Recently, LIV Golf conducted its 2024 Media Week in Miami, with players from all teams in attendance. The event offered a comprehensive preview of the upcoming season, featuring insights from various participants.
Bryson DeChambeau, the captain of defending team champion Crushers GC, made a significant equipment adjustment last season by transitioning to a Krank Golf driver, resulting in notable improvements in his tee accuracy.
