LIV Golf leaderboard

Well, the LIV Golf Invitational Series is off and running. Centurion Golf Club outside London is hosting the inaugural event, a three-day, shotgun start, ...

Here’s a look at some of them. There is no TV partner for the new circuit so LIV Golf created its own YouTube channel and streamed the action there. Well, the LIV Golf Invitational Series is off and running.

Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson are four shots off the lead after the first round of the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational.

Stinger GC, which features Schwartzel, du Plessis, team captain Louis Oosthuizen, and the now-former PGA Tour member Branden Grace, are atop the leaderboard after the first round at 9-under. The teams are competing for a $5 million purse, with the first-place group receiving $3 million. The era of free agency is beginning as we are proud to have a full field of players joining us in London, and beyond." With the event's shotgun format, where all players start at the same time on different holes, there were few lulls in the broadcast action with rapid-fire cuts from shot-to-shot. You have made a different choice, which is to abide by the Tournament Regulations you agreed to when you accomplished the dream of earning a PGA TOUR card and - more importantly - to compete as part of the preeminent organization in the world of professional golf. "Today's announcement by the PGA Tour is vindictive and it deepens the divide between the Tour and its members," LIV Golf said.

LIV Golf is announcing itself to the world with actual action today in London and ...

Augusta has the ball in its court and will make its own decisions as to LIV participants' eligibility. Mickelson and everyone else knows that this battle will rage on through back-and-forth messaging and bringing the Masters to LIV even subconsciously is part of the battle. This is either a meaningless accident or a carefully curated message.

He hasn’t been fantastic on the greens today and leaves himself a 15 footer for birdie on the eighth. Dustin Johnson is over the back of the green in two on the par-4 10th. DJ moves back to level par for the round. He’s battling hard though and pulled this beauty out of the bag: Louis Oosthuizen is letting the Stingers GC down here and he’s the captain! Of the $25m, $5m will be split between the top three teams.

Years of hassle, back-and-forth sniping and "will they/won't they" debate came to a head Thursday when the LIV Golf Invitational Series finally teed off at.

The PGA Tour announced suspensions for the 17 current and former members who played in London, less than an hour into the round. With Dustin Johnson headlining the London Invitational and Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed set to join the group at the second event, we know there will be no shortage of high-wattage stars. Jerry Foltz said nothing so far had “made anybody regret the decision they made to be a part of this.” OK then. When Talor Gooch landed his opening tee shot on a par 3 to about 12 feet, the analysts gushed over how close he came to a hole-in-one. The 51-year-old could have fared much worse given the long layoff and the massive number of eyes on his return. But he rebounded on the back nine with birdies at the par-4 12th and the par-5 13th and 15th holes.

In amongst the politics and off-course drama, a golf tournament broke out at Centurion Club.

But as the intervention of Jamal Khashoggi’s fiancee illustrates, the controversy is about more than just rich players wanting to become even richer and a perceived lack of loyalty to their respective tours. It's not hard to see why the Europ...sorry, DP World Tour is annoyed at the rebel tour but in changing it's name the European Tour has been accused of helping a form of sportswashing of its own - DP World being a huge company from the UAE, another country accused of having a less than exemplary human-rights record. But until we see what actually unfolds in Hertfordshire and beyond it's also clear that, for now at least, the only thing it's supercharging is the bank accounts of those golfers who've seen an extra nought and jumped ship from the PGA and DP World Tours. The events of the past few months have been mired in controversy. Meanwhile, playing partner DJ has to settle for a bogey and he drops a shot to join his fellow American at one-over for the round. The shotgun start does make it very tough to live blog - everyone hitting at the same time. Playing partner Mickelson then hits his into the deep rough on the other side of the fairway - there's at least 100 yards between those two balls. The Zimbabwean is playing with Mickelson and Dustin Johnson and he's more than holding his own. The commentators are trying hard to make what has been a fairly slow, nondescript round into some memorable, great, seminal, bundle of excitement and it's sort of grating. I have just Googled the South African so you don't have to - thank me later... The total prize pot for each of LIV Golf’s eight invitationals this year is $25 million, of which $5 million will go to teams and $20 million to the individual players. The shotgun start meant all 48 players started and finished at the same time.

For all the talk of the LIV Golf Series luring away the world's biggest stars, only two of the so-called big names managed to finish in the red after the ...

'I come to work to play golf and that's my job at the end of the day. I've also seen the good golf has done throughout history, and I believe LIV Golf is going to do a lot of good for the game.' The vastly unpopular LIV Golf Invitational Series begins today at Centurion Club in St Albans. Some of the great names in golf are there, taking the cash on offer from the Saudi-backed organisers turning away from their respective tours. The £20m prizefund for this week sees around £3.2m go to the winner and £96,000 to whoever finishes last. We’ve been given releases by the PGA Tour to play there and the European Tour have held events there. There are 48 players in the field, and it's a 54-hole event. Like it or not, it is here and it is here to stay... Rolls a putt right down the middle of the hole from 20 feet and he moves back to even par. Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates. I am proud, I am proud for the game of golf.' Awful, awful tee shot on the seventh, dragging his shot right, into the trees and out of bounds. He still has 14 holes left to play - as do the rest of the field, obviously.

"I struck the ball really well and didn't putt very well. I really struggled with the putter the front, the first six, seven holes but I played really well and fought back after a double on nine to shoot one under and get myself right in it on the first day." "It was fun for me to get back out playing.

But the bigger problem, the one that will be hardest to fix, is also the simplest: After six months of promising innovation, LIV Golf’s first broadcast was decidedly normal. In many ways, Thursday served as a tryout for LIV Golf’s broadcast team, which is headed by Steve Beim, former U.S. Open and “The Match” producer. Instead, the first LIV Golf Invitational series round was blasted out to the world on YouTube, Facebook and the LIV Golf website … for free. On Thursday, LIV went live for the first time, presenting its vision for golf’s future in a neon-tinted shade of lime green. He had just accepted a new role as a broadcast consultant for his good friend Greg Norman at LIV Golf, and it was his job to bring golf broadcasting into the 21st century. “The LIV Golf broadcast will be unlike anything fans have seen before,” Will Staeger, LIV’s chief media officer, said in a release announcing the new product.
