So the LIV Series has played out its first episode and the world of golf now turns its head to Brookline for the third major of the season at Brookline. The US Open is upon us. Eleven golfers who participated in the debut last week of the LIV Golf Invitational series — including former US Open winner Dustin Johnson and six-time runner-up Phil Mickelson — are competing at Brookline. The USGA has permitted them to play despite a suspension from the PGA.

Let’s take a look at who is matched with whom for this week’s action.
