Last year, LIV Golf emerged and completely turned around the golf world! Tiger Woods, who has often been outspoken about his disagreement with the league, thereafter collaborated with another legend, Rory McIlroy, and produced a brainchild in response to the Saudi Tour. In collaboration with the PGA Tour, they launched the TGL, a team-based virtual golf league.
And with the merger being announced in June, many would have assumed each side trying to one-up the other would have ended, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Because now, LIV has pulled off yet another surprise move, proving fans with a “fantasy” come true!

Just like Tiger Woods’ TGL aims to engage fans with golf, LIV too has now made a move to make itself more approachable and draw more attention to the game. The Saudi-backed LIV Golf has now launched a free-to-play fantasy game! It is quite similar to all the other trending and viral sports’ fantasy leagues. The gameplay will run in parallel to the LIV League Golf season, and fans can engage with it in several ways.
In a recent Twitter post, the Australian Golf Digest announced the news. “The new @livgolf_league fantasy league allows fans to compete for prizes such as tournament tickets and merchandise.”
