**LIV Golf Tournament Format Update**
LIV Golf is considering a major format change, aligning itself more closely with traditional golf tournaments. CEO Greg Norman announced the possibility of adopting a 72-hole format. This shift is aimed at bolstering the series’ legitimacy and attracting top golfers who may have been hesitant to join the tour in its current format.
Pro’s caddie hit in the head by water bottle at LIV Golf event
A caddie was hit in the head by a water bottle during a LIV Golf event in Adelaide, Australia. The incident occurred at the 15th hole of the Grange Golf Club when a fan threw a plastic water bottle that struck the caddie and bounced off a nearby fence. The caddie was treated by medical staff and was able to continue with the round. No arrests have been made. The incident has been reported to authorities and the LIV Golf has stated it is investigating the matter.
Greg Norman, CEO of LIV Golf, has expressed openness to adopting a 72-hole format for its invitational series. Norman believes that expanding the format could add to the legitimacy of the circuit, which has been criticized for its shorter format. Implementing a 72-hole format would bring LIV Golf more in line with traditional golf tournaments and potentially attract top players who may have been hesitant about joining due to the shorter format.

Now, with the LIV Golf event taking place at the Centurion Club in England, the PGA Tour is determined to show that it remains the premier golf circuit. However, the lure of guaranteed money and reduced playing commitments is proving tempting for some, and the PGA Tour may need to offer significant incentives to keep its top stars.
