LIV Golf's Top Ten Players of 2022

Sergio García

Though seemingly hesitant to join the LIV Series initially, Sergio García finally caved in to pressure and inked a lucrative deal that will see him showcase his legendary skills in the highest-paying league. The 2017 Masters Champion will be interesting to watch in the LIV Series.

Charl Schwartzel

Charl Schwartzel displayed his hunger for success when he emerged as LIV’s first winner in London, taking home a stunning $4.75 million for three days of work. Charl has never tasted such spoils on the PGA Tour, and his future on LIV looks spectacular.

Patrick Reed

Winning the Masters has many perks, like how the 2018 Masters win catapulted Patrick Reed to global fame. Lucky for him, LIV was starting to poach stars like him, and since he signed on, he is now enjoying doing what he does best for millions more than ever before.

Cameron Smith

Aussie golf phenom Cameron Smith is undoubtedly one of the most promising stars in the LIV Series. At just 29 years, Cameron boasts six professional wins, such as the 2022 Open Championship. After ditching the PGA Tour for LIV, the young star is already laughing all the way to the bank after winning the Chicago event that earned him a whopping $4 million.

Is LIV the Future?

LIV seems armed and ready to play golf louder, better, and more affluent. With such a star-studded squad on their side and their big financial muscle, the series stands to restructure the landscape of golf as we know it and change the fortunes of many golfers. Only time will tell whether OWGR rankings will include the LIV Series soon.
