The 14-second video went viral in no time, gaining over 4,000 views within just hours of being posted on Twitter! The hype for LIV’s return to its inaugural venue is certainly quite high, and among them, it’s clear that Koepka, who captains Smash GC, is one of the favorites to grab a win this week.

What’s at stake for the LIV stars at the London event?

This Saudi-backed league had 14 events on their roster this year. More than halfway through their season, they’re now hosting their ninth event of 2023. Following the incredible showdown last week at the Real Club Valderrama in Sotogrande, Spain, that ended on July 2nd, the league is now in London, all set for the event to be on Friday at The Centurion Club.

Just like all other LIV events, the London tournament will also feature a demanding 54-hole stroke play design, in which its 48-player roster will compete for the whopping $25 million purse, of which $20 million will be split amongst the golfers for the individual event, and the remaining 5 million will be awarded to the top 3 teams as per their standings on Sunday.
