The organization led by curator Greg Norman will offer grants totaling $25 million for the occasion, including 20% devoted to the team format of the event. Moreover, the draw for the establishment of the 12 teams will take place on Tuesday, but it is already certain that well-known players will be present in the American West. Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia and Louis Oosthuizen, among others, will be among the 48 competitors who will challenge the greens on TVA Sports 2, starting at 5 p.m.
Competitors who missed the original meeting in London earlier in June – won by Charl Schwartzel – and have since joined the circuit will also be in action on the Pumpkin Ridge club course, including Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed.
The 54-hole tournament will end on Saturday. Schwartzel pocketed $4.75 million for his June 11 triumph, finishing with a one-shot priority with a -7 score. His team, the Stinger GC, also won the tag team event. Johnson and Mickelson finished eighth and 34th respectively among the 48 players in the running.
-The TVA Sports channel will be the French-speaking broadcaster of the LIV circuit tournaments in Quebec. The animation will be provided by Max Lalonde, while Steve Foisy, professional at the Rosemère club, will act as analyst.
