LIV Golf to Transition to League Concept, Feature 14 Events in 2023

The LIV Golf Invitational Series is switching things up one year ahead of schedule as it will transition to the LIV Golf League in 2023, according to Sports Illustrated's Bob Harig.

The success of LIV Golf's events thus far and the demand for 48 player spots pushed the Saudi-backed venture to move to a league concept, an LIV Golf official told Harig.

"The original idea was to begin the league this year, but due to considerable pushback in the spring and several players backing out, LIV Golf was forced to pivot to a more modest plan for 2022," Harig wrote.
