LIV Golf Invitational Series vs. PGA Tour: How the schedules match up

On Wednesday, LIV Golf Investments announced plans for its LIV Golf Invitational Series, an 8-event schedule that goes head-to-head with a number of PGA Tour — and DP World Tour — events

John Deere Classic
The PGA Tour's John Deere Classic will go up against the LIV Golf Invitational's second event at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club outside of Portland, Oregon.

The 2022 schedule for the LIV Golf Invitational Series, the Saudi Arabia-backed league created by LIV Golf Investments, whose CEO is Greg Norman, was announced on Wednesday morning.

The league's schedule will feature eight 54-hole, no-cut events with a purse of $25 million per event — $20 million for the individual portion and $5 million for the team portion.

At present, three league events will be held during weeks there is a PGA Tour tournament, including the league's season-opener June 10-12 in London. That event will be held opposite the RBC Canadian Open, which is the week before the U.S. Open. Also, the LIV Golf Invitational Series' fifth event, Sept. 16-18 at Rich Harvest Farms outside of Chicago, will be held days before the Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The PGA Tour has not released its 2022-23 wrap-around schedule.
