LIV for the moment — and the money.
Just a few weeks back, Dustin Johnson became the first American to win a LIV Golf event on the tour's invitational series in 2022, and he did it with style. Johnson outlasted newcomers Joaquin Niemann and Anirban Lahiri with an epic putt on a playoff hole to take home the win in Boston.
There were no more splashy additions to the LIV Golf series since the event in Boston, but there will still be splashy shots and plenty of green to go around this weekend.
