RangeGoats and Ripper: LIV Golf League unveils 12 teams, captains ahead of 2023 opener

The 14-event league begins its 2023 season later this month in Mexico.

Later this month the rebranded LIV Golf League will begin its 14-event 2023 season at a former PGA Tour stop in Mexico.

Before the shotgun start at Mayakoba’s El Camaleón Golf Course on the Riviera Maya, Feb. 24-26, the upstart circuit led by Greg Norman and financially supported by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund revealed its 12 teams and captains for the new season. With just 17 days until the season begins, the league has yet to reveal the rosters for 2023.

Those who watched LIV in its debut season in 2022 will notice not much has changed in regards to the teams, but a few have new logos and two even changed names. Take a look at the 12 teams, captains and logos for the LIV Golf League in 2023.

LIV Golf schedule: What you need to know about the 2023 events

‘I have a right to wear it’: Despite being asked not to, Ian Poulter wears ‘Majesticks’ LIV Golf logo during first round of BMW PGA Championship

“This is a business I own a part of and I have a right to wear it.”

On August 31, ESPN reported the DP World Tour asked LIV Golf members not to wear anything LIV related on their apparel during the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

Not everyone listened.

Ian Poulter already made headlines this week in Surrey, England, after being captured on video having a conversation with PGA Tour-backer and the event’s defending champion, Billy Horschel.

It’s unclear what the discussion was about.

During Thursday’s first round, Poulter wore a “Majesticks” logo on his sleeve. He appears to be the only one that went against the DP World Tour’s wishes.

“This is a business I own a part of and I have a right to wear it,” he said after signing for a 3-under 69.

Poulter tied for 17th at LIV Golf Boston last week while his team finished third.

Patrick Reed wore a LIV Golf logo on his sleeve during Wednesday’s practice round, but judging by pictures from Thursday, did not wear anything LIV related during the first round.
