Here on the PGA Tour, Robert Garrigus could be in line for a significant – and much-needed – payday at the Zurich Classic.
Playing this week on a special exemption, Garrigus teamed with fellow special invitee Tommy Gainey to post a 11-under 61 Thursday in the best-ball format and sat one shot back among the early starters at TPC Louisiana.
Garrigus made headlines earlier this week when Golfweek reported that he has requested a conflict-event release to play in the first event of the LIV Golf series, which begins June 10 outside London. He’s the first player to be publicly named, though the deadline to request a release is Monday.
