THE COURSE

Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, Gainesville, Virginia

Robert Trent Jones shaped how the world plays golf. And that’s not an exaggeration.

The great man designed or remodelled over 400 courses during his career, from Rio to Fukushima. You’ll find his footprints in the bunkers of Valderrama, the slopes of Medinah and the fearsome watery graves of Celtic Manor.

But there’s one course RTJ placed above all others. And that’s the one that bears his name in Virginia. Robert Trent Jones Golf Club was, he said, “my masterpiece.” And this year, it gets the champions.

THE COURSE

When you’re about to make history, you need a proper stage, right? Well we couldn’t have picked a more fitting venue for our Korea debut than Jack Nicklaus’ majestic course in Incheon.

Nicklaus, the 18-time major champ, has created a masterpiece in the middle of one of Korea’s busiest urban centers, with cliffs, sneaky dips and water hazards that shimmer in the shadows of the skyscrapers. Now it lies in wait for Bryson, DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Kevin Na’s local heroes IronHeads GC.

Graeme played some solid golf to coming away from Mexico in the top 20 with a T17 finish.

After Day 1, Graeme McDowell carded a two-under-par round, driven by an impressive performance off the tee—hitting 12 of 14 fairways to lead the field in driving accuracy. The 2010 U.S. Open champion carried that momentum into Day 2, starting hot with three birdies in his first five holes. However, back-to-back bogeys on the 5th and 6th (his 8th and 9th holes of the day) slowed his progress, and he finished the round at one-under. Day 3 was a tale of two halves: after dropping three shots over his first 11 holes, the Portrush native dug deep, closing with three birdies to post an even-par round on Sunday.

Result: T17 with rounds of -2, -1, E, Total -3

Team Smash GC finished in 7th place with a score of -9, -3, +6 for a Total of -6

THE COURSE

This is Mexico’s answer to The Greenbrier. A club that dates back over 100 years and has been conquered by some of the greats of our game: Byman, Crenshaw, and a galaxy of LIV Golf stars.

When you come to Club de Golf Chapultepec, history waits around every dogleg. Now let’s take a trip back into the course’s amazing past – and see what miracles could happen when LIV Golf visits in April 25-27.

It was a challenging week for Graeme at the tough Trump National Doral. He got off to a rough start on the opening day, recording a double bogey, and was unable to recover, finishing with a seven-over par 79. Day 2 was G-Mac’s best, despite another double bogey to start. Graeme rebounded with a strong mid-round performance, ultimately posting a one-over par 73. Unfortunately, it wasn’t his week on a course that didn’t suit his game, and on Sunday, he shot a six-over par 78, ending the tournament in a tie for 44th with a total score of +30. Onwards!

Result: T44 with rounds of +7, +1, +6, Total +14

Team Smash GC finished in T9 place with a score of +12, +14, +3 for a Total of +30

THE COURSE

“A big boy course” is how Brooks Koepka describes Trump National Doral Miami’s famed Blue Monster. Rarely have truer words been spoken.

The Blue Monster has been taming greatness for the last 60 years. Spanning over 7,500 yards, this awesome course is feared and revered for its flowing fairways and the nightmarish water hazard that guards the 18th green.

This is a place that forces top players to bring their A-game, and it’s already witnessed arguably the greatest shot in LIV Golf history. In 2023, Bryson DeChambeau inspired Crushers GC to victory with a ‘Birdie over the Birdie shack’, somehow chipping the music terrace and scrambling a birdie after his drive ended up on the wrong green.

Now we’re coming back right on the eve of Majors season, so everyone’s going to be dialed in. Here’s what to expect.

Graeme had a poor opening day on the greens at Macau G&CC, taking 34 putts as he opened with a two-over 72 to share 111th.

The 2010 US Open champion (45) double-bogeyed the second and three-putted the third to slip to three over.

He birdied the seventh, ninth and 13th to get back to level but had two more three putts as he bogeyed the 14th, 16th and 17th before finishing with a birdie.

On Day 2, McDowell found his rhythm, firing a five-under 65, which included eight birdies, to make a significant leap up the leaderboard heading into the weekend. However, he couldn’t maintain that momentum, posting an even-par 70 on Saturday, followed by a one-under 69 in the final round.

He can still rally in Macau or qualify for The Open via the LIV Golf individual standings or Final qualifying.

“Yeah, obviously it’s a great opportunity next week in Macau to have three Open Championship spot,” McDowell said after LIV Singapore last week, where he finished 53rd in the 54-man field.

“Especially for me with it being Royal Portrush, my hometown, there’s a little bit of extra motivation there.”

The Course : Macau Golf and Country Club, 6637 Yards, Par 70.
