It’s a year on from the first Champions dinner after the first wave of players left the PGA Tour to join LIV. This year sees defending Champion Jon Rahm being reunited with PGA Tour players after defecting to LIV earlier this year, and while the build up to this year’s tournament doesn’t have the anticipation and build up to the clash of both tours as last year, I am sure the LIV players and especially defending champion Jon Rahm will be looking to strike a blow for the Saudi-backed rebel tour.
All four Major Championships are now set to have an underlying battle for supremacy between the two tours for who has the best players, with the LIV tour having no world ranking points because of their 54-hole, no cut format, they will be looking at these events to try and showcase their tour, which gets little to no publicity.
