If you think LIV Golf mainly focuses on interesting features like the “Flight Deck” to enhance the fan experience, you’re not entirely correct. Lately, the Saudi-funded league has been going all out to elevate fans’ experiences with various deals. Starting with a historical course, Houston Golf Club, LIV has paid attention to small details like tee markers. What’s so special about tee markers Interestingly, the tee markers at the LIV event are designed as small astronauts and hold special significance.

What does the little astronaut mean at LIV Golf Houston?

Before the tournament began, the official Instagram account @livgolf_league shared a post revealing that the tee markers for the entire event would be little astronauts. No, this doesn’t mean Greg Norman plans to take the players to the moon; instead, it relates to the city itself. Houston, Texas, is home to the Mission Control Center and is a major hub for space aeronautics.

Going to the moon would have been impossible without the Mission Control Center. Nearly every move the astronauts made was monitored, supported, or advised by Houston’s ground control team. It all began in 1959 when NASA engineer Christopher Kraft developed mission control while preparing for the Mercury missions.

During that time, NASA needed a global tracking network to monitor and control flights and a means to communicate with the astronauts. Consequently, they established the first mission control base at Cape Canaveral, near their Florida launch site.
