Explained simply
LIV Golf is a professional golf league that competes with the long-established PGA Tour. In 2022, court documents from LIV Golf’s bankruptcy proceedings showed that American golfer Cameron Young had signed a document indicating he intended to join the league, but he stayed on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour runs tournaments around the world, including the Players Championship, one of its leading events. Young’s later success on the tour illustrates how golfers’ decisions about which circuit to play on have unfolded amid competition between the two leagues.
Golf tournaments are usually played over four rounds, but severe weather can disrupt the schedule. When a tournament is shortened, players’ scores over the completed rounds determine who advances or ties for the lead, with a playoff used to decide a winner.
