LIV Golf announces a switch to a four-round format, aligning its events with traditional professional golf tournaments.
The controversial LIV Golf series will now feature events lasting four rounds, moving away from its original shorter format. This change aims to bring the tournament structure closer to established professional tours like the PGA and DP World Tour.
The New Format in Detail
Previously, LIV Golf events were played over three rounds, setting them apart from the conventional four-round structure of most major professional golf tournaments. With this change, players and fans can expect longer competition days and potentially more strategic play.
Implications for Players and Fans
The shift to four rounds is seen as a step toward greater legitimacy and acceptance within the international golf community. It may attract more established players and broaden interest from traditional golf audiences.
