BEDMINSTER, N.J. — LIV Golf now has a sixth Masters champion on its roster of talent.
After reports broke Wednesday night, the upstart series led by Greg Norman and backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund announced Bubba Watson as its newest player on Friday during its first-round stream of the LIV Golf Invitational Series at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.
Watson has missed significant time this season with a torn meniscus, and hasn’t earned a win since the 2018 Travelers Championship. The 43-year-old has since fallen to No. 86 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Watson won’t play this year due to his injury and wants “to be 100%” before he joins the league in 2023.
