Dustin Johnson, and Sergio Garcia are the most notable names among 42 players released by LIV Golf to compete in the Saudi-backed league for the first event scheduled at the tournament, June 11–13, at the Centurion Club outside of London. However, the event reportedly conflicts with PGA guidelines.
Announced in March by LIV CEO and commissioner Greg Norman, the first eight-tournament LIV schedule includes a total prize money of $255 million—with a $25 million total purse for the first tournament.
