LIV Golf Invitational Series Portland Field
The field and captains for the second event in the Saudi-backed Series have been finalised
The 48-man field has been confirmed for the second tournament of the LIV Golf Invitational Series at Pumpkin Ridge in Portland, Oregon.
In the weeks following the inaugural event at London's Centurion Club, a number of PGA Tour players were enticed to the Series, including Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Abraham Ancer, Brooks Koepka and Pat Perez. The field has been further bolstered in recent days with three new signings, American Matthew Wolff, Mexico's Carlos Ortiz and World No.2 amateur Eugenio Chacarra. Japan's Yuki Inamori is the final new name in this week's field.
They will tee it up along with high-profile players from the maiden tournament, including winner Charles Schwartzel, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Louis Oosthuizen.
Because of the limited field, it is inevitable that some players who participated in the first tournament will miss out. That means Oliver Bekker, Ratchanon Chantananuwat, Oliver Fisher, Pablo Larrazabal, Viraj Madappa, Andy Ogletree, David Puig, JC Ritchie and Kevin Yuan are all players who competed in London who sit out the second tournament.
Overall, the Portland field will feature four former world No.1s, two in the current top 20 (Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka) and almost half in the current world top 100. As with the first tournament, players will compete in a 54-hole no cut competition combining individual and team formats for a purse of $25 million.
As well as the field, the 12 team captains have also been named, with new arrival Bryson DeChambeau immediately being handed the honour of captaining Crushers GC. The players who will be joining each team will be announced on Tuesday following a draft. Sergio Garcia, who captained Fireballs in London, has revealed the team name and logo is to change in time for this week's event.
You can check out the full list of both the field and captains below.
