The fifth LIV Golf event takes place in the “Second City.” Kind of.
LIV Golf heads to Rich Harvest Farms in Illinois this weekend, and while the tour calls it its “Chicago” event, it’s actually taking place about an hour outside of Chicago, in Sugar Grove, Illinois.
Regardless of exact coordinates, Dustin Johnson is set to defend his Boston victory, where he became the first American to win a LIV Golf invitational event. Johnson outlasted LIV Golf newcomers Joaquin Niemann and Anirban Lahiri at The International, taking home the win after the tour’s first playoff.
Entering Chicago, there are no splashy news names who have defected from the PGA Tour, but the competition should remain just as intriguing.
