LIV Golf has been in the news for more than one reason in recent times. However, despite the uncertainties it has faced, the famous Saudi-backed league has not given up on its attempts to lay a wonderful future ahead of itself. While analyzing the news of its recent announcement, several conclusions can be drawn. These are some of the key takeaways that became apparent following LIV Golf’s recent announcement.

1. Not a single Donald Trump golf course found on the 2024 LIV Golf schedule

Standing true to our previous speculations, the clear divide between LIV Golf and its former ally Donald Trump has just become more apparent. The absence of Donald Trump at major LIV Golf events was just the tipping point.

It is apparent from the recently released LIV Golf schedule that the services of the golf courses of the former POTUS’ have not been availed of in any of the scheduled events. This comes as a shocker, as Norman and Trump have had concrete relations in the past. However, things have surely seemed to have taken a different direction.

2. Shocking inclusion of a PGA Tour ally

Interestingly, the scheduled venue for LIV Golf Nashville comes as a shocker. The event is scheduled from June 21-23 next year at the golf course, The Grove. The famous venue based in Nashville is an 18-hole, par-72 course. This is surprising because the private golf course is a Korn Ferry Tour event host.

This season’s second event, the LIV Golf Las Vegas is set to take place from February 8-10 at the Las Vegas Country Club.

It will coincide with the Super Bowl weekend, as the latter is supposed to be played on February 11 at the Allegiant Stadium in Nevada. Interestingly, this comes as a surprise, as the same was only true of the Phoenix Open until now.
