When LIV Golf arrived in 2022, the upstart league knew it needed major champions amongst its ranks for credibility, and it launched with big names like Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau. Although both Koepka and DeChambeau have won majors since joining LIV, critics of LIV Golf and its format have been quick to point out those victories were built off the foundation they constructed while competing on the PGA Tour.
In order to shift the perception that the league and its format can bring out the best in players, one could argue that LIV needs a homegrown major champion.
