Fox Deletes LIV Golf Promo After Misspelling Stars’ Names, Excluding a Captain

The botched post drew ridicule, highlighting scrutiny of LIV’s presentation during a shaky offseason.

Overview

  • Fox Sports posted a 2026 LIV Golf promotional image on X featuring CEO Scott O’Neil prominently before later deleting it ahead of next week’s season opener in Riyadh.
  • The graphic misspelled three captains’ names as “Mickeslon” for Phil Mickelson, “Jonhson” for Dustin Johnson, and “Kraymer” for Martin Kaymer.
  • Only 12 of the 13 captains were shown, with Lee Westwood missing from the lineup.
  • The post remained live for roughly two and a half hours and drew criticism from players, media and fans, including Byeong Hun An noting his own name was correct while others were not.
  • It remains unclear whether the errors originated from Fox’s design process or from assets provided by LIV.
