The pro-am is in full swing at Centurion Club as the players get warmed up for Thursday’s big tee-off for the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series.
We have seen some old buddies teaming up for the innovative and lucrative tournament and others are getting to know each other for the first time. Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood are in the same ‘Majesticks’ team, while veteran Phil Mickelson will have the youngest player by his side in Asian Tour teen star ‘TK’ Ratchanon Chantananuwat on ‘Hy Flyers’.
