With many of the PGA Tour's biggest stars taking the week off before teeing it up in Phoenix during Super Bowl week, the golf world's attention shifts back to the Middle East, where hopefully someone is shaking that palm tree to find Patrick Reed's ball.
A handful of PGA Tour members and a boatload of contractually obligated LIV Golf players are competing in the Saudi International, which tees off Thursday at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia.
The field for the Saudi International, the first event of the 2023 Asian Tour schedule, includes LIV Golf stars Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau and others.
