[Golf Topic] World No. 20 Ancer "Joining LIV Golf"..."From the 2nd Round on the 30th"

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…World No. 20 Abraham Ancer (Mexico, photo) is joining 'LIV Golf.'

On the 20th (Korean time), ESPN in the United States reported, "Following Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed, Ancer is also scheduled to participate in the second LIV Invitational Series event." The 31-year-old Ancer has been actively competing on the PGA Tour since 2018 and has secured one victory in a total of 141 events. He gained additional spotlight last August by winning the World Golf Championships (WGC) FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

It is interesting that Ancer has earned $15.38 million (198.8 billion KRW) on the PGA Tour, including one win, four runner-up finishes, and 25 top-10 placements. ESPN analyzes that "he seems attracted to LIV Golf, where it is easier to earn money comfortably." LIV Golf, led by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), held its inaugural event on the 12th in England, where Charl Schwartzel (South Africa) became the first champion. The second event will be held on the 30th in Portland, Oregon, USA.
