Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf is getting a chilly reception in Oregon, its first stop in the United States.

Monahan also said players paid an exorbitant amount of money would “have to be living under a rock” to not know they would be criticized for the source of the money. LIV Golf is backed by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.

Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson launched tee shots in the Saudi-funded golf league on Thursday, and it wasn't long before the PGA Tour said its players who took part were no longer welcome, even if they already had resigned.

Phil Mickelson, a chief recruiter for a Saudi-funded rival league to the PGA Tour, is ending his four-month hiatus by adding his name to the 48-man field for the LIV Golf Invitational.

Dustin Johnson is joining the Saudi-funded golf league. Johnson was the biggest surprise when the LIV Golf Invitational released its field for next week's inaugural tournament next week in England.

Six rookies combined for an 14-4-3 to win the Ryder Cup. The Americans believe this is just the start of what they say is a new generation.

With a Smile and Wave, Lee Elder took part in the ceremonial start at the 85th Masters. The 86-year-old Elder was the first Black golfer to compete in the Masters in 1975.

It's the quickest turnaround in Masters history. The tournament starts 144 days after Dustin Johnson won by five shots at a record 20-under 268.

Sam Burns had a great start and an even better finish at Riviera. Burns shot a 7-under 64 and leads the Genesis Invitational by two shots over Matt Fitzpatrick and Max Homa.

Jon Rahm saved the biggest putt for last. He made a 65-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to win the BMW Championship. Johnson forced a playoff with a 45-foot birdie putt.
