The fifth season of LIV Golf kicks off this week at Riyadh Golf Club, Saudi Arabia, amid significant player movements and a controversial format change to 72 holes starting in 2026. Patrick Reed and Brooks Koepka have departed for the PGA Tour, while stars like Bryson DeChambeau express mixed feelings about the league's evolution.
