Koepka, Mickelson play at The Masters, a 'win' for Saudi-funded LIV Golf
The breakaway league has been criticized for its relative lack of talent versus the PGA Tour, but LIV golfers performed well at The Masters to the chagrin of their detractors.
Spain’s Jon Rahm won The Masters golf championship on Sunday, beating out Americans Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson — both of whom play in the Saudi-funded LIV Golf league — by four strokes. Koepka was leading earlier in the tournament, but fell apart on the final day.
In fact, the performance of Koepka, Mickelson and other LIV golfers was a major storyline at the tournament. Several fans and commentators consider this year’s Masters to have been a win for the breakaway league.
Won’t deny this is a disappointing ending to The Masters, but overall this is a win for LIV Golf.
With 3 LIV golfers finishing in the Top 5 on the leaderboard, no one can deny the quality of play on the burgeoning startup tour.
The future is bright and LIV continues to win!
