LIV Golf live stream: How to watch Day 1
LIV Golf makes its first stop in the US in Portland, Oregon this week.
The controversial breakaway series has added more big names to its roster, with Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed joining the likes of Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson.
Charl Schwartzel claimed an eye-watering £3.85m cheque at the inaugural event at Centurion Club earlier this month and the lure of the Saudi-backed rebel series’ riches is proving hard to resist for players, despite the suspensions and fines being issued by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour respectively.
A £20m prize pot will be available once again at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, where the format will continue to be a 54-hole shotgun start played across three days without a cut.
Here is everything you need to know:
When is the Portland event?
The 54-hole tournament will begin on Thursday 30 June at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, with the winning player and team decided on Saturday 2 July.
How can I watch it?
LIV Golf isn’t currently tied to a UK broadcaster, but coverage is being shown via a live stream on their official website, YouTube and Facebook pages, with the action expected to begin at around 8.15pm BST.
