Meanwhile, Phil Mickelson will miss his first LIV Golf start with a shoulder injury. Ollie Schniederjans will fill in for him as the HyFlyers GC captain.

LIV Golf changed its format for the 2025 season, with all four players’ scores on each team counting for each round. Previously, only the final round counted all four scores with just the top three counting for each of the first two rounds. The change was made to increase competition on the team leaderboard and add some pressure on each player to contribute a low score.
Saturday’s coverage will begin at 10 a.m. ET on FS1 before switching over to FS2 at noon ET.
