There is only a week left to the inaugural event of the LIV Golf Invitational Series. Although the Saudi-backed league faced many obstacles from the beginning, it is finally happening. As of now, the golf world knows mostly everything about the inaugural event; everything but how to watch it. 

There are two ways to catch the LIV Golf Series. The first way would be to purchase a ticket and watch the event in person. The Centurion Club in London is hosting the event from June 9th to 11th. And the cost of each ticket per day for an adult is £67.55, about $85.

Notably, anyone under the age of 15 doesn’t need a ticket to watch the tournament in London. Apart from young golf enthusiasts, HM Armed Forces personnel have free access to the event. However, not everyone can watch it in person. But the officials have made sure that regardless, every golf fan gets to watch the event, one way or another.

Unlike other Tour events, no television channels will broadcast the Saudi-backed league. But, fans can enjoy watching the event live on YouTube, free of cost. Even the official website, livgolf.com, will also broadcast the tournament live.
