The 2022 U.S. Open remains open, golfers Liv Golf Invitational Series
The 2022 U.S. Open, with a prize of $17.5 million, kicks off today, June 16, at Par70 at the Country Club Sports and Recreation Center in Brooklyn, Massachusetts.
The entry list includes 156 players, including faces who have just dropped out of the PGA Tour to participate in the LIV Golf Invitational Tournament-Dustin Johnson, Martin Kemmer and Graeme McDowell, Phil Mickelson and Bryson Deschambeau. In this group, only Mickelson didn't win the championship, holding the record of six runners-up.
"A week ago, we discussed carefully and focused on where the golfers played, who sponsored them and the possibility of being suspended. But in the end, we still accepted them and understood the decision. This is not necessarily agreed by many parties," USGA CEO Mike Whan said on June 15 before the 122nd US Open.
Despite receiving this period, the USGA CEO emphasized that from the next period, the "PGA Tour group" is likely to be banned.
Whan explained more about the problem that USGA couldn't solve when LIV Invitational Series appeared: "At first this year, we've selected the list of fights, still US Open motions to all of it. According to that, many have been distinguished before entering the new arena, more, US Open this year has been 9-0-0-0-year-0-0-0-0-0-0-negative numbers, basic basic basic basic identifying, basic basic basic basic basic basic basic basic basic basic, physical characteristic, physical characteristics. Where the hell you've been, because someone sponsors it doesn't make sense, even unfair.
Liv Golf Invitational Tournament opened in London on June 9th. On the same day, 17 members who volunteered to participate in the PGA Tour were hung with sticks indefinitely without the approval of the organizer. Among the groups disciplined are former champions who returned to the U.S. Open this week-Johnson, Keimer, McDowell.
Invitational Series is owned by Liv Golf Investments - a business founded and made by the legendary golfer Greg Norman, and the shareholder is a public investment fund (PIF). PIF is the reputation of pouring money to organize spectacular sporting events to fill the bad reputation of human rights and gender equality in Saudi.
Each competition consists of three rounds of non-elimination, dividing 48 players into an average of 12 teams, and promising that all will receive cash rewards. Funding for each event is $25 million, of which $20 million goes to individual baseball games and the rest goes to the top three in team events. In particular, the final game-the big final-spent $30 million on the top three individuals throughout the schedule and $50 million on the team segment.
