LIV Golf players at the Masters: Tracking scores for Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, others on 2023 leaderboard

Competition makes for strange bedfellows.

LIV Golf is making its Masters debut this year, marking the first time that golfers signed to the upstart circuit make their appearance in Augusta under the LIV banner. However, it’s not the first time that a LIV golfer has appeared in one of golf’s major tournaments.

In 2022, LIV players were allowed to play in The Open Championship, with Dustin Johnson making the PGA Tour and its players sweat with a seventh-place finish. Bryson DeChambeau and Ian Poulter, two other LIV defectors, both finished in the top 25 at the Open as well.

Now, LIV Golf has another opportunity to prove they’re more than just an exhibition and retirement circuit when its most notable golfers take the course in Augusta, and they have a good group with which to do it. Johnson is joined by Cameron Smith, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and others as LIV looks to fit a jacket on one of its golfers — and win bragging rights in the process.
