The upstart Saudi Golf League, LIV Golf, has already managed to poach some big names from the PGA Tour, and will be hoping for a successful debut event this week. There are eight total events planned for the Saudi-backed “super-league” with stops all across the globe. We have all the information for the debut tournament including how to watch the LIV Golf tournament, what players are participating, teams, rules, and much more.

How to watch the LIV Golf tournament?

The first event is set to get underway on Thursday, June 9, and run through Saturday, June 11, from the Centurion Club in London. The only way to watch the LIV Golf Tournament will be online. The tournament can be live streamed via LIVGolf.com, Facebook, and YouTube. Coverage of the tournament will begin at 9:00 a.m. EST on Thursday.

LIV Golf Rules

LIV Golf gets its name from the Roman numeral for 54. Instead of following the PGA's four-day tournament system, the Saudi Super Golf League plans to play a three-day tournament that spans 54 holes. Within the 54-hole competition, there is also a team element of the tournament. 12 teams were drafted on Tuesday by captains.

The total individual pot for the tournament is $20 million, with the winner due to pocket as much as $4 million. Additionally, the winning team will collect $3 million.

There will be 48 players in the field for the LIV Golf Tournament in London, with the biggest names of the bunch being Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen, Kevin Na, Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood, and Taylor Gooch, among others.

There are 12 teams, each captained by an individual golfer.

The entire golf world will be looking to tune into the first event of the upstart Saudi Super League, during which some marquee names will be on the course. Greg Norman and Co. will be hopeful of a successful launch, though the PGA will likely be eager to see LIV Golf get off to a slow start.
