Update 6:40 p.m. ET: The tee times for the shotgun start have been updated below.
The LIV Golf Tour will hold its first event to the United States starting on Thursday, as Pumpkin Ridge in suburban Portland, Oregon will play host to the three-day tournament that doubles as the second event of the new Saudi-backed league.
The tournament gets underway with a shotgun start at 4:15 p.m. ET, or 1:15 p.m. PT. All 48 players will be in groups of three and starting on 16 different holes, so the entire round will be completed in just a bit over four hours. For golf fans, knowing there’s a set time for your favorite players instead of having to check the tee times from the PGA TOUR each week does have its benefits.
But the only way to catch LIV Golf’s Portland event is online, as the nascent league still doesn’t have a broadcast contract in the USA. LIVGolf.com, YouTube and Facebook will each carry the same live streaming coverage of the tournament starting at 1 p.m. PT/4 p.m. ET. on Thursday.
Here are the complete Round 1 pairings for the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational at Pumpkin Ridge:
