LIV Golf is back in action for the second consecutive week, following Joaquin Niemann’s victory last week in Mexico City. That win gave Niemann LIV Golf’s exemption into the U.S. Open as the person who sits atop the season’s individual standings.
This week the league is in Korea for the first time, making it the 10th different country to host a LIV Golf event. The field at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club is playing for the customary $20 million with the winner taking home $4 million for the victory.
Jack Nicklaus Golf Club also hosted the 2015 Presidents Cup. Ten players who competed in those matches are in the field this week—Branden Grace, Anirban Lahiri, Danny Lee, Marc Leishman, Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel for the International team and Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed and Bubba Watson on the American side. Seven players in the field this week have won a professional tournament in Korea.
Niemann has won three times this year already. Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia are Nos. 2 and 3 respectively in the individual standings. On the team side, Rahm’s Legion XIII won last week in Mexico City and is atop the team standings. Garcia’s Fireballs are second and Cam Smith’s Ripper team is third.
After this event the league takes a full month off before returning to Washington, D.C. The PGA Championship is in two weeks at Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will make this week in Korea. Check back here Sunday after play is complete for updates.
