There are more questions than ever regarding LIV Golf’s future right now, but fans may have gotten at least one answer in the form of a walk-up song on Thursday.
Lucas Herbert set new LIV Golf records for lowest score, most birdies and most birdie-eagles in a tournament, winning LIV Golf UK by six shots and leading Ripper GC to the team title.
Cameron Smith, Tyrrell Hatton and Bryson DeChambeau were all stunned by Lucas Herbert’s record-shattering LIV Golf UK win. “It’s hard to say he’s not inside the top five or 10 in the world right now.”
Tyrrell Hatton is never one to talk himself up, and Royal Birkdale is no exception. The self-proclaimed doubter rates his game a five out of 10 ahead of the Open Championship, and jokes about his Sunday chances.
Jon Rahm will be eligible for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Ireland’s Adare Manor after reaching an agreement with the DP World Tour to continue playing its events outside of his LIV Golf commitments.
Australia’s Elvis Smylie is among eight LIV Golf players who have reached a deal with the DP World Tour allowing them to compete on both circuits. But the more significant name is the one missing from the list: Jon Rahm, whose absence throws his 2027 Ryder Cup eligibility into serious doubt.
MacIntyre shot three rounds of 66 at Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and the Old Course to shoot 18-under 198 at an event that was shortened to 54 holes because the entire third round was cancelled because of dangerous winds.
Just listen to Tyrrell Hatton, who told the story of the ‘messy night’ he spent partying with Jon Rahm after learning he had automatically qualified for the 2025 European Ryder Cup team.
