In fact, some of the 18 LIV Golf players who will compete in the Masters have shown up and practiced at Augusta National Golf Club wearing team clothes.
The Telegraph reports that these players have agreed not to wear LIV Golf’s Roman numeral logo “out of respect for the tournament”, but this has not stopped some from displaying their individual team insignia on their jerseys and cap during the training round on Monday. .

The first test of how LIV golfers will interact with other golfers will be seen on Tuesday night in the traditional Dinner of Championswhere the defending champion and current world No. 1 scottie scheffler will be the host.
Six former Masters champions have become LIV players (Johnson, Garcia, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Patrick Reed, and Charl Schwartzel) They will share dinner with some of the colleagues who are openly critical of the Arab Super League, such as Tiger Woods.
“With Augusta National being such a special place and the history of the game and stuff, I think we can put all our stuff aside and come together for a nice meal, all in one room, be nice and hang out.” Scheffler told The New York Times.
Dustin Johnson, the 2020 Masters champion, agrees. “I heard talk about possible tension at dinner, but there won’t be any tension at my end. Also, I still have a good relationship with all my fellow Masters champions,” Johnson said.
The American said he doesn’t feel any different at Augusta compared to previous years. “It’s the same with me. All my friends are still my friends. We play, still golf, so it doesn’t matter where you play. I still play golf for a living. I’m in the Masters and I’m enjoying it this week. This week is over.” It’s about Augusta, it has nothing to do with how you play,” Dustin said.
However, this year there is more personal intrigue in the matter. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, another fierce critic of the Arab Super League, shared a training session in Augusta with Fred Couples and Tom Kim. The whole group cheered.
In general, LIV Golf players are greeted on the course with more hugs than cold shoulders by their PGA Tour peers.
