Zuël started her journey in the sport as a teenage prodigy, breaking age records on the amateur circuit. Soon after making a name, she joined the Ladies European Tour. Following a successful career as a pro, she transformed herself into one of golf’s most respected modern storytellers. And now, as LIV Golf gears up for its expanded 2026 schedule, Zuël steps into a new chapter. This time, not on the fairways with a club, but behind the microphone.

Joining the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) sponsored league, the English golfer stated, “My passions: golf, technology, creativity, and forward thinking are all reflected in this role. Joining LIV Golf will enable me to draw on my experience as a commentator and former player, whilst contributing to the wider mission of expanding awareness and driving positive global change within the game.”

Joining hands with LIV Golf, the new broadcaster also added, “Challenge has always guided my career, and I’m drawn to environments that encourage curiosity, innovation, and a genuine sense of purpose. LIV Golf is at the forefront of redefining how the sport is experienced, powered by elite athletes and leaders who embrace meaningful progress – a vision that strongly resonates with me.” The league has indeed been fighting against streaming and broadcasting issues in the last season.

For example, the fans in the UK slammed the tournament for highlighting their media rights with FOX ahead of the start of the event. Unfortunately, while it was a massive deal, the broadcast was only available to the fans within the US. But for the others, the only way to catch all the live action was through the app. And guess what? The app glitched big time. 

Moreover, the British fans had more complaints coming in. Previously, the fans could stream the action live via the official YouTube channel. Unfortunately, after the release of the app, the YouTube streaming was scrapped. Surely, this angered a lot of fans, and they immediately called for the action to be shifted back to YouTube. Thus, with the organization dealing with some significant struggles, fans are now eager to see how things will be sorted in the coming days.
