The LIV Golf League returns this week to Chicago for its 12th event of the season. The Saudi-backed circuit has been off for a bit, with its last event coming over a month ago at Trump Bedminster in New Jersey — Cameron Smith claimed the individual title by seven shots while his team, Ripper GC, won the team competition.
With just the Chicago and Jeddah stops before the Team Championship in Miami, 4Aces GC leads the team point standings with Torque GC in second and Stinger GC in third. On the individual side, Smith leads the way followed by Talor Gooch and Patrick Reed.
Here are some of the best images from the week in Chicago.
