LIV Golf Virginia crowds cause for concern after Saudi withdrawal [View all]

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/golf/liv-golf-virginia-crowds-cause-for-concern-after-saudi-withdrawal/ar-AA22FHUY?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=69fdd20d5e304b78a340b8decfbeaf33&ei=18&cvpid=69fdd23fab8449d282eb71e0efda4416

The opening round of LIV Golf Virginia attracted a modest turnout, unless Bryson DeChambeau happened to be nearby.

DeChambeau joined the Saudi-backed circuit in 2022 when LIV Golf burst onto the golf scene and disrupted the PGA Tour, alongside two-time major winner Jon Rahm, six-time major winner Phil Mickelson, and numerous others.

The first event following the announcement of a Public Investment Fund withdrawal and funding cuts struggled with a notably thin crowd at Trump National Golf Club on Thursday, though DeChambeau might tell a different story. The 32-year-old LIV Golf star attracted a sizeable following, with fans clutching flags and balls eager for his signature, including one particularly enthusiastic supporter decked out in Donald Trump merchandise. It comes as DeChambeau drops injury admission with PGA Championship looming.
