LIV Golf, the innovative golf league, is set to make its groundbreaking debut in Tennessee at the prestigious The Grove golf course in College Grove. This marks a significant moment as Tennessee becomes the 12th state to host a LIV Golf tournament, attracting top golf talent from around the world.

With three rounds comprising 54 holes of stroke play, the competition at The Grove promises to be intense. The field of 54 players will include 13 teams of four players each, along with two wild cards, vying for a remarkable purse of $25 million USD.

After his impressive victory at the US Open, Bryson DeChambeau‘s Crushers GC currently leads the team standings, while Torque GC‘s Joaquin Niemann holds the top spot in the individual points race as the season progresses towards the Team Championship in Dallas.

Notable absences from previous tournaments, such as Legion XIII Captain Jon Rahm, are expected to return to action, adding to the competition’s excitement. Additionally, six LIV Golf players who have secured spots in the men’s golf event at the Paris Olympics will be showcasing their skills at The Grove.

The Grove, designed by LIV Golf’s CEO Greg Norman, has garnered accolades for its challenging layout and pristine conditions. The course features Zorro Zoysia grass on tees and fairways, with TifEagle Bermuda on the greens, ensuring a top-notch playing experience for the competitors.

The broadcast coverage of the event will be extensive, with The CW Network airing the tournament in all U.S. markets. International audiences can catch the action on platforms like LIV Golf Plus, YouTube, and various broadcast partners across over 160 territories worldwide.
