LIV Defector Fearlessly Puts His Teammates at Stake As He Eyes Victory at $25 Million Bedminster Showdown

After hosting an exciting Greenbrier event last week where Bryson DeChambeau scored a historic first win with the lowest score, this week LIV is in Bedminster at Donald Trump’s course.

The competition is intense as the event has a prize purse of a whooping $25 million out of which $20 million is reserved for individual wins, while $5 million has been set aside for the team round winner. And to seek inspiration, a LIV golfer revealed the bizarre encouragement he and his team have planned for themselves.

With so much at stake, it is evident that the players are giving their best efforts toward attaining the top position. And not only that some players have even come up with an idea to mark their victory, if successful that will be considered strange by many.

Tied on the first spot 11-under is Stinger GC which is led by Louis Oosthuizen and comprised of Dean Burmester, Branden Grace, and Charl Schwartzel. But the team is getting tough competition from Ripper GC which is led by Cameron Smith and comprises Matt Jones, Marc Leishman, and Jediah Morgan.

And while hot-headed competition is regular in such situations, one pro golfer had made a very big decision to celebrate their possible victory. Dean Burmester has revealed that Stingers are planning on shaving their head if they win! “If we can get a team win, then everyone is going to shave their head, so I’m excited about that,” Dean said.

The first round began on Friday at Trump National Bedminster and players are simultaneously vying for individual and group rounds. Following both the leading teams is Dustin Johnson’s led 4Aces GC is tied for second position with Stinger GC and is one behind the Rippers. While Bubba Watson’s RangeGoats GC is at 7-under and DeChambeau’s Crushers are at 5-under. However, they are also fighting hard for individual wins as well.

How are LIV golfers faring in the individual round?

For the individual round, Australia’s Smith made an opening with 5-under 66 and made a one-stroke lead over Charles Howell III. While Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed each shot 3-under 68 and are tied in the third position. Also competing at the event is Talor Gooch, who has already made three victories this season and has a higher chance of winning. While Phil Mickelson who is also seeking a big win, shot a round of 67 and is tied for the second spot with Burmester at 5-under.

The final rounds for both categories will be held on Sunday. And if Oosthuizen’s team wins it will be interesting to watch if they would keep up their promise, something they are even excited about.
