The LIV Golf Round 2, the second leg of the Saudi-backed golf league, will begin on June 30. Unlike other tours that follow mostly the same routine, the second event of the league is a lot different from its inaugural event in London. 

After exploring the grand Centurion Club in London, the LIV Golf has now moved to American soil. The Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club will host the Round 2 of the league. It is the first of the five American golf clubs that will soon host the events of LIV Golf.
