LIV Golf Season Opener Faces Backlash Over Global Streaming Issues

Fans criticize LIV Golf's faulty app and limited international broadcast options during the kickoff event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The 2025 LIV Golf season began on February 6 at Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia, marking the league's debut at this venue.
While the event is broadcast on FOX Sports in the U.S., international fans, particularly in the UK, were left frustrated due to reliance on a non-functional LIV Golf app for streaming.
Fans expressed disappointment on social media, calling the situation unprofessional and criticizing the league for prioritizing U.S. coverage over global accessibility.
The season introduces a new scoring format where all four players' scores on each team count in every round, aiming to increase competition and pressure.
Phil Mickelson is absent from the season opener due to a shoulder injury, with Ollie Schniederjans stepping in as captain for HyFlyers GC.
