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.

Seahawks place defensive end Rasheem Green on injured reserve

The Seahawks have placed defensive end Rasheem Green on the injured reserve with a stinger – he can return to the roster after three games.

The Seattle Seahawks have added another defensive player to the injured reserve this week. Coach Pete Carroll announced Friday afternoon that defensive end Rasheem Green was headed to the IR with a neck injury (stinger).

“It’s just going to be a couple more weeks, so this was the right way to handle this,” Carroll told reporters after the team walkthrough. “We’re expecting him to come back to us. He’s just got to get through the process to make sure he can pass his tests. It’s going to be a couple weeks, we think, so this is going to work out OK in terms of putting him down, and he’ll be available to return.”

Green now joins defensive back Marquise Blair and linebacker Bruce Irvin on the injured reserve, although their seasons are over due to torn ACLs and upcoming surgeries. Green can return to the active roster once he sits out the required three games.

Seahawks sustain only minor injuries in wild-card victory over Eagles

The Seattle Seahawks came away with the wild-card victory in Philadelphia over the Eagles with only a few new minor injuries.

Unlike the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost starting quarterback Carson Wentz early in the game, the Seattle Seahawks escaped their wild-card win Sunday with relatively few new injuries.

Defensive end Ziggy Ansah left the matchup with a neck injury, which coach Pete Carroll confirmed was a stinger during his postgame press conference.

“He had a stinger,” Carroll said. “I can’t tell you any more about it than that.”

Other than that, Seattle was able to finish the game without any major hits to the roster.

“Pretty fair night for us in that regard,” Carroll confirmed. “We’ve gotta see what happens with Ziggy’s stinger that he had. There’s a couple of guys who got banged up but nothing serious right now.

“Everybody that got something during the game went back in.”

Seattle will need to be as healthy as can be by next Sunday when the Seahawks travel to Green Bay to face the Packers in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Kickoff has been set for 3:40 p.m. PT on Fox.

Seahawks DE Ziggy Ansah limited to start week with shoulder stinger

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ziggy Ansah began the work week limited in practice after suffering a shoulder stinger against the Vikings.

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ziggy Ansah suffered a minor setback Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings. He was limited to start the practice week on Wednesday.

“He had a stinger in the game,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters. “Just got to make sure he’s okay.”

While the stinger impacts the same shoulder Ansah had operated on over the offseason, Carroll can’t be certain if there’s a correlation with the new injury.

Coming off a Monday night game, the Seahawks had a light practice on Wednesday consisting of only a walkthrough. While the participation report was estimated as though a full practice had taken place, it was at least encouraging Ansah was able to take the field.

“He looks like he’s doing okay so far,” Carroll said. “We won’t know for a couple days if he’s clear and all that.”

Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was also listed as limited on Wednesday but is expected to play Week 14.

Ansah, Clowney and the rest of the Seahawks have a few more days to recover before heading down to Los Angeles to face the Rams Sunday night.
