LIV Golf Teams - Bedminster Invitational Line-Ups Confirmed
The 12 four-man teams have been confirmed for the third LIV Golf Invitational Series event in New Jersey
The teams have been revealed for the third LIV Golf Invitational Series tournament at Bedminster, New Jersey.
After the all-South African Stinger GC took the $1.5m first prize in the inaugural tournament at London's Centurion Club, and Dustin Johnson's all-American 4 Aces GC won in Pumpkin Ridge last time out, those two teams remain unchanged for this week's tournament. Elsewhere, though, there have been plenty of changes, in some cases to accommodate LIV Golf newcomers Henrik Stenson, Jason Kokrak and Charles Howell III, who were revealed as the latest signings last week, alongside another new player, Paul Casey.
One of the big changes sees Casey and Howell III join Crushers GC alongside captain Bryson DeChambeau and Shaun Norris. Another significant change sees Lee Westwood's Majesticks GC joined by new man Stenson alongside regulars Ian Poulter and Sam Horsfield. Kokrak, meanwhile, teams up with captain Brooks Koepka, his brother Chase and Richard Bland as Smash GC aim for an improvement on their sixth-place finish in Portland.
Justin Harding returns to Phil Mickelson’s Hy Flyers following his brief defection to Crushers GC in Portland. Matthew Wolff and Bernd Wiesberger remain on the team. Sergio Garcia's Fireballs GC remains unchanged, with the Spaniard captaining Carlos Ortiz, Abraham Ancer and Eugenio Chacarra as they look to improve on their third-place finish at Pumpkin Ridge.
Hudson Swafford. Peter Uihlein, Turk Pettit and James Piot make up the all-American Niblicks GC, while there's now an all-Australian team, with Punch GC captained by Wade Ormsby alongside Travis Smyth, Matt Jones and Jediah Morgan. Martin Kaymer retains the captaincy of Cleeks GC, but he has three new faces alongside him - Graeme McDowell, Laurie Canter and David Puig.
Scott Vincent joins Kevin Na's Iron Heads GC, alongside Sadom Kaewkanjana and Phachara Khongwatmai, while the all-Japanese Torque GC sees Hideto Tanihara captain Jinichiro Kozuma, Yuki Inamori and Ryosuke Kinoshita.
Below is the full list of the teams and players for the Bedminster event.
