LOS ANGELES — The trend of LIV Golf players contending at majors continued this week at the 2023 U.S. Open.
Fifteen players who took their talents to the upstart circuit led by Greg Norman and financially backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund were in the 156-player field, and 10 made the weekend cut. Cam Smith and Dustin Johnson were both within striking distance of the leaders on the weekend, and both earned top-10 finishes.
Earlier this year three LIV players finished in the top six at the Masters, and of the 16 players who competed at the 2023 PGA Championship, 11 made the weekend cut.
Check out how each of the LIV Golf League players fared this week at the 2023 U.S. Open.
