In the press conference ahead of the LIV’s fifth leg, a reporter asked Watson about his take on where LIV will be 10 years from now. He also questioned him about what he thinks of his legacy with the Saudi-funded league.

Watson went ahead and appreciated LIV’s very much-discussed business model and the team model of the league. “I believe that golf was kind of stale and the only sport that I saw that was missing team atmosphere.” Commenting on the LIV’s legacy, he said, “So there’s a lot of dreams and aspirations and a lot of things that we’ve already accomplished in less than a year, but we still want to keep going forward.”

Mentioning the legacy he will leave behind, he said, “Legacy-wise, I just want to be part of something that was amazing, I believe in. I believe in the right steps and what we are taking.” Watson said that he is happy being part of something big and “ten years from now, it will be a different conversation”

Which of the LIV Golfers will be playing at the Sentosa Golf Club? 

Greg Norman has selected a group of exceptionally skilled players from the PGA Tour to participate in his league. In the spirit of team collaboration that defines LIV Golf, the participation of each player is of equal significance on the course. Therefore, unlike the PGA Tour, LIV Golf mandates that all players participate in every tournament of the schedule, without exception.

Top LIV players Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Kevin Na, and Bryson DeChambeau will make an appearance on the course.
