There isn’t a more fascinating scenario to this week’s Masters than how the players from LIV fare, because there isn’t a more polarizing topic in golf at the moment.
since the inception of LIV last year with a number of high-profile, highly ranked players signing on with the Saudi-backed tour for countless millions and thus being banned from competing on the PGA Tour.
Among the 18 LIV players competing at the Masters, six are past champions — Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Sergio Garcia and Charl Schwartzel., Abraham Ancer, Talor Gooch, Jason Kokrak, Kevin Na, Joaquin Niemann, Louis Oosthuizen, Mito Pereira, Thomas Pieters and Harold Varner III.
Strange was referring to the infrequent schedule LIV plays and the fact its events are 54 holes instead of 72. Smith has finished in the top 10 in four of his past five starts at the Masters, including a tie for third last year and a tie for second in 2020. Tiger Woods gets ready to tee off on the fourth hole during the first round of the Genesis Invitational golf tournament.“I think it’s going to be more fun knowing that they hate us,” Niemann said in an interview with Golf.com. “I think there is a big rivalry right now between the Tour and LIV.’’
“The Champions Dinner is going to be obviously something that’s talked about,” Tiger Woods said recently. “We as a whole need to honor Scottie. Scottie’s the winner. It’s his dinner. So, making sure that Scottie gets honored correctly but also realizing the nature of what has transpired and the people that have left, just where our situations are either legally, emotionally. There’s a lot there.”
