LIV Golf’s third season – and second full campaign – begins Friday at Mayakoba Resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
The season opener, the first of 14 scheduled events for the Saudi-backed league this year, comes with the debut not only of Jon Rahm’s team, Legion XIII, LIV’s 13th franchise, but three new signings. The additions this year are world No. 16 Tyrrell Hatton, No. 42 Adrian Meronk, No. 82 Lucas Herbert and No. 10 amateur Caleb Surratt, who left the University of Tennessee midway through his sophomore year.
Also new this year are the two wild-card spots per tournament, which will go to individuals not on a team. Hudson Swafford and Laurie Canter are the two wild cards for Mayakoba.
