As the golf world prepares to head down Magnolia Lane, many of those competing at Augusta National are getting last-minute work in to try and peak next week.
For the 18 LIV golfers who will be in Augusta, Georgia, next week, they are teeing it up this weekend at Orange County National in Winter Garden, Florida, for LIV Golf Orlando, the third event of LIV Golf’s 2023 season.
Charles Howell III won the season-opening event in Mayakoba, and Danny Lee survived a four-man playoff two weeks ago to win in Tucson.
After the second round in Orlando, Brooks Koepka took the lead with a bogey-free 6-under 66. He sits at 12 under, three shots clear of Sebastian Munoz at 9 under. Munoz, who shot 9-under 62 in the first round, was stuck in neutral for most of the day.
If Koepka, a four-time major champion, were to win Sunday, he would become the first golfer to win two LIV events.
In the team competition, Koepka’s Smash GC is at 26 under and Joaquin Niemann’s Torque GC is two shots behind.
Here’s a look at some of the best photos from LIV Golf Orlando.
