LIV Golf’s second day of roster reveals featured three new teams, with two teams returning all four players from last year’s team championship.
Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC remain unchanged with Abraham Ancer, Carlos Ortiz and Eugenio Chacarra filling out the roster. Same with Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC, featuring Paul Casey, Charles Howell III and Anirban Lahiri.
Bernd Weisberger, formerly on Phil Mickelson’s HyFlyers GC, replaces Laurie Canter on Martin Kaymer’s Cleeks GC, with Graeme McDowell and Richard Bland returning for season two.
Cam Smith and his newly-named Ripper GC will return Marc Leishman and Matt Jones, with Jediah Morgan replacing Wade Ormsby to break up the all-Australian side.
On Wednesday the team rosters for Joaquin Niemann’s Torque GC, Brooks Koepka’s Smash GC, the Majesticks GC and 4 Aces GC were announced. All 12 team rosters will be official on Friday with the reveal of the HyFlyers GC (Mickelson), Iron Heads GC (Kevin Na), RangeGoats GC (Bubba Watson) and Stinger GC (Louis Oosthuizen).
Broadcast plans
Earlier this week the league also announced its television plans after signing a TV deal with the CW Network last month. LIV will be available in every U.S. market in 2022 across CW affiliates, as well as stations owned and operated by Nexstar. Second- and third-round coverage on Saturday and Sunday will be broadcast from 1-6 p.m. ET for all 14 events. Opening rounds on Friday will only be available on the CW app. If fans want to watch the live action when LIV tees it up in time zones opposite the states – Australia, Singapore or Saudi Arabia, for example – live coverage will be available on the app.
The LIV Golf League will begin its 14-event second season next week at Mayakoba’s El Camaleón Golf Course on the Riviera Maya, Feb. 24-26.
