After a successful inaugural year, LIV Golf is only weeks away from kickstarting its second season. As the breakaway Tour seeks to become the new home of golf, the preparations for the upcoming season have begun. A hype video including the captains of all 12 teams was shared on Twitter, stirring excitement among golf fans.
The second season of the Saudi-backed Tour will begin on 24th February in Mayakoba, Mexico. As the 48 former golfers look to claim the victories and bag home the exorbitant prize money, fans have been eagerly waiting to watch the new golf league on their TV screens.
Unlike last year, the upcoming LIV Golf season can be watched on CW Network for free. As only a few weeks left for the top golfers to step on the field in El Camaleon Golf Club in two weeks, the detectors’ hype video has got the fans head over heels.

LFG! I can't decide on a team yet as I'm a fan of too many players. I think we'll see the teams define and differentiate themselves a bit more this season to help with picking a team to support.

So cool. Not corny at all. Not over selling it at all. Really really cool.

I really want this team concept to work. I hope there is more order to it this year. Last year people just switched teams, names changed, etc etc. There should be a show/youtube post taking more of a dive into the team competition. Ok, I'll do it.

“If it’s money talking, let’s have a conversation” — the lyrics make sense, all these guys put money over ethics.

Should have spent less on golfers and more on the social team.
