While many former champions who now play under the LIV Golf banner will be taking part in the Masters this spring, whether the league will be a permanent part of the United States’ most prestigious golf tournament remains to be seen.

If LIV fails to earn Official World Golf Ranking points, many of its players won’t be eligible for majors.

In December, one LIV official commented that they could make their own majors.

Now, an unconfirmed report hints at something like that happening.

Could Greg Norman and company be planning on building their own golf course in Augusta, Georgia?

While there’s no way to tell if this is actually going to happen or in LIV’s plans, this would be an interesting development to consider.

LIV playing in North Augusta the week before or after the golf world descends upon Augusta National Golf Club? The storylines write themselves.

As of now, this year’s Masters will feature former champions like Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, and Sergio Garcia, along with Open Championship winner Cameron Smith, who is eligible for the next five years.

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.
