The big-hitting American has become the latest star name to defect to LIV Golf but the opening event in the rebel series has been a low-key affair
Day two of the golfing revolution and the headlines kept coming. Bryson DeChambeau, the biggest hitter in the sport, was confirmed as the latest star signing to LIV golf.
DeChambeau is expected to join the eight event tour at its second stage, the Portland Invitational at Pumpkin Ridge at the end of this month. In house commentator Jerry Foltz was suitably excited and posed the question he hoped everyone would be asking: “If he is not the captain of Smash then what are we even doing?”
“It’s still just golf isn’t it”, said Connor McGuigan, one of the younger cohort of fans in attendance on Friday. He had got a free ticket from a promotional code on a podcast, and was enjoying himself. But it was the experience more than the sport that struck him as novel. “The teams don’t matter”, he said, “and the golf has the feel of a kick about. Loads of people are here to have fun and aren’t really watching the golf.
