LIV Golf Bedminster date: Teams, field, live stream, course details and how to follow as controversial tour heads to Donald Trump’s New Jersey course and prepares for 9/11 protestors

The third event of the controversial new LIV Golf Series is coming up this week as the field heads to Donald Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey.

Two South Africans have won the opening events of the inaugural LIV Golf season with Charl Schwartzel claiming glory in London before Branden Grace picked up the victory in Portland.

LIV are continuing to sign top talent with Paul Casey the latest big name to switch allegiances to the Saudi-backed tour.

New Open champion Cameron Smith has been linked with joining Greg Norman’s much-publicised enterprise as have the likes of Tommy Fleetwood, Henrik Stenson and Hideki Matsuyama.

The next event of the season will be held at Trump’s Bedminster club and relatives of 9/11 victims have urged the ex-USA president to cancel the tournament.

But it is still currently going ahead as planned and looks to be the biggest LIV show so far.

LIV Golf Bedminster: Format and course

LIV Golf is played over a shorter format to the traditional game and also has a team component.

The 48-player field is split into 12 teams.

Each player plays his own ball and there will be a winner as normal. But each team will also earn a cumulative score to claim the team prize.

The tournament is held over 3 rounds so 54 holes in total and there will be a shotgun start with no cut.

LIV Golf Bedminster: Prize money

Prize money has been a key topic since LIV Golf’s inception.

The first seven events feature a prize pool of £20million, with the individual winner claiming £3.2m.

The prize money reduces in accordance with a player’s finish, but last is still guaranteed £96,000.

The eighth and final event of the LIV Golf season will be a knockout style team event with a prize pot of over £40m.

LIV Golf Bedminster: What has been said?

Smith claimed a historic win at The 150th Open Championship at St Andrews last weekend but failed to rule out joining LIV after his victory.

Asked about rumours linking him with a move to the series, he said: "I don't know, mate.

"My team worries about all that stuff. I'm here to win golf tournaments.

"I just won The Open, and you're asking about that. I think that's not good.”

9/11 Families United chair Terry Strada said: “We’re trying to educate the golfers and the public in the dangers of sportswashing.

“It’s evident that MBS [Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman] is trying to improve the kingdom’s image by manipulating U.S. public opinion. What they’re trying to do, mostly, is erase history with the 9/11 community, and whitewash the responsibility they have to victims’ families and survivors.”
