LIV Golf will be bringing back The Duels to more tournaments this year after its massive success in the recent Miami event. Currently, the Duels are not ticketed for fan attendance and will be broadcast on selective YouTube channels as per the event.
The Duels format features LIV Golf stars going against content creators. The inaugral edition in Miami saw six two-man teams competing in a nine-hole scramble at Trump Doral. It was exclusively broadcast on popular golf YouTuber Grant Horvat's channel and garnered over 1 million views in less than a day.
Now, LIV Golf has announced that the popular contest will return to the Virginia, Dallas, UK and Chicago events this season. The league has promised "4 new battlegrounds with new players, formats, and creators."
