After a week off for the PGA Championship, the LIV Golf League is back in action this week outside the nation’s capital.
The Greg Norman-led and Saudi Arabia-funded series is hosting its seventh event of the season at Trump National Washington D.C. in Sterling, Virginia, with its signature 54-hole, 12-team and shotgun-start format. The talk of the tournament will be Brooks Koepka, who claimed his fifth major championship at last week’s PGA at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York.
LIV Golf has previously held events at the former president’s properties in Bedminster, New Jersey and Doral, Florida.
Mito Pereira, thanks to a second-round 5-under 67, is the outright leader at 9 under after 36 holes. Harold Varner III, who owned the 18-hole lead, shot an even-par round on Saturday and is in solo second at 8 under, one back of Pereira. Henrik Stenson and Kevin Na are tied for third at 7 under.
On the team side, Torque GC holds a three-shot lead over Stinger GC and RangeGoats GC.
