Greg Norman, CEO of LIV Golf Investments, which is in charge of operating the Super Golf League

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund (PIF) is actively recruiting players for the Super Golf League (SGL).

On the 25th (Korean time), the US Golf Channel reported, "LIV Golf Investments, which operates the SGL, sent notices containing the guidelines for the first tournament in London in June to players from around the world who have expressed interest in participating in the Super Golf League." LIV Golf Investments, led by the "Great White Shark" Greg Norman (Australia), attached a link to apply for the tournament in the notice. The participating players will be decided and notified one month before the opening of the first tournament. There will be 48 players.

The players will be divided into 12 teams of 4 players each. Team captains will be announced later. Rankings will be determined by 54-hole stroke play without a cut-off, and the $20 million prize money will be shared. This total prize money is the same as The Players Championship, which offers the largest prize in PGA Tour history. The number of players per tour has been pre-allocated. The PGA Tour, DP World Tour (formerly European Tour), and Asian Tour each have 3 players. The Australian, South African, and Japan Tours each have 2 players.

The remaining players will be selected based on world rankings. Following the London tournament in June, the SGL will hold events in Portland, Oregon, USA, and New Jersey, USA in July; Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and Chicago, Illinois, USA in September; Bangkok, Thailand, Saudi Arabia in October; and then the Team Championship. Top PGA Tour players have already declared they will not participate in the SGL, and the PGA Tour maintains a firm stance, stating, "Players who participate will be expelled."
