Former Xavier University golfer Jason Kokrak is expected to play in the upcoming LIV Golf Invitational Series event at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey on July 29-31.

When the Greg Norman-led, Saudi Arabia-funded circuit announced the field for the event earlier this week, three spots were left to be filled. Kokrak is filling one of those spots, and Henrik Stenson and Charles Howell III are filling the other two.

From @LIVGolfInv Wednesday via Twitter:

Earlier this year, Kokrak earned the first and only ace of The Masters Par-3 Contest on the 125-yard No. 4. It was the 101st hole-in-one in the competition's history, per tournament officials. No. 9 is the hole that has seen the most aces.

Kokrak earned his first PGA Tour victory in Oct. 2020 at the CJ Cup at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas.

In May 2021, Kokrak held off Jordan Spieth to win the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Kokrak was inducted into the Xavier University Athletic Hall of Fame in December of 2015. He turned pro in 2008 after graduating from XU in 2007.
