While LIV has attracted several of the sport’s biggest names, one area where the Saudi-backed league has struggled to gain traction is with the television viewing audience. To that end, in an attempt to separate itself from its competition, it’s expected that this will be the first of many LIV tournaments played under the lights. That certainly makes it unique in the golf world.
Additionally, if it’s a success for LIV Golf, it could open the door for future tournaments — outside of just LIV Golf — to be played at night.
