\nBANGKOK: LIV Golf makes its eagerly awaited Asian debut in Thailand next week, and Crushers GC captain Bryson DeChambeau and teammate Anirban Lahiri have spoken of their excitement in bringing the fresh format to a new audience.<\/p>\n
\nForty-eight of the world\u2019s best golfers, including 12 major champions and four former world No. 1s, are set to tee off at the all-new Stonehill, the first stop in Asia this season ahead of a trip to Saudi Arabia for the LIV Golf Invitational Jeddah, the seventh of eight events this year.<\/p>\n
\nThe LIV Golf Invitational Bangkok takes place Oct. 7-9.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe game of golf is global, that is first and foremost,\u201d said 2020 US Open Champion and Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau. \u201cAs I have traveled to Dubai, and won overseas, and played in the UK and did well \u2014 even as an amateur at college, I played the World Amateur Championship in Japan, I played the Australian Masters and Australian Open as an amateur. And playing those events, you realize that golf is not just this small little thing in the States. You realize it is a global game.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThis summer, LIV Golf announced that the LIV Golf League will officially launch in 2023 with 48 players and 12 established team franchises competing in a 14-tournament schedule. The full slate of events, to be announced in the future, is expected to expand LIV Golf\u2019s global footprint across North and Latin America, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Europe.<\/p>\n
\nLIV Golf has also made a $300 million, 10-year investment in the Asian region through the creation of The International Series \u2014 a program of events with larger prize purses on the Asian Tour in venues such as Thailand, Singapore, Korea, Egypt and Morocco, as well as England so far this season.<\/p>\n
\nThe Crushers GC roster has featured a broad range of international stars such as England\u2019s Paul Casey and Richard Bland, India\u2019s Anirban Lahiri, South African stars Shaun Norris and Justin Harding, and Australian Travis Smyth.<\/p>\n
\nDeChambeau believes that this approach will appeal to more markets and improve the game.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI looked at this opportunity. I got Anirban on the team and Paul Casey on the team, and it is great to have international players on the team so we can grow internationally and that\u2019s my goal,\u201d said DeChambeau. \u201cSo many people don\u2019t know this great game and having created amazing relationships, I want to provide that opportunity moving forward and that\u2019s what I think team Crushers and LIV Golf can do, and that is what we are trying to accomplish and expand, and grow this opportunity to the max.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nLahiri, a star in his native India, finished second in his LIV Golf debut in Boston following a dramatic three-way playoff with Chile\u2019s Joaquin Niemann and the eventual victor, Johnson. He spoke about the excitement that has already picked up in his home country and across Asia after being onboard with LIV Golf for just one month.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOne perception from back home is that people are looking at the golf and they are excited about having one of their own playing on this stage. People are excited about LIV going to Asia,\u201d said Lahiri. \u201cAt least 20 people I know from India are flying to Bangkok and that\u2019s just from India, not Singapore or Malaysia and everywhere. Golf is huge in Asia.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cPeople are viewing this as something that could be a lifeline going forward. Not just what they are doing with the Asian Tour, but they are going to get to see the players they want to see. They are loving the broadcasts and it is overwhelmingly positive. I\u2019m very happy that so many people are positive about what is going on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nLahiri explained how the new format and the broadcast on YouTube will enable fans to see more of the action.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEven if I\u2019m in middle of the field, you are still going to see me hit a few shots, and there is still a narrative if you follow my team,\u201d Lahiri added. \u201cThe people who follow me will also follow (the team) because it affects me. And that\u2019s where the team aspect builds the fan base. The whole dynamic works well, especially in the countries where golf is growing. People are still trying to get interested and involved with the sport, and this platform does a lot more for engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
