Is LIV Golf going to be televised?
The (golf) revolution will not be televised. LIV Golf will debut in America this week in Portland, Ore., where major PGA Tour defectors such as Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Abraham Ancer and Pat Perez will make their first appearances on the start-up tour.
Collin Morikawa
Major championship titles: 2 (2021 Open Championship, 2020 PGA Championship)
Bryson DeChambeau
The lowdown: It's been a roller-coaster year for DeChambeau, who won at Bay Hill but has been part of myriad controversies, highlighted by his public feud with teammate Brooks Koepka. DeChambeau had several chances to win the BMW Championship, but lost a playoff to another teammate, Patrick Cantlay.
Justin Thomas
The lowdown: Thomas was the clear U.S. MVP in the previous edition. The Americans won only 10 1/2 points and Thomas was responsible for four of them. He and Spieth teamed to go 3-1 and then Thomas beat Rory McIlroy in singles, 1 up.
Patrick Cantlay
The lowdown: No one in the world is playing better entering the Ryder Cup. Cantlay won two playoff events and was the FedExCup champion. He competed in the 2019 Presidents Cup and went 3-2, winning both his foursomes matches and his singles, and losing both his fourball matches.
Tony Finau
The lowdown: Finau had a winning record in his Ryder Cup debut. He went 1-1 in fourballs (didn't play foursomes) and then throttled Tommy Fleetwood, 6 and 4, on Sunday in Paris. Finau's confidence will be buoyed by his triumph at The Northern Trust, his first Tour victory since 2016.
Xander Schauffele
The lowdown: Few players are as routinely in the mix of big events as is Schauffele. The Olympic gold medal winner was part of the victorious 2019 U.S. Presidents Cup team. He went 3-2, winning twice in foursomes and his singles, and losing both his fourball matches – just like Cantlay.
Harris English
The lowdown: English ended a seven-year winless drought on Tour this season, winning twice. This will be his first appearance in either a Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup.
Collin Morikawa
Fresh off his Open Championship victory, Morikawa is now the third-ranked player in the world. He’s already won both the PGA Championship and the Open Championship on his first try — could a gold medal be next?
Justin Thomas
Currently ranked No. 4 in the world, Thomas has experience on his side. Though he’s never competed in the Olympics, four of Thomas’ 14 PGA Tour victories have been in Asia: the 2016 and 2017 CIMB Classic in Malaysia, and the 2018 and 2020 CJ Cup at Nine Bridges in South Korea.
Xander Schauffele
World No. 5 Xander Schauffele has four PGA Tour wins on his resume, and he has finished runner-up three times this season. He may also have an edge when it comes to familiarity with the country: Schauffele’s mother was raised in Japan, and Schauffele says he has travelled to Japan more than a handful of times.
Patrick Reed
The 2018 Masters champ replaces Bryson DeChambeau on the team after DeChambeau’s positive Covid-19. Reed also played in the 2016 Games and tied for 11th.
