With the 2023 professional golf season now well underway, it is fair to say the sport is in a completely different spot to where it found itself 12 months ago.
One year prior, any idea of a Saudi-funded breakaway circuit seemed to be nothing more than a written off rumour, but now the LIV Golf Series is booting up to kick off its second campaign later this week. LIV has certainly made strides by luring in some of golf's biggest names, surprising many with its rapid rise in 2022.
Rockstars of the sport including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau Brooks Koepka, Ian Poulter and Cameron Smith have all made the switch, and all seem pretty happy with their decision.
