TLDR:
- LIV Golfers showed they could compete in majors with Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson finishing well in 2023.
- This year, the focus was on how long they would last in the field at the Masters.
At the 2024 Masters, LIV golfers had a mixed performance with some impressive showings and some disappointments. Bryson DeChambeau finished T6 with consistent play throughout the tournament, while Cameron Smith also finished T6 with a steady performance. Tyrrell Hatton managed a T9 with his best career finish at the Masters. And Jon Rahm, the defending champion, finished T45 after a challenging week. However, other LIV golfers like Joaquin Niemann, Phil Mickelson, and Brooks Koepka had a tougher time, with Mickelson unable to replicate his previous year’s success with a T43 finish and Koepka finishing T45. Overall, despite some ups and downs, LIV golfers showed they still have potential in major tournaments.
