Though there is a novelty to the game being played after dark, the move is to cater to American television audiences at the request of LIV’s new television partner in the US, Fox Sports.
Home and away tournaments held at golf courses designed and owned by players. Events under lights in destinations like Dubai and more exotic overseas locations. These are just a few of the ideas LIV officials and players are considering as it looks to reproduce its successful Australian event across the globe.
Golf under lights presents a number of challenges, both logistically and for the golfers themselves. That said, both McIlroy and Homa say they’d be open to an under-lights event at the PGA Tour level.
