LIV dumps Trump as rebel golf league goes head-to-head with PGA Tour in big switch
Golf courses owned by former US President Donald Trump have been left off a preliminary 14-event LIV Golf schedule for 2024, Sports Illustrated reported on Tuesday.
US stars Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed are among those who jumped from the PGA to the upstart series over record $25 million event purses. The PGA Tour banned LIV players from events but stars of the tours have battled at major tournaments since. As a result, the PGA and LIV are making separate plans for 2024 campaigns and LIV appears set to book its events opposite bigger PGA events than in past seasons.
US events would include Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Dallas and Oklahoma City plus West Virginia and Florida.LIV would stage more events around major tournaments, according to the preliminary programme, with the Los Angeles event opposite the Memorial hosted by legend Jack Nicklaus next June the week before the US Open at Pinehurst.
