LIV Golf makes its long-awaited U.S. debut, on a long, long course.
The series returns to the links this weekend, with an ever-expanding field taking hacks in the great Pacific Northwest starting Thursday.
Not only is LIV back, but Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and others are making their first U.S. appearance for the upstart Saudi-backed golf league. While Mickelson and Johnson played in the inaugural event outside London, DeChambeau is taking on his first LIV event at a course that might be suited for his skillset.
This week's course is no shorty: The total distance sits at 7,641 yards and features three par-5 holes, perfect for DeChambeau's bombs-away mindset.
