Your support makes all the difference.The USA will host an international team in the Presidents Cup from Thursday but LIV Golf is still the topic in the headlines.
A multitude of stars will miss out on the competition as it is part of the PGA Tour with players who have signed for LIV not allowed to participate.
The USA’s captain Davis Love III told the Charlotte Observer: “The Presidents Cup is just one tournament on the PGA Tour that these guys (who joined LIV Golf) are taking a chance on never getting to play again.
“So that’s both heart-wrenching, disappointing and sometimes infuriating that we’re having to deal with this…. It’s just very sad for the game.”
But who is on each team and how can fans watch? Here’s all you need to know.
When is it?
The tournament will run from 22-25 September at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
How can I watch?
