LIV Golf heads to the Sunshine State for Round 3.
The LIV Golf League is still looking for its first repeat winner entering the second year of the tour, truly leaning into the whole “parity” thing. Last time out, in Tucson, former PGA Tour golfer Danny Lee took home his first win while with LIV Golf, and his first tournament win since July 5, 2015, when he won the PGA Tour’s Greenbriar Classic.
Entering this weekend’s Orlando event, there may be a repeat winner for the first time, if some early favorites hold. Dustin Johnson enters as the favorite to win LIV Golf Orlando at the Orange County National Golf Center.

Such a victory would be something of a historic one for LIV Golf — and maybe a turning point for Johnson’s LIV Golf tenure. After finishing with five straight top-10 finishes and a win in 2022, Johnson has finished 37th and 13th in the two tournaments so far this year.
Getting on the winning track would get him some big money — and make him worth the money that LIV has paid him.
Here’s how to watch this weekend’s tournament in Orlando:
LIV Golf will be broadcast exclusively on The CW throughout the 2023 season, with Rounds 2 and 3 Saturday and Sunday airing on the cable network nationwide.
