Bubba Watson officially signs with LIV Golf; won't play until 2023

Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson was introduced Friday as the latest signee with LIV Golf.

Watson, who hasn’t played since May as he recovers from surgery on his right knee, is not expected to play in the LIV Golf League until 2023. But he will serve as a non-playing captain at the next tournament, which is scheduled for Sept. 2-4 outside Boston.

Watson, who turns 44 in November, hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since 2018. He has fallen to No. 86 in the world, finishing in the top 10 just once this year in nine worldwide starts (a runner-up at the Saudi International).
