LIV Golf’s 2024 season gets underway this Friday when LIV Golf Mayakoba is played at the Greg Norman-designed El Camaleon Golf Course on the Riviera Maya in Mexico.
The event is the first of four over the next two months and the first of twelve so far confirmed on the schedule for 2024.
The addition of another team to the line-up brings the field size to a total of 54 although two have yet to be included in a team and are in the field as Wild Cards.
The most significant additions to the LIV Golf line-up for this week’s Mayakoba tournament are Spain’s Jon Rahm, England’s Tyrell Hatton, Australian Lucas Herbert and Poland’s Adrian Meronk.
Rahm and Hatton form part of the newly formed Legion X111 team captained by Rahm while Herbert replaces Jed Morgan in the Australian combination of Cameron Smith, Marcus Leishman and Matt Jones, while 2022 Australian Open Champion Meronk is added to Martin Kaymer’s line-up.
The announcement today of the newly formed PGA Tour Enterprises partnership does not clarify the extent of LIv Golf’s role but the door appears to have been left open for future investment by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.
