LIV Golf Mayakoba: Preview, betting tips & how to watch

LIV Golf’s 2023 season gets underway this week in Mexico, here’s all the details you need to know.

The Saudi-backed golf league is about to start its second year, and they’ve announced some new players before getting underway. Mito Periera, Thomas Pieters and Danny Lee are among some of the new faces on the tour, and you’ll see them in action this week.

Last year, this course played host to the Worldwide Technology Championship at Mayakoba on the PGA Tour, so it’s pretty significant that it’s now hosting the rival league. A not-so-small reason for that might be the course designer, who just happens to be LIV’s CEO, Greg Norman.

The event will be a home game for two of the players this week, with Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz both teeing it up.

As ever, 12 teams of four will compete over 54 holes, with a shotgun start the format in place.

Here’s all the details ahead of the golf getting underway.
