LIV Golf will make an astounding attempt to host their own majors if stars of the rebel series are banned from the sport's four most prestigious events.
The chief executive of Saudi Golf Federation, Majed Al Sorour, has made the audacious claim with the future participation of LIV rebels in majors hanging in the balance. Al Sorour and Public Investment Fund (PIF) kingpin Yasir Al-Rumayyan have been the instigators behind golf's push into Saudi and have led the breakaway LIV series that has divided the sport.
LIV, fronted by CEO Greg Norman, has utilised its Saudi riches to bring chaos to male golf's eco system, poaching several big name stars from the PGA and DP World Tours. But the invitational series, comprising of 54-hole, 48-man events, has yet to legitimise its status as a serious rival tour after being blocked in its pursuit of ranking points by the Official World Golf Rankings board.
