However, as the year progressed, many PGA Superstars like Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Cameron Smith, and Bryson DeChambeau switched sides and allied with the LIV Golf.

The Saudi-backed league had no shortage of finances so it was obvious that several professionals would be attracted to it.

The inaugural season saw 8 single events and concluded with a team event won by 4Aces consisting of Talor Gooch, Dustin Johnson, Pat Perez, and Patrick Reed.

LIV postpones the 2023 roster release till January

LIV GOLF has decided to postpone the roster release and won't be out until January.

Initially scheduled to be announced on December 21, the roster was postponed due to internal disputes. This has not happened for the first time as a lot of things are happening behind the door. Continuous disputes with the PGA Tour, the lack of ranking points, and the tussle between Greg Norman and Tiger McIlroy to name a few.

Meanwhile, LIV Golf has announced its schedule for its 2023 season where Singapore, Mexico, and Spain will be hosting several events.
