It was easy to assume the LIV Golf members who play in 54-hole events with paltry television ratings wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of the prestigious Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club this year.
That turned out to be anything but the case.
Twelve of the tour's 18 players who competed made the cut, highlighted by Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson. The pair tied for second place at eight under par, while Patrick Reed tied for fourth at seven under. The 52-year-old Mickelson became the oldest player to finish in the top five at the Masters.
