Collin Morikawa says new Saudi LIV series will not have the same heft as 150th Open
If money were the most important thing to the world’s top golfers then the new Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series would have 100 players signed up, British Open champion Collin Morikawa said on Tuesday.
“I’m not just playing for the money,” said Morikawa, during a media call on Tuesday to discuss his Open defence, which will take place from July 14-17 at St Andrews.“If that were the case, then you would have had 100 out of 100 sign up for this other Tour that’s happening, but you don’t. Morikawa noted that no-one knows for sure who will tee it up for the LIV inaugural event from June 9-11 at the Centurion Golf Club outside London, but golf fans know who will be in St Andrews for a historic 150th Open, including himself and Woods.
The 150th Open is shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest sporting events, with the R&A announcing that a record 290,000 fans are expected to pack onto the Old Course.
