Examining the future of LIV Golf as its polarizing inaugural season comes to a close

MIAMI -- During Wednesday's pairings selection at the LIV Golf Team Championship, held inside the Ivanka Trump ballroom at Trump National Doral Golf Club, eight team captains sat in front of a group of reporters, while a moderator announced the matchups, in which the higher-seeded teams were allowed to pick their opponents.

After four-time major champion Brooks Koepka announced that his Smash GC team would be playing Niblicks GC, the 12th seed, two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson, a non-playing captain for the Niblicks, was asked for his thoughts on the matchup.

"I'm not worried," Watson said to Koepka, who was sitting at the other end of the dais.
