There are still four events to be played on the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series, but attention is already shifting to next year.
The Saudi-funded start-up staged its fourth tournament in Boston over the weekend, with former world No.1 and two-time major champion Dustin Johnson finishing top of the leaderboard.
The action moves on to Rich Harvest Farms in Illinois in a fortnight’s time ahead of trip’s to Thailand and Saudi Arabia next month before the season concludes with the Tour Championship, taking place at Trump Doral in Florida from October 27-30.

However, despite there being plenty still to play for this year, a leaked schedule for 2023 was leaked late last week – and it got tongues wagging.
First reported by SI.comthe season will run from February to September and comprise 14 events: nine in the US and five elsewhere.
It is anticipated that one of those ‘international’ stops will include a visit to the 1997 Ryder Cup host venue Valderrama.
That’s significant as, until recently, the Andalucian track was a staple of the DP World Tour, hosting various events in the half-century the former European Tour has been in existence.
Here’s a full rundown of the ‘tentative’ LIV schedule for 2023:
– February: Florida (Course TBD)
– February: California (Course TBD)
– March: Tucson (Dove Mountain or the Gallery)
– April: Australia (Sydney or Queensland)
– April: Singapore (Sentosa)
– May: Washington (Week after US PGA, Course TBD)
– June: Philadelphia (Course TBD)
– July: London (Centurion)
– July: Spain (Valderrama, week before The Open)
– August: New Jersey (Bedminster)
– August: West Virginia (The Greenbrier)
– September: Chicago (Course TBD)
– September: Toronto or Mexico (Course TBD)
– September: Florida (Trump Doral)
LIV officials have yet to confirm whether or not this schedule is indeed accurate and so it remains subject to change.
