2023 LIV Golf Chicago field

After a break, the LIV Golf League now heads to Rich Harvest Farms, Illinois, for the Chicago event. The event, which follows the Saudi-backed series’ 54-hole format, will have the likes of Phil Mickelson, Smith, Koepka and DeChambeau among its top contenders. Ryder-Cup rejects Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter will also be on the field.

It is pertinent to note that LIV Golf still doesn’t provide Official World Golf Ranking points, and the golfers only play for money. Owing to the Saudi-backed series golfers’ major drop-off in the rankings, the LIV Golf Chicago will feature only two of the top 50 in the OWGR among the top contenders.
