After 10 adrenaline-filled tournaments of the Saudi-backed league, the 2025 schedule is now moving towards one of the sponsored events, i.e., LIV Golf UK by JCB. The event will be teeing off from July 25 at the JCB Golf & Country Club, Great Britain. With new winners in every event except Joaquin Niemann winning four times, it will be interesting to see who will clinch the title and the highest share in the $25 million purse.

The JCB Golf and Country Club is one of the most famous golf venues in the world. Being on the bucket list of players and for the fans, the debut edition last year has set the tone for what to expect. With world-class entertainment and a party atmosphere, there is a lot to look forward to. Back in the day, an English aristocrat named Thomas Banbridge built Woodseat Hall on the ground where the course is situated now. But the course had a significant contribution from Lord Bamford, the chairman of JCB. When Woodseat Hall crumbled back in the 1940s, he came in with his vision of building a golf course and bought the property.

Wanting to host the world’s best players, he engaged with architect Robin Hiseman to oversee the construction of the course. Bringing the ancient features of JCB into design, Hiseman sculpted the two returning nines around the hall and an ancient canal on the 3rd hole. Since then, the course has been utilized for multiple renowned events like the JCB Championship and the second year hosting LIV Golf UK. You can get all the ticket info here. 

Interestingly, the runner-up of 2024, Joaquin Nieman, is showcasing his exceptional form with four victories already in 2025. But he will not be the only one taking ‌center stage.

Players in the spotlight for the LIV Golf UK

With the LIV event placed just after the Open Championship, some players have showcased exceptional performance, which will put them in the spotlight for the event. Even though Joaquin Niemann missed the cut with his rounds of 70 and 74, he is still the top seed for the event, considering his four wins in the season and top position on the LIV Golf standings.

Apart from him showcasing consistency, Bryson DeChambeau yet again came close to his major win but fell short. The American professional was placed T10 with his rounds of 78, 65, 68, and 64. The first round was the one where he struggled, but his impressive comeback placed him in a respectable position, showcasing his form. Well, not far away, Dustin Johnson was placed in 23rd place with his consistent performance of 73, 69, 67, and 69.

Even the in-form Spaniards, Sergio Garcia and Jon Rahm, also showcased a great performance. Garcia and Rahm were placed T34 with their 3 under 281.

Now, with the LIV Golf UK event lined up next at the historic course, all eyes will be on the four great performances at the Open Championship, along with Joaquin Niemann. Who do you think will clinch the title this year? Share your picks with us in the comments below.
