LIV Golf riches up for grabs in Abu Dhabi as players battle for places – 3 will succeed
- Wade Ormsby, Kieran Vincent and Hong Kong’s Taichi Kho among those who could earn spots through the LIV Golf Promotions event at Abu Dhabi Golf Club
- Those who get in could be joined by Jon Rahm, who is being linked with a switch from the PGA Tour to the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV in 2024
As rumours surrounding the future of Jon Rahm and several other high-profile PGA Tour players swirl, some of golf’s lesser-known talents are in Abu Dhabi this week battling it out to potentially join the Spaniard in the LIV League next season.
Rahm has been linked with a move to the Saudi Arabia-backed outfit in 2024, and his continued silence has only fuelled speculation that he will take the US$600m reportedly on offer to make the switch.
A report in The Telegraph in the UK has also suggested Jason Day and Adrian Meronk could join this year’s Masters winner, with a new team expected to be added to the league.
There has been plenty of movement already this off-season, with Graeme McDowell – one of those who fell into the relegation spots at the end of the season, putting his LIV career in doubt – joining Brooks Koepka’s Smash Golf Club side.
And on Wednesday, Carlos Ortiz and David Puig switched teams, even if LIV did not go so far as to call it a trade.
