How to watch the Saudi-backed LIV Golf London event for free online

The Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series is all the talk in the sport right now, especially after former World No.1 Dustin Johnson went back on his word and signed up to play in the first event in London.

Johnson, a two-time major champion, had declared he would be fully supporting the PGA Tour and remaining on the circuit where he ranks third in all-time career earnings with a whopping $74 million. 

But a reported late bid in the region of $150 million for the services of Johnson appeared to pay off for Norman's team, and Johnson is the star name now headed to Centurion Club for the inaugural 48-man LIV Golf event from June 9 to 11.
