The roster revelation by LIV Golf has been the talk of the town lately. On Wednesday, they announced the rosters for Torque GC, Smash GC, the Majesticks GC, and 4 Aces GC. Team rosters for all 12 teams were supposed to be officially revealed on February 17. However, the Saudi-backed circuit has left the fans in wonder. They only revealed eight out of 12 teams, and left the other four for next week. The fans have been bombing the comments section with their views.
LIV Golf league’s roster reveal went crazy!
The official Twitter handle of LIV Golf revealed the roster with attractive graphics. Dustin Johnson is the captain of last year’s winning team, 4 Aces GC. Brooks Koepka is again returning with the same team members of Smash GC. However, the weird part was that team Majesticks GC has three captains: Henrik Stenson, Ian Poulter, and Lee Westwood.

LIV Golf also informed the fans that the team roster for Hyflyers GC, Iron Heads GC, RangeGoats GC, and StingerGC would be revealed on Monday. Until now, no new names who will be joining the team have been revealed. But there might be a few surprises on Monday when they finally show the remaining four teams.
It was rumored some PGA Tour players joined LIV for 2023 last year. No golfer or authority made an official statement, therefore the rumors were put to rest. But, Greg Norman’s strategy of luring all his followers is working. They also secured a broadcast agreement with CNS Network by the American Tour’s opponent, which was not possible the year before. As a result, starting on February 24, we will see fresh alterations in Mayakoba.
Golf world goes berserk over the latest LIV reveal
Fans were smart enough to figure out the strategy of the Saudi-backed circuit. One golf enthusiast appreciated that LIV changed their dates of revealing the four teams that were most rumored to have new players. They set it for after the Genesis Invitational, keeping the excitement intact. And it is working.
So if they don’t get picked on a team are they dropped from the format? Very confused how it works – if you don’t make a team you play the Asian tour?

However, the comment section was filled with speculations, confusion, and questions. Majesticks GC was at the center of the discussion as it has three captains. But that was not it. The fans of LIV defectors sent good wishes too.
Here are a few of the reactions of the golf fans:
Im no expert but how does a 4-man team have 3 captains

Wow this is awful! I bet some of those players regret their decision leaving the @PGATOUR then again 🤑🤑🤑

So somebody playing this week at Riv is jumping ship. Cameron Young? Looking at the teams so far too. I’m guessing Phil has recruited some guys for the HyFlyers. Lanny is hearing Webb Simpson as a potential suitor 🤫
