Another PGA Tour Winner Poached by LIV Golf; Official Announcement to Drop Soon

LIV Golf has been in the news for an extended period. The rival tour has taken over some of the biggest names in the sport, and the fan base for the new golf league is also increasing. Moreover, according to a recent report, another player will be joining the Saudi-backed golf league.

Is Matthew Wolff joining the LIV Golf Invitational Series?

According to multiple reports, including the first by the Telegraph, the American professional Matthew Wolff may shift to the LIV Golf Tour. It is also speculated that LIV Golf will announce Matthew Wolff’s name today, Monday, along with Spanish amateur Eugenio Chacarra.

Wolff will join the likes of Patrick Reed, Abraham Ancer, and other famous PGA Tour professionals who have already joined the Saudi-backed golf league. Some time back, there were growing speculations that the American professional had already joined the rival Tour. However, the report from Telegraph confirms that LIV Golf Invitational Series will announce his name on Monday.

If the report is accurate, the 23-year-old will be the youngest professional to feature in the LIV Golf events. At the same time, it also suggests that he will play the Portland event at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, which will start on June 30 and finish on July 2. Moreover, Matthew and Eugenio’s names came as a shock as both players were below 25 years, and could achieve greater heights on the PGA Tour.

Wolff is already a winner on the PGA Tour. He won the 3M Open in 2019. He is also the only professional to finish in the top five in his first two major championship events in 132 years. Wolff is just outside the top 75 in the Official World Golf Rankings. Moreover, Chacarra has revealed that the Spanish amateur has signed a three-year deal with the LIV Golf Invitational Series. However, only time will tell if the report is accurate. 

How did Wolff finish last week?

Matthew played brilliantly last week at the challenging TPC River Highlands. He ended the Tour event with an overall score of six-under-par. As a result, the American professional finished in tied 40 position on the leaderboard on Sunday.

Moreover, Wolff carded a final round of four-under-par, 66 to finish within the top 50. His final round of 66 included three birdies, one double bogey, one bogey, and four pars on the opening nine holes. As a result, he moved out in level-par, 35. Matthew made four birdies, and five pars on the back nine to end his round.
