The full field of 48 players has been confirmed for the second time LIV Golf Invitational Series event, which begins June 30 at the Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Portland, Oregon.
Players like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson are now joined by Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed as the latest high-profile players to defect from the PGA Tour.
Charl Schwartzel won the inaugural event at the Centurion Club in Helem Hempstead, claiming a whopping £3.85 million in prize money.
A £20m prize pool will once again be available as the Saudi-backed breakaway series continues to gain momentum despite the sanction of the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, with Carlos Ortiz and Matthew Wolff committed in the past week alone for LIV Golf.
