Reuters: Coverage of this week’s inaugural event in the LIV Golf Invitational Series will be streamed on the organisation’s website as well as on YouTube and Facebook.

The Saudi-backed rival to the PGA Tour also announced Monday that Arlo White will anchor the three-person broadcast booth with Jerry Foltz and Dom Boulet. White was the long time voice of NBC’s coverage of England’s Premier League soccer.

On-course commentator Su-Ann Heng and on-course reporter “and social influencer” Troy Mullins also will contribute to the coverage starting with Thursday’s opening round at the Centurion Club outside London.

LIV Golf said more than 50 cameras and 16 different towers will be used, along with player and caddie mics, to follow all the action as the 12-team, 48-player field opens with a shotgun start.

Names in the field include Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen and Kevin Na. The PGA Tour has warned its members of disciplinary action for participating in LIV Golf events.
