The LIV golf tour is a professional circuit financed by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. The name "LIV" pays homage to the Roman numeral for 54, or what would be the score if every hole on a par-72 course were birdied. This is also coincidentally the number of holes played during LIV events.
The first LIV Golf Invitational Series event started on 9 June 2022. The LIV tour will visit some of the most prestigious golf courses in the world, including Pebble Beach Golf Links, Royal Liverpool Golf Club, and TPC Sawgrass. Pros such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Rory McIlroy are expected to compete in LIV events but remains to be confirmed.
