LIV Golf took its talents to Boston for its fourth event, LIV Golf Boston. And through Round 1, it’s been a tightly-contested affair.
LIV Golf “veterans” Matthew Wolff and Talor Gooch have made solid starts, showcasing the short- and long-game necessary to compete at the top of the LIV leaderboard. Wolff is in pole position after Round 1, posting a 7 under through the first 18 holes.
Gooch sits one stroke behind, caught in the middle of a battle for second place alongside LIV Golf newbies Joaquin Niemann and Cameron Smith.
