Usage notes
"LIV" is the Roman numeral for 54, the number of holes per event and the score a player would shoot by birdieing every hole on a par-72 course. Pronounced "liv." Players who joined, including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka, were suspended by the PGA Tour. A framework agreement between the PGA Tour and the PIF was announced in June 2023.
