Eight teams will be in action on Friday, with four teams on a bye until Saturday's semifinals.
MIAMI – After 13 events spread from Mexico to Saudi Arabia, the final event of the 2023 LIV Golf League season is here.
What sets the LIV Golf Team Championship, held once again at Trump National Doral, apart from the other big-money, no-cut events on the upstart circuit's schedule is its unique format. Throughout the year, teams earn points for their finishes at each regular-season event. At the $50 million finale, teams are seeded based on their points earned over the season and then compete in both stroke and match play over three days.
The captains play the captains in a singles match, leaving three players to be split between another singles match and a foursomes match. No ties. The first team to two points wins and advances to Saturday. Simple enough? .Cam Smith and Ripper GC selecting Martin Kaymer's Cleeks GC was a rather dull exchange, leaving Brooks Koepka and Smash GC to square off against Phil Mickelson and his HyFlyers GC.
"I didn’t really get much option in this," said Koepka to a room full of laughter."Yeah, so we’re playing, or I’m stuck with Phil, and the rest of the guys are playing with the other guys. It will be a good matchup." Mickelson was complimentary of Koepka's year as the PGA champion and a two-time winner with LIV before adding,"There’s a lot of other guys I would rather be playing against. So I’ve got my work cut out for me."Singles:Abraham Ancer/Carlos Ortiz vs. Ian Poulter/Lee WestwoodJason Kokrak vs. Cameron TringaleSingles:Dean Burmester/Charl Schwartzel vs. Sihwan Kim/Danny LeeMarc Leishman vs. Richard BlandCopyright 2023 Golfweek.
