To blur the lines between sports and entertainment, LIV Golf publically extended an invitation to NFL sensation Saquon Barkley to participate in their Miami Pro-Am this April. The Saudi-based league made the offer on X after the running back replied to a post from Bryson DeChambeau.
Bryson DeChambeau took to X to ask the Philadelphia Eagles star if he'd like to be a part of the LIV Golf sensation's popular Break 50 series on YouTube. Saquon Barkley replied:
"Just say the word!! I’m kinda rusty..was a little busy."
LIV Golf saw the post as a perfect opportunity to extend the Super Bowl champion Saquon Barkley an invite to play the 2025 LIV Golf Miami Pro-Am at the Trump National Doral golf course in April.
"We’ve got a spot for you in the LIV Miami Pro-AM in April," the post read.
Here's a look at the interaction between Saquon Barkley and LIV Golf.
Securing Saquon Barkley's participation in the event would bolster LIV Golf's exposure to wider audiences. Golf and football enthusiasts alike are eager to see if the Philadelphia Eagle's running back debuts in the league.
