf League and is now focusing on the team aspect of competition. The league’s 14-event schedule will begin at the Mayakoba Resort in Mexico.
The league has a new TV deal with The CW Network and has also partnered with EasyPost, its first global partner. Several teams have new logos, and two teams, Bubba Watson’s Range Goats and Cam Smith’s Ripper have new names. The league has also added new players, including Thomas Pieters, who is currently ranked No. 36 in the latest Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).
The prize money payouts for the league remain high, with a $20 million overall purse for the individual competition at El Camaleon Golf Club. Each player is guaranteed to take home at least a six-figure check, with the 48th-place finisher in Mexico making $120,000, which is slightly more than the equivalent of finishing 18th at this week’s Honda Classic on the PGA Tour.
There is also a team competition with $5 million up for grabs, with the winning four-man team splitting $3 million and the second-place team splitting $1.5 million among their foursome.
