LOS ANGELES -- The past week in men's professional golf seemed like a Hollywood script, with the PGA Tour pledging loyalty to its sworn enemy, the LIV Golf League, which is being funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and fronted by its favorite villain, two-time Open winner Greg Norman.
So, as the world's best golfers gather for the third major championship of the season, perhaps it's fitting that the 123rd U.S. Open is being played not far from Hollywood, at Los Angeles Country Club.
Players from both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf League are still trying to figure out exactly what's going on.
