The second season of LIV Golf begins this week in Mexico when the LIV Golf Mayakoba event gets underway at the El Camaleón Golf Course in Riviera Maya near Cancun.
The El Camaleon was designed by Greg Norman so no real surprise the former PGA Tour event venue is now being used for a tour in which Norman has played such a part in establishing.
Several new signings are included in the revised 48 player line-up including Mito Pereira, Brendan Steele, Thomas Pieters, Dean Burmester and New Zealand’s Danny Lee who has only just signed in the last few days.
The Australians in the field are Cameron Smith, Marc Leishman, Matt Jones, and Jed Morgan with Wade Ormsby having lost his place in the line-up.
The event is the first of 14 scheduled for this season at this stage, this event followed in three weeks by an event in Tucson, then two weeks the Tour heads to Orlando before it arrives in Adelaide for an event starting on April 22nd.
In addition to the US$20 million individual purse a further US$5 million is allotted for the incorporated 12 x 4 man team contest.
