LIV Golf last week announced an eight-event invitational series that begins in June with a tournament in London. On Thursday, invitations were sent to potential players for that opening event.
The invitation was sent to numerous PGA Tour players with a link to register “for the opportunity to be considered.” Applicants will be confirmed based on qualification criteria, and formal invitations will be sent in May.
The 54-hole event will feature 48 players on 12 four-man teams and a $20 million individual purse. Criteria will be based on leading players in earnings or points from the Asian Tour (three), DP World Tour (three) and PGA Tour (three) followed by the top two players from the PGA Tour Australasia, Sunshine Tour and Japan Golf Tour (six), the leading three players from the Asian Tour’s international series and top 22 players from the world ranking.
