Those who bolted the PGA Tour for LIV Golf won't be wearing the red, white and blue when the U.S. faces Europe, U.S. captain Zach Johnson suggests.

"I've been playing Ryder Cup golf since 1997, and the criteria has been to be a member of the European (DP World) Tour. Now, the criteria for being a member of the European Tour is to play four events. "I've been a member of the PGA Tour and still played four events on the European Tour, and why would the European Tour change their rules so dramatically because another tour doesn't like it or feels financially threatened? "There's just a bit too much protection going on for my liking and not enough transparency. "In order to play on the Ryder Cup team whether you're top 6 or a pick, you must garner Ryder Cup points through the PGA of America," Johnson said. We'll just keep our fingers crossed." "In order to garner Ryder Cup points through the PGA of America, you have to be a member of the PGA of America. The way that we're members of the PGA of America is through the PGA Tour.

At LIV Golf Portland hosted at Pumpkin Ridge, Phil Mickelson was spotted tinkering with his lob wedge and putter during practice round.

Don’t get carried away and think he pulled a 25-year-old wedge from his garage; the wedge in question is a PING Eye2 XG which Phil has used on and off dating back to around 2014. With Phil’s move to LIV Golf and his Callaway deal on pause, he had an old favorite, Ping Eye2 wedge back in the bag. The other change to Phil’s bag comes in the form of an extended-length putter and grip which hints that Lefty has gone to the armlock putting style to help cure his putting woes, which were on full display a few weeks ago at the U.S. Open.

"I've been playing Ryder Cup golf since 1997, and the criteria has been to be a member of the European Tour. Now, the criteria for being a member of the European Tour is to play four events. "So what I know is this: In order to play on the Ryder Cup team whether you're top-six or a pick, you must garner Ryder Cup points through the PGA of America," Johnson said. "I've thought about it [not being at the Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup]. Who wouldn't?" Reed said ahead of this weekend's LIV event. "I mean, why should it [Cup eligibility] be threatened?" "I got some friends that have decided to go that route," he said. A total of 17 players were suspended by the PGA Tour ahead of LIV's inaugural event in St. Albans, England, earlier this month.

Torque GC’s Jinichiro Kozuma takes a share of the lead with a three on 13. It’s been a consistent round for the Torque GC captain who is three under thru eight with no drop shots. It’s been a quietly consistent round for the big name America who is playing in his first LIV Golf event this week. The full field of 48 players has been confirmed and the format will continue to be a 54-hole shotgun start played across three days with Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Portland hosting this week’s event. Meanwhile Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas, amongst others, have spoken publicly in favour of golf’s two main tours yet the field in Portland is set to be significantly stronger than at LIV Golf’s inaugural event in England last month. Golf’s newest and most controversial tour, the LIV Golf Series, hosts its second event in Portland, Oregon this week with the action kicking off tonight.

LIV Golf begins play at Pumpkin Ridge on Thursday, kicking off its first event in North America. Here's what that means.

The misconception about LIV itself is that it will never need to make money and exists merely as a vehicle for sportswashing. It’s not yet clear what that means for the competitive juice of its tournaments, nor what it means for golf fans, who are already feeling the effects of a fractured landscape. It’s remarkable how quickly and seamlessly the who’s-who of tournament golf infrastructure have adapted to a new tournament run by a new organization. That means the breakaway league is continuing to make gains on its initial objective: player acquisition. “I want to continue playing the PGA Tour, and I don’t see why they can’t coexist,” Gooch said. Others, like Patrick Reed, sound apathetic about a future on Tour. On Tuesday, Reed announced he’d resigned his Tour membership and didn’t mince words about leadership, either, suggesting they’d failed to “listen to the players” and ultimately brought this on themselves. The only consistent thing is not to worry about any of it. Off property, reaction to the tournament is more complex. “We’ve been banded together by all the scrutiny, by what other people think, and that creates some of this camaraderie,” said Talor Gooch. “And we also believe in this. That doesn’t mean it was an easy decision to be here in the first place. But if the scene at Pumpkin Ridge proves anything, it’s this: everyone at LIV is convinced it’s here to stay. To hear them tell it, the players are thrilled to be here.

Perez flexed that he had been shown the money while Fred Couples put him in his place as a "grain of sand in this Tour."

For me, yeah, I’ve earned every penny of it because we have to do it all the time,” he said. I’m kind of one of those lucky guys that I think I see it the right way,” he said. All Greg Norman had to do was show him the money. He went so far as to literally wear it proudly rather than hide behind the lark of ‘growing the game,’ or so many of the other sham justifications. Perez , to his credit, has managed to keep his card all these years despite just three PGA Tour wins, sometimes just squeaking inside the top 125. However, Perez in his money shirt would make a fitting personal logo or better yet a perfect representation for all of LIV Golf.

Brett Eagleson and 10 other members of 9/11 Justice are in Oregon and have asked to meet with Phil Mickelson and other members of the LIV Golf tour.

“I would invite Phil Mickelson and everyone else here to have a meeting with us,” Eagleson said. “While our local jurisdictions may not be able to prevent this event, we stand together to voice our concerns about the unwelcomed potential risks, visitors and harm this event could have on our communities.” The tournament is scheduled to end Saturday. After this weekend, LIV heads to Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey on July 29. He just wants the golfers here to talk to them. Contacted earlier this week by USA TODAY Sports, Jeff Muller, the general manager of Pumpkin Ridge, declined to answer questions about the club’s decision to host LIV Golf. Escalante, meanwhile, did not return multiple requests for comment. The Fort Worth-based golf conglomerate bought Pumpkin Ridge in 2015. An Oregonian investigation published in 2019 detailed a pattern across eight states, plus Canada, of Saudi students facing criminal charges who managed to escape before their trials. Do terrible things happen in China? Yes, but I don’t have an FBI document that says China killed my dad.” “That’s not our platform,” he said. Late last year, President Joe Biden declassified a 16-page FBI report that detailed Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the 9/11 attacks. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers involved in the Sept. 11 attacks were Saudi citizens. It’s crazy.”

As LIV Golf launched its first United States event Thursday, one American star took to social media to distance himself from the Saudi-backed league.

Zalatoris rose to No. 12 in the Official World Golf Ranking following his silver medal at Brookline and has finished T-6 or better in six of his last eight starts. I cannot wait for the rest of the PGA Tour season and the Race to Dubai. See everyone in Scotland the next two weeks.” I love where the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour and their associated tours are headed.

LIV Golf's first event on American soil was set to begin Thursday amid protests from 9/11 families, a US senator and a consortium of local mayors.

In addition to signing bonuses, the 48-man field will compete for a $20m purse, with an additional $5m prize fund for a team competition. And we want the ability to educate the golfers on what we know about the Saudi role on 9/11.” We’re trying to grow the game.” US senator Ron Wyden called the event “sportswashing” to distract from human rights abuses. Eagleson, now 36, is among those criticizing the LIV tournament and its connection to a regime that has flouted human rights. “We want the golfers to know who they’re getting in bed with, who they’re doing business with,” Eagleson said.

LIV Golf vs. the PGA Tour is turning into a rivalry like Duke vs. North Carolina or Red Sox vs. Yankees. All at odds with each other.

“The Tour wants to keep talking about strength of field … the strength of field is here. But, to Perez’s point, it does put the John Deere field to shame. Didn’t want to take a meeting, didn’t want to listen to anybody. “It’s not my decision for me if I can or can’t play, but I would love to continue to play. “Transparency is a big thing,” Kaymer said. “The Tour has tried to strong-arm us all year and come with bans and suspensions and all that,” he said. But, Perez needs to pump the brakes. The event has just six of the top 100, led by No. 58 Webb Simpson. The John Deere lost its only top 50 player, No. 25 Daniel Berger, who withdrew Monday because of back issues that have plagued him most of this year. the wild child continue to trade insults and strategically-timed announcements. So whether everybody wants to talk about it or not, that’s what it is. “And how’d that work?

Here's everything you need to know about who is playing in the second LIV Golf Invitational event.

Unlike traditional golf tournaments, LIV Golf has all its players on the course starting their rounds at different holes which is also known as a 'Shotgun start'. LIV Golf Portland will feature 48 golfers who will be broken off into 12 teams of four. Charl Schwartzel was victorious in the inaugural after going seven-under-par following three days of intense competition.

"The PGA Tour, an American institution, can't compete with a foreign monarchy that is spending billions of dollars in an attempt to buy the game of golf. The era of free agency is beginning as we are proud to have a full field of players joining us in London, and beyond." The LIV Saudi Golf League is not that. "One important message to these LIV golfers and the Kingdom is that we're not going anywhere. Every tournament you're going to have to deal with us in bigger numbers, more stories, from the families," Eagleson said. . Fifteen of the 19 al Qaeda terrorists who hijacked four planes were Saudi nationals, but the Saudi government has denied any involvement in the attacks.

For golfers, part of LIV Golf's allure is the money. This marks the second LIV event. Those who play in Oregon will also be suspended unless they resign their tour memberships. But critics call the tour an attempt at "sportswashing'' to detract from Saudi Arabia's human rights abuses, including the murder of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. On Thursday, his 67 included seven birdies, including four on the front nine. Other notable scores from Day 1 action included even-par 72s from Matthew Wolff, Patrick Reed and Bryson DeChambeau in their tour debuts.

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. (AP) — The Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf tour's second event teed off Thursday, angering a group of families who lost loved ones on Sept.

The Sporting News is tracking live scoring updates and highlights from the first day of LIV Golf's Portland event.

4:46 p.m. -- Ortiz closes out the second birdie to go 2 under. Wolff is trying to replace the ball in the correct position, and it looks like everything is fine. 7:12 p.m. -- Reed takes a good approach as he seeks his first birdie of the day. 5:35 p.m. -- Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed are still sitting at Par, while Phil Mickelson is lucky enough to stay even. First it was a chip shot from the bunker that fell into the cup, then it was a solid putt. 6 p.m. -- Newcomer Brooks Koepka has positioned himself atop the leaderboard at 2 under. Louis Oosthuizen also birdies to get to 2 under, and Tanihara saves par to stay in the lead. 7:34 p.m. -- Koepka is still playing through a lot of ups and downs. 6:40 p.m. -- Sihwan Kim hits an eagle to bring his score down a more manageable one. 7:39 p.m. -- Ortiz breaks into second place alongside Johnson and company with a nice putt. 7:58 p.m. -- As the day winds down, 4 Aces, Stinger, and Torque are all tied for the lead at 6 under. Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed, and Pat Perez highlight newcomers to LIV Golf, as it continues to expand its footprint in the golf world.

It appears to be a long-term goal for LIV Golf to secure some type of broadcast partner, starting with the 2023 calendar year. South African Charl Schwartzel won the inaugural event outside London. The 2022 LIV Tour ends in Miami at the Trump National Golf Club Doral from October 27-30. Currently, LIV Golf is not on TV. It has no TV rights deals in place, and its biggest competitor, the PGA Tour, recently signed nine-year deals with CBS, NBC and ESPN+ to broadcast coverage of events through 2030. LIV Golf's most likely avenue to securing a TV rights deal in America is with Fox, which hasn't exactly shown an interest in broadcasting the sport. But how, exactly, can they tune in to watch the tour's second-ever tournament? Objectors to the tour have expressed frustrations that its biggest draws have betrayed the PGA Tour, where they originally made names for themselves.

“This is probably one of the best golf tournaments I’ll ever get a chance to go to, you know, 20 miles away from my house. Watching this version of professional golf is both relatable and “pure entertainment.” Also of note: big-time golf hasn’t been in the Northwest since 2015, when the U.S. Open was played at Chambers Bay, about an hour southwest of Seattle. Most casual golf fans don’t have the money (or the vacation time) to travel to PGA Tour stops, let alone any of the majors. (The moms got the day off and headed to the beach, kid-free.) But doesn’t everyone — organizations, corporations and politicians on both sides of the aisle — have ties to something that make you uncomfortable? LIV bills itself as “golf, but louder” and at least Thursday, that was true.

Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter are lobbying for reinstatement into the pre-Open Championship event.

"The intention of this letter is not to further divide us, but to respond to Tour statements and to pose questions that the Tour should answer and we should discuss in detail. It read: "In Mr. Pelley's latest communication, he uses the statement that every action in life comes with a consequence. As LIV Golf's second event in Portland gets underway, the ripple effects of its very existence will be felt around the globe.

The Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series is already looking to expand in 2023 with 14 events and a new name.

What is known is the number of international sites will expand. The plan for 2023 is to open the season in March with 48 contracted players. The number of events will be capped at 14.

The 14-event LIV Golf League will debut in 2023, with the same 48 players in each tournament.

The hope, it would seem, is for word to spread to other players who would fill out the 48-man fields. The idea is for the 12 teams to develop their own identity. LIV also plans to have 48 players contracted to play all 14 events next year, with permanent team captains that can recruit their own teams and make trades—a stark contrast from this inaugural season, which has and will continue to feature a rotating cast of players with more expected to sign with the Saudi-backed venture.

What matters to the golf viewer is the test provided and the tournament that follows. That matters to the players and their investment advisers, regardless of how dirty the money might be. But as they begin a round that determines who wins $4 million for coming in first and who takes $120,000 for placing last, the leaders tee off from the first hole at the same time those in seventh through ninth tee off from the second. I want to play against the best in the world in a format that’s been going on for hundreds of years. Players who win a PGA Tour event in the year since the last Masters gain entry. But start with that fact, and go back to what Jon Rahm — the Spaniard ranked second in the world who has pledged his loyalty to the PGA Tour — said before the U.S. Open. It rang true at the time. LIV Golf can’t be expected to have history in a month’s time. Each of these players has signed up to take money from a murderous regime, and that colors the entire entity. The leaders play the course as it’s meant to be played: The starting hole means something; the finishing hole means something else. But as a product that raises the hairs on the backs of necks? It’s important to constantly keep in mind the source of LIV’s extensive — indeed, almost endless — wealth and funding: the Saudi Arabian government. Let’s go to Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club outside Portland, Ore., for the latest on the upstart LIV Golf series.

Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter are among 16 LIV Golf players who have written to the DP World Tour asking it to rescind its fines and allow them to compete in ...

I wish many of them had been as keen to play on our Tour then as they seem to be now, based on the fact they have either resigned their membership of the PGA Tour or, if they are still in membership, have been suspended indefinitely. Pelley responded: "The letter claims that these players 'care deeply' for the DP World Tour. An analysis of the past participation statistics on our Tour in recent years of several of the leading players named, suggests otherwise. The U.S.-based PGA Tour, which announced a 13-year partnership with the DP World Tour this week, has suspended players for joining the breakaway circuit. Indeed, as one player named in the letter said in a media interview earlier this year; 'If they ban me, they ban me.' It is not credible that some are now surprised with the actions we have taken." "That the DP World Tour top performers will now earn PGA Tour cards serves only to solidify the DP World Tour as second fiddle to the PGA Tour and depletes the DP World Tour's top rising talent even further," the letter said. The players said in the letter that the alliance would have a negative impact on DP World Tour players.

Next year, the 'LIV Golf League' will have 12 set four-man teams with captains who can recruit their own players and make trades.

It is possible that the league could also go to places such as Mexico and Australia. But the idea is to have 12 set teams of four players each so franchises can establish identify and value. But after the first tournament at Centurion Club outside of London and this week’s tournament at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club outside of Portland, LIV Golf will unveil a 14-tournament schedule for 2023 that is expected to begin in March.

DP World Tour's chief Keith Pelley fires back at the LIV Golf players threatening legal action and stands by fine and suspension.

I wish many of them had been as keen to play on our Tour then as they seem to be now, based on the fact they have either resigned their membership of the PGA Tour or, if they are still in membership, have been suspended indefinitely. “The letter claims that these players ‘care deeply’ for the DP World Tour. An analysis of the past participation statistics on our Tour in recent years of several of the leading players named, suggests otherwise. I will simply reiterate that our Members’ Regulations which have been in force for more than 30 years, have been accepted by all the players, are there to protect all of our members, and we will use them to take all necessary steps to protect their interests. We have fantastic tournaments across the year including a host of wonderful national Opens, all played in front of huge crowds, illustrated perfectly by this week’s Horizon Irish Open,” Pelley said. Indeed, as one player named in the letter said in a media interview earlier this year, ‘If they ban me, they ban me.’ It is not credible that some are now surprised with the actions we have taken. The 16 players, including Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter, were banned from playing in next week’s Genesis Scottish Open, which is co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour (the PGA Tour indefinitely suspended members who joined the league). Fines of 100,000 pounds were handed out to each player, and they are ineligible for three upcoming tournaments.

Keith Pelley, the head of the DP World Tour, has responded with a strongly-worded assessment of LIV Golfers and their plans for legal action.

It has been inevitable that the saga of LIV Golf vs. But the World Tour stayed patient, only suspending players for those three events. Indeed, as one player named in the letter said in a media interview earlier this year; ‘If they ban me, they ban me.’ It is not credible that some are now surprised with the actions we have taken. The legal action threat was included in “an open letter” that criticizes the tour for being “grossly unfair and likely unlawful.” Pelley’s tour plays an intriguing role in the current war for professional golf. “Many of them at the time understood and accepted that.

DP World Tour CEO Keith Pelley fired back at a contingent of European players who defected to LIV Golf after they threatened legal action against Pelley and ...

I wish many of them had been as keen to play on our tour then as they seem to be now, based on the fact they have either resigned their membership of the PGA Tour or, if they are still in membership, have been suspended indefinitely.” Pelley first addressed the idea that the defectors “truly care” about the former European Tour. “An analysis of the past participation statistics on our tour in recent years of several of the leading players named, suggests otherwise,” Pelley countered. In the letter the group took umbrage with Pelley’s decision to suspend those who participated in the inaugural LIV Golf event in London and ridiculed the DP World Tour’s joint venture with the PGA Tour, saying the move made the Old World circuit a “second fiddle” to the American-based tour.

The LIV Golf Invitational Series' second event is under way at Pumpkin Ridge, with a handful of new names on board. Follow all the action here.

The top three teams are paid from the $5 million team purse. After Round 1, players will be paired by score for the remaining two rounds. His drive landed right of the fairway near a creek. The Japanese player is 43 years old and ranked 188th in the world. Here are the groups for Round 1. As for other newcomers, Pat Perez birdied his first hole, the par-3 3rd. Given that Patrick Reed didn't play in the first LIV event, it would make sense that the ratings shown mirror his PGA Tour stats. The new American team of Dustin Johnson, Talor Gooch, Pat Perez and Patrick Reed is also 6 under. The top two scores count in Round 1. Brooks Koepka, Abraham Ancer and Matthew Wolff, all LIV Golf newcomers, are paired together. The Mexican had seven birdies and two bogeys. We'll have live updates throughout the day.

The Saudi-backed series has grown faster than expected with eight of the top 50 players, and 20 of the top 100, in the current World Golf Rankings.

What is known is the number of international sites will expand. The plan for 2023 is to open the season in March with 48 contracted players. The number of events will be capped at 14.
