When is LIV Golf tour’s next event? Date, location, schedule for second event in Portland

When is LIV Golf tour's next event? Date, location, schedule for second event in Portland

The LIV Golf tour made its debut on June 9 when the Saudi-backed start-up hosted its inaugural event in London. The event lasted three days and saw 2011 Masters winner Charl Schwartzel emerge victoriously to earn the $4 million prize for first place.

The quality of play in LIV Golf London wasn’t the best, but the upstart tour has drawn a lot of intrigue as it looks to challenge the PGA Tour. And LIV Golf is doing its best to make sure that lasts as it secures commitments from players like Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed and Rickie Fowler.

Those players should help LIV Golf keep the attention of golf fans as it prepares for its second event. That said, the event won’t take place for a couple of weeks, as LIV Golf’s schedule is different than that of the PGA Tour, which hosts tournaments almost every weekend.

When can you expect to see LIV Golf back in action? Here’s what to know about the tour’s second event as anticipation builds to see its new 48-man field.

When is the next LIV Golf tour event?

The next LIV Golf event will begin on Thursday, June 30. That is exactly two weeks after the first day of the U.S. Open and three weeks after the first day of the inaugural LIV Golf event in London. The three-day tournament will run from June 30 through July 2.

Where is the next LIV Golf tournament?

The next LIV Golf tournament will be held at the Pumpkin Ridge golf club in Portland, Ore. Pumpkin Ridge opened in 1992 and has hosted numerous events on the LPGA circuit over the years. It hosted the U.S. Women’s Open in 1997 and 2003 while also serving as the home of the U.S. Women’s Amateur in 2006.

Additionally, the U.S. Men’s Amateur was held at Pumpkin Ridge in 1996. Tiger Woods defeated Steve Scott in that event to win his third consecutive amateur title.

There are two 18-hole courses on the Pumpkin Ridge golf club property. The “Ghost Creek” course is a Par-71 track that is 6,839 yards long. The “Witch Hollow” course is a Par-72 that is 7,017 yards long. LIV Golf has yet to clarify at which course the tournament will be held.

Russia banned from team events, players can still compete on ATP, WTA Tours

Russia banned from team events, players can still compete on ATP, WTA Tours

Russia has been banned from defending its Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup titles but its players will still be allowed to compete at the Grand Slams and in regular tour events.

The decision by tennis authorities follows Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last week. Belarus, a key staging area for the invasion, which Russia says is a “special operation”, has also been banned from the international team competitions.

“The international governing bodies of tennis stand united in our condemnation of Russia’s actions,” the ATP, WTA, International Tennis Federation and the Grand Slams said in a joint statement.

Russian and Belarusian players will be able to play on the elite ATP and WTA Tours but not under the name or flag of their countries, the governing bodies said.

Men’s world number one Daniil Medvedev and number six Andrey Rublev helped Russia beat Croatia in the 2021 Davis Cup final in Madrid in December a month after the Russian women won the Billie Jean King Cup in Prague.

The tennis authorities also suspended Moscow’s combined WTA-ATP event scheduled for October.

It is unclear whether Russia will be able to compete in the lucrative team-based ATP Cup in Australia. Russia made the semi-finals of the 2022 event in January and won the 2021 tournament.

The ITF said it had suspended the Russian Tennis Federation and Belarus Tennis Federation’s memberships and withdrawn their entries from all ITF team competition until further notice.

The decision followed the ITF’s cancellation of all its tournaments in Russia and Belarus.
