Handicap 54 has been on-point this year when it comes to defectors to LIV Golf, and Watson fits the bill. He’s a two-time Masters winner but also hasn’t won since 2018. At 43, he has a name, yet his best golf is likely behind him.

The report goes on to say that Watson will join the series in 2023 and will also be a team captain. LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman said last week after the Open Championship that the LIV Golf fields are full for the remaining six events this calendar year.

Chris has worked in sports journalism for nearly 20 years and also loves the game of golf, even though it often doesn't love him back. Year-round golf is a perk of living in Florida, where Chris moved from his native New York shortly after graduating from college. Chris has played some famous courses in the state, including Bay Hill in Orlando and Innisbrook in the Tampa Bay area, and next on his to-do list is the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass to take a crack at the famous island hole.
