Fans will see several new faces in the third season of LIV Golf. The Saudi Arabian-PIF-backed circuit is all set to start its 2024 season this week with the Mayakoba event.
The new season is likely to come with more surprises and an increased field size. This year, 13 teams will compete on the circuit with four players each.
