$40 Million-worth golfer reveals key difference between 2015 Presidents Cup and ongoing LIV Golf event in Korea

The LIV Golf Korea is going on at the legendary Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea course in Incheon. The event features 54 players competing for the main prize of $25 million. A lot of big names are playing in the competition, including Louis Oosthuizen, who recently compared the event to the 2015 Presidents Cup.

Louis Oosthuizen, with a net worth of $40 million (per Celebrity Net Worth), is the captain of Stinger GC in LIV Golf. He finished the opening round of the LIV Golf Korea event tied for third position with a score of six under par. Oosthuizen appeared to be in excellent form and has maintained a track record of this form on the course.

There was a mention of the 2015 Presidents Cup when he spoke to the press recently at LIV Golf Korea. It was an event held at the same venue, and Louis Oosthuizen had put in an excellent performance. He had an unbeaten record of four victories, zero defeats, and one draw (4-0-1), scoring 4.5 points. During the press conference, Oosthuizen was asked to differentiate the two events and he stated:

"Well, stroke play and match play is completely different competitions. I think we were -- during the Presidents Cup, you were a lot more focused on hitting -- well, a lot more aggressive with your iron play, especially going for pins. With stroke play this week, you're a little bit different. I do think the golf course presents quite a lot of birdies, and the greens are really good. So you can make a few putts here."

Oosthuizen will be looking forward to the second round of the LIV Golf Korea event.
