After six tournaments encompassing the UK, USA and Thailand, the regular events in the inaugural LIV Golf season draw to a close at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Recent fields have become far more settled as the Series has found its rhythm. The previous tournament in Bangkok saw just one change with Japanese player Hideto Tanihara replacing Spaniard David Puig, and Tanihara retains his place in an unchanged field.

That includes Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra, who won the LIV Golf Invitational Bangkok and, in doing so, helped his team, Fireballs GC, win its first team event at Stonehill. The field also includes Dustin Johnson, who will be looking to add to the huge amount of money he’s already won with another successful tournament.
Also appearing are former World No.1s Brooks Koepka, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer in a field that includes 12 Major champions including Cameron Smith and Phil Mickelson. Smith made an almost immediate impact in LIV Golf by winning the individual event in the Chicago leg of the Series – only his second tournament after making his debut in Boston at the start of September.
However, for six-time Major winner Mickelson, his maiden LIV Golf season has been more of a struggle. Mickelson’s eighth-place finish in Chicago represents his best performance so far, while he finished 17th in last week’s tournament in Bangkok. He’ll be keen to end the regular season on a high this week.
Once again, the purse is $25m, with $4m going to the winner of the individual event and $3m shared among members of the winning team. After that, attention turns to the Blue Monster course at Florida’s Trump National Doral for the final event of the season featuring a knockout team championship format and a purse of $50m.
